Chinese Symbols and Mathematical Genius – Are They Connected?

Students in China who learn Chinese have to memorize 40,000 symbols or characters in the Chinese language before there are 14 years old. This takes a tremendous amount of studying and personal effort. Many students in the United States did not like math because they have to memorize symbols and that confuses them. Today English is the language of mathematics free Rocket Chinese and business but it may not be that way 50 to a hundred years from now. The kids in China are smart just like American kids and with the proper schooling and education they can excel just as well and in mathematics perhaps even better.
