The Mathemagician
Professor Arthur Benjamin has performed his mathemagics show over 1,100 times and in twenty-one different countries, and has given three TED talks, in addition to a highly successful TEDx talk at Oxford.
“He talks like a performer, acts like a magician, and multiplies faster than a calculator.”
Master Lee
Jeonghee Lee has made several television appearances — as both a calculator and a teacher — and has generated a variety of media attention in both Korea and the Western World.
“Without mathematics, there is nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers.”
“Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. It is knowledge itself.”
“Numbers rule the universe.”
“If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is. ”
