Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón

Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón was not born a mathematician, but he became one. He works at the University of La Rioja, in Spain, where he researches in something called computational algebra, which has him entertained almost all the time. The rest is spent teaching classes, and talking about science and math, wherever he finds people willing to listen. And he is always found in talks, social networks, YouTube, television, radio and various podcasts. He has also written several books with such threatening titles as Inteligencia matemática, Apocalipsis matemático, El árbol de Emmy or Invitación al aprendizaje. It is known that someone has read the entire four books. He has received several awards, all during his lifetime. He often comments that his greatest achievement is to make some people realize that they liked mathematics, even though they didn't know it.
