Good Lord! And my idiot ten year old son struggles with division and hasn't memorized multiplication tables.

Will any Americans have any achievements like this? Maybe if they’re homeschooled.

Since then, he was moved up two classes in school and is currently sitting his Abitur exams two years early.
The Abitur two years early, that’s impressive.

It’s likely below him. but can we send him to DC to teach them basic math.. like how to balance a check book?

If Obama had a son it would neither look nor act like him.

“Ray first came across the old problem when his secondary school, which specializes in science, set all their year-11 pupils a research project.
On a visit to the Technical University in Dresden pupils received raw data to evaluate a direct numerical simulation – which can be used to describe the trajectory of a ball when it is thrown.”
Meanwhile in America ..

Ray’s solutions make it possible to now calculate not only the flight path of a ball, but also predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall. That reminds me of this story of a group of guys who tried to use a computer built into their shoes to predict how the ball on a roulette table would behave. A fascinating, and true story.

Is this one of the big seven math questions?

He’s too late. Obama solved this but before Al Gore.

Ray, whose recent breakthrough may have earned him a paragraph in the schoolbooks of the future, is currently deciding whether to study maths or physics at university. If you know the math, the physics is easy.

To: James C. Bennett
The article doesn’t go into much detail about the actual problem statement. I’ll assume it’s a bit more involved than using the angle of restitution used for inelastic collisions, and since numerical simulations are little more than hand calculations performed really really fast, I’ll further assume he derived a closed form solution e.g. a nice “plug-in” formula.

Does anyone know what problem he actually solved?
As described here, it’s not that tricky; what am I missing?
