16 year old German-Indian Boy solves 350 year old unsolved math problem.

[DCal430]

A 16-year-old has managed to crack puzzles which have baffled the world of maths for more than 350 years.
Shouryya Ray has been hailed a genius after working out the problems set by Sir Isaac Newton.
The schoolboy, from Dresden, Germany, solved two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using powerful computers.

Shouryya Ray cracked puzzles set by Sir Isaac Newton which have baffled mathematicians for more than 350 years
His solutions mean that scientists can now calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall.
Shouryya only came across the problems during a school trip to Dresden University where professors claimed they were uncrackable.

Very interesting, wonder what the actual problems are though.

The guy looks like he's 40 years old. Using way too much brain power there buddy.

 

[ViviTheMage]

glad he was german-indian super relevant.

 

[randomrogue]

German-Indian! So THAT'S why he solved it!

Guy looks like he's in his late 30's to early 40's. Is this article proofread for accuracy?

You really think so? He looks like a nerdy teenaged kid in a suit to me.

He might want to do something about that brow.

 

[gevorg]

did they picture his dad instead?

Anyway, congrats to the dude. Hopefully he won't go all weird like Perelman.

Dude, he is using a Dell. :awe:

 

[Crono]

German-Indian?

Damn, I think he might actually be the one real Aryan on the planet!

Exactly. It is no wonder that he was the one to solve this.

I'm of Indian decent and my wife's side is fully German. Our kids are cute but not that smart.

Dude, he is using a Dell. :awe:

He looks a little like Indian Hitler.

Latitude D630.

I rather like that model.

 

[dennilfloss]

Good for him.

 

[HAL9000]

Nope. I was wrong. Ignore this post, it doesn't exist.

 

[Xcobra]

lol my first thought when I read the title... German-Indian, eh?

 

[Printer Bandit]

german? dude is indian who moved gemany.

 

[sdifox]

god for him. Think he can used that for his phd?

 

[Zorander]

Looks more indian than german to me.

It's possible he really is 16. I had a few indian middle school classmates myself who had that kind of look.

The term "Aryan" was derived from the Sanskrit word "arya" and was used to describe an honorific character. The word however was also used in old Iranian literature, the term "airya" has an ethnic meaning, and means Iran, or Iranian.

From there on, the word has been borrowed in other literature, and as it stands, I have no clue what your statement implies.

The description of his achievement certainly sounds less than remarkable. Does anyone know what specific problems he solved?

Pretty sure EA Sports and 2K Sports will be knocking on his door here pretty soon. Madden needs a more accurate method of calculating the ball's movement as you throw an incomplete pass after all.

Either that, or we're going to be seeing a KILLER game of Pong here shortly.

One word: Caucasian.

Oh, The Caucasus Mountains, how I miss my ancestral homeland! :awe:

This. The problem as described in the article sounds like something any introductory physics student could solve.
