Jaime Escalante:
...Did you know that neither the Greeks nor the Romans were capable of using the concept of zero? It was your ancestors, the Mayans, who first contemplated the zero. The absence of value. True story. You *burros* have math in your blood... A negative times a negative equals a positive. Why?
[the whole class looks at him blankly; he sighs deeply and shakes his head]
Jaime Escalante:
We're gonna need a lot of Kleenexes - there's gonna be a lot of bloodshed.
