The violent attack that turned a man into a maths genius

  He didn't become a maths genius, he developed savant-like drawing ability from the TBI. It's really sad seeing poor quality journalism/sensationalist articles being upvoted here. What happened to old HN?

    The quality of mainstream journalism is dwindling as those institutions can only stay relevant by manufacturing outrage. The BBC now reads like BuzzFeed.

    It's also interesting to see it called a "longread" when it is only like 2 pages long. Is the attention span that short?

    it's just the headline and as a layman these fractal drawings that he does appear very mathematical in nature. Let's cut the BBC some slack here.
