Richard Feynman SAW Von Neumann Solve The IMPOSSIBLE In Seconds

Описание: Richard Feynman SAW Von Neumann Solve The IMPOSSIBLE In Seconds

There is a math problem that separates ordinary genius from something else entirely. I have seen brilliant people attempt this problem. Mathematicians. Physicists. People who could solve equations that would make your head spin. They all approach it the same way. They think for a while. They see the trick. They find the shortcut. They solve it in a few minutes, feeling clever about themselves. Von Neumann solved it in seconds. And when someone said, "Ah, you saw the trick," Von Neumann looked confused. "Trick?" he said. "What trick? I just summed the infinite series." In his head. Instantly.
