Educator, American Folk Figure. A native of Bolivia, where he taught mathematics for twelve years before immigrating to the United States, he taught calculus in an East Los Angeles, California high school, where his success in teaching mathematics to mainly poor students came under unfair skepticism, and inspired the 1988 motion picture "Stand and Deliver".
