Math Genius

A man who was attacked and beat up, suddenly becomes a math genius! How did this happen? Well, due to his brain injury, this man became a savant, an individual who is exceptional in one or a few areas of cognition. This one injury can help everyone learn how they might also become better mathematicians! As shown through measuring his brain waves and activity, math skills resides mostly in the left hemisphere of his brain. This man now sees the world through mathematical concepts such as geometry. I hope that we can figure out soon how we all can quickly and easily increase our math skills. With the way human technology has been progressing, I would not be surprised at all if the use of surgery to increase skills was available in my lifetime.
