to become a philosopher and solve logic puzzles. Philosophy led him
to physics, and physics led him to mathematics. Learn how Marcelo
thinks about mathematical equations as puzzles to solve and how
solving one of those puzzles helped him learn about how the
universe works.The Who Me? series features inspirational
biographies of scientists whom young readers will be able to
identify with as people like themselves. Written by the scientists

discovering new things, and who decided to work hard in school in

and easily understood and be introduced to cutting-edge science
these scientists are working on today.Who Me? series co-editors:
