Anonymous Coward User ID: 15993935 Netherlands 12/15/2012 04:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why do Asians do so good as Math? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3767410 I think it has something to do with having increased brain capacity. What do you think? It has to do with their language. Math is inherent to their language. So counting is like speaking and speaking is like counting.(in a way, don't take this too literal) Imagine if you thought the same way about math as you do about the language you use. |

On average a white person is more creative in approaching problem-solving. However, the best at any of the fields above might be black or Mexican. It's merely an average - not a forgone conclusion. However, it does seem that the smarter a person is, the more he tends to lack social skills. If you get an extremely bright person who also has social skills, you really have a winner. |

Everyone is a animal with a brain that tricks itself into thinking it is not a animal. Regardless of skin color, we all... eat, shit, and breathe. So..... it doesnt matter what the fuck someone is good at. Help to another being is the only thing on this planet that will truly benifit. Not a math equation. ;) |

Fuck that I'm part white and that shit looks insane even though I know some Kanji. Fuck that noise that's why they are good at math. Quoting: Farfignuten I like this one. if an Asian was born and bred in America and didn't learn to read Chinese, he would probably be as good as anyone else, right? |
Does it matter? User ID: 5359980 United States 12/15/2012 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Asian family has a stronger work ethic but if you`re asking who`s smarter, well it`s close but i would have to look and see which mind created our modern advanced math that`s so complicated, and that would have been the white man. Issac Newton invented the math of the infinitesimal, Calculus just to further his understandings of gravity and forces in motion. |

UHHHHH, you make no sense. But let me guess because of the language the asian will get the job before the white does. |

It's merely an average - not a forgone conclusion. e] While theoretically that may be true, considering that there have been hundreds of white Nobel prize winners in math, science,physics and medicine and only 10 black Nobel prize winners(7 peace prizes and 3 literature) I would take that hard math you all speak of and crunch the numbers. CRUNCHING....CRUNCHING.....Ah yes here we are,the odds of a black or mexican being the premier mind in advanced mathematics today are..This is a little embarrassing folks, it seams the odds are so high we`ll need to wait for yet another form of math to be invented in order to fit the numbered odds in our modern understanding of mathematics. |

Hahahahaha User ID: 28872856 United States 12/15/2012 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NEANDERTHALS excel at math because they have a larger occipital lobe. The J's have the most Neanderthal genes (up to 70%) of anyone, and they do superbly at math. That is why they are astronomers, astrophysicists, etc. The Chinese are the group with the second-highest concentration of Neanderthal genes (albeit a different Neanderthal ancestor, but Neanderthal nonetheless) and they also excel at math. BRAIN STRUCTURE and the brain's SIZE RELATIVE TO BODY MASS, not just brain size, that are indicators. That is why an African Grey Parrot, with a brain the size of a walnut, is so freaking smart. |
