In this part of the book, The professor, the housekeeper and her son are adjusting to everyday life together.Firstly,
With the Professor, there is nothing but talk of Mathematics. He never asks anything about the Housekeeper's life. When the Professor realizes that she has a son he is very enthusicastic about him coming over.
Why do you think this is? He wants kids to maybe have a great education but someone to "learn" from him because he was a teacher before.
The Housekeeper is a single mother and she cares for Root all by herself, the Professor is amazed that she lets Root do things on his own.
How was the Professors childhood? Quiet... and very studious probably
His head is "flat" and thats why he calls him Root.
The Housekeeper had no father
Its interesting how she and her mother shared the experience of giving "birth to a fatherless child." They were brought together though, and became closer because they bonded over Root before she passed away.
Hanshin Tigers! Theyrre a Japenese baseball team... which is pretty neat
I dont really like how the Professor cant adapt to other people or kids liking something other thatn Math.. they can have other interests...

Chapter 1
In the first chapter, we get to know about the many characters and the reasons for why they are being written about. The Professor used to be a math professor
Memory stops in 1975!
He wore the same kind of suit everyday.
How did he use all the new inventions of this decade if he doesnt remember anything since 1970's?
Quote from Page 7
"Every morning, during the entire time I worked for the Professor, we repeated this numerical q and a at the front door. To the Professor, whose memory lasted only eighty minutes, I was always a new housekeeper he was meeting for the first time, and so every morning he was appropiately shy and reserved."
She introduced herself by pointing to the note on his cuff. Thats so cool.
The numerical games he plays with the Housekeeper are very interesting and you can automatically tell he has a gift.
This numerical Q & A was weird for the housekeeper because she has been spending time with him for all these days and the Professor is greeting him like hes never met her before. He was reserved when he first meets her too.
He was always thinking. He never wants to be bothered and always writes new ideas down, probably like new equations that he has figured out how to solve..
Always excited about the housekeeper answering his questions, they seem to have a bond after the first few days.
The company she works for, so those other housekeepers never worked out? This shows how great she actually is.
