Stand and Deliver is a film dramatizing the work of Jaime Escalante, a dedicated Los Angeles Mathematics who developed a rigorous program intended to teach basic math students calculus and prepare them take the AP exam. The actual course of events took place at James A. Garfield High School in 1982 when an entire class of 18 seniors passed the AP exam and the Education Testing Service took issue claiming that the results were statistically improbable. The board required that 14 of the students retake the test and all 12 of the students that accepted the retest passed again.

2. "You're like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there!"
3. "Calculus was not made to be easy. It already is."
