I have chosen option two for this post, and have decided to write about Scott Flansburg who absolutely deserves the title of "Human Calculator". Scott was born on December 28, 1963 and has grown up to be one of the quickest people at mental math of all time. Scott Flansburg now holds the Guinness World Record for fastest time recorded when adding. He is now one of the quickest mathematicians around, and frequently does performances to show his great talent to multiply, add, subtract, divide and much more.
Many of Scott's ideas tie into what we talk about in math class. One example of this was a topic of one of our previous blogs pertaining to the use of technology. He believes that things such as calculators, and possibly computers, should not be used so widely and that if we try we won't need to be so dependent on them. Because of these opinions and extraordinary talents he rightfully deserves the nickname of the human calculator which helps everyone to recognize him for his intelligence and talent.
