I think this kid is pretty amazing. I mean, he's twelve, and he's working on disproving the big bang theory and augmenting the theory of relativity. He's in college, and starting next semester, he's ditching the books and becoming a paid research assistant. He's solving some of the most complex ideas of astrophysics, physics, etc. He has a math IQ of 170. Wow, Jacob Barnett. Way to be smarter than Einstein.
My personal victory that makes me feel like I have some intellectual potential is that I understood what he was explaining in this video. If you don't know anything about calculus (like my mom) you'll probably be baffled by this. I promise it's just the vocab that confuses you. It's really not that hard. I just think it's incredible that it took me some writing and consulting with my brother to understand this and I was taught it by a 12-year-old.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
This.... makes me WANT to do math.
ReplyDeleteI've NEVER felt this before!!!! D: Help me!!!
What do I tell you? Calculus is SO MUCH FUN! I used to hate math until I learned calculus. Now it's almost my favorite subject!
