History is full of prodigies and I will try to name a few.  Mozart was a musical prodigy and Enrico Fermi was a mathematics and physics prodigy.  Pablo Picasso was an artistic prodigy and Blaise Pascal was another mathematical prodigy and invented the first digital calculator.  Arthur Rimbaud was a literary (poetic) prodigy and Clara Schumann another musical prodigy and the wife of Robert Schumann the composer.  Wernher von Braun was a prodigy in music, physics, and mathematics, and this led him excel in rocketry and became the father of space travel.  Srinivasa Ramanujan was another mathematical prodigy and Stevie Wonder was a modern and blind musical prodigy.  And finally, Sor Juana Inez de la Crus, born in the mid-1600s in Mexico, was a literary prodigy and one of the most important authors of the Baroque period.
