MATHAMATICIAN TO MATHEMAGIAN

 Mathamatician To Mathemagian




A mathematician is someone who use an extensive knowledge of maths in their work whereas mathemagician is a mathematician who is also a magician, one who play with numbers and combine math with magic.


Basically mathematics is not everyone cup of tea because for many it is a nightmare. Mathematical anxiety is very common in several students. Mathematical anxiety also known as math phobia,is anxiety about one's ability to do mathematics. It is a phenomenon that is often considered when examining students's problems in mathematics.


But for 30 year old VIVEK RAJ from KERALA alppuzha district playing with numbers is just like a breeze. Give him any number 2 OR 3 Digit to multiply,add,subtract, he will do it as fast as lightening. He can do calculations quickly in his head. VIVEK was in class 7 when his father gifted him a calculator but by the time he grew up, he himself became the calculator.



" I WAS INTERESTED IN NUMBER RIGHT FROM CHILDHOOD. I LOVE PLAYING AND CALCULATING WITH NUMBERS. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I HAVE TO SIT AND TAKE EFFORT TO STUDY. ITS SOMETHING THAT I ENJOY DOING . IT COMES TO ME NATURALLY. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU LOOK AT NUMBER PLATE OR A DATE CALENDER? I TEND TO MULTIPLY THE NUMBER WITH ITSELF FOR AS MANY TIMES AS I CAN CALCULATE ,ITS FUN FOR ME" says vivek.


In 2016 Vivek made Limca Book Of Record for fastest addition and multiplication. He was given number 67 by the examiner and he multiplied it five times within 15 seconds and got an 11 digit number as answer. YES! are you surprised? but its true he is a MAGICIAN.


Vivek wants to make students like him. he wants to help students to remove the fear of maths which is inculcated in their mind. Vivek hope to be a changemaker in today's education system.
