Wonders of Human Brain

The world’s fastest human calculator Alexis Lemaire, 27: Alexis Lemaire, a 27-year-old Frenchman, correctly calculated the 13th root of a random 200-digit number from a possible 393 trillion answers.The so-called ‘mathlete’ produced the answer of 2,407,899,893,032,210 in 70.2 seconds, beating his previous record of 72.4 seconds, at London’s Science Museum. Like an athlete, he trains his brain daily for the far harder task of finding the 13th root of 200-digit numbers.

Context

The link provided below is a great example of a mathematical technique being introduced in a very simple and effective manner Link :An Introduction to Lagrange Multipliers The point of the article is to make ANY person curious on some of the aspects of the Lagrangian Multipliers How many times have we come across teachers/instructors just dumping a set of formulae/definitions with out taking the time to explain the CONTEXT…Most of the times you read stuff with out a proper context and sadly when the context appears, you are clueless because you don’t even know that you have a specific math tool to solve the problem.
