Mathematics is an 11- letter word that, with the mere mention of it, triigers weird reactions and scowls from people of all ages. From the time we learned how to count, it marked our lifelong and inseparable bond with math that we will continue to share forever yes, we can’t run away or hide from it! It follows us around everywhere. It all starts with counting, then come “x” and “y”, and then Trigonometry, Integration, etc. You may feel that it makes you want to pull your hair out at times, but you have to face it everywhere.

            As we all know, not everyone has the talent to solve math problems. Most of us are somehow having difficulty in finding the x. Those that is capable of solving problems with a blink of an eye are really something to us.

            Notice that math knowledge itself is not a path to becoming a math genius; it was demonstrating the skill to an audience. The easiest way to becoming a math genius is to do some mental math tricks. You’ll be a hit at parties and when you get a press conference you can stun people by doing math in your head.

            Whether we see math as something that is for the genius only, we can’t deny the fact we live in the world of math. And every one of us is able to solve our own math problems.
