Indian politician Shashi Tharoor is known, not just for his impeccable vocabulary, but also for his witty comic timing and the art of cracking self-deprecating jokes with so much ease.

Recently, the orator took to Twitter and shared a snippet from a letter that he has received from Jalaj Chaturvedi, a Mathematics teacher in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
In his attempt to teach mathematics beyond numbers, the teacher concluded that Tharoor’s hairline is a good ‘quartic fit’.
“I believe that Mathematics should be taught beyond numbers. In Mathematical Modelling in grade 12, we explored that your hair line is a good quartic fit. Kindly see below & feel free to use it.”
The teacher even shared a diagram with the politician to support the claim.
The MP from Thiruvananthapuram was sporting enough to share this theory with the world.

That’s a Hair Raising scenario! I guess this teacher wanted to find another celebrity Scalp. Very Bald move on their part.

As per a report by The Indian Express, ‘a quartic function is a polynomial with integer coefficients with the highest degree of four.’ The graph looks like this:
That’s pretty close and nice a observation by the mathematician. What do you think, math geeks?
