It is almost impossible for us to imagine mathematics without something as seemingly simple as a calculator. It was a human who created the calculator, but can the human brain be compared to a calculator? Do you have a calculator in mind? Can your brain work as fast as a calculator?

Age is just a number and it has got nothing to do with talent, as age does not define the boundaries of excellence. Priyanshi Somani has just proved that right. This kid with exceptional math calculation skills has broken all the records in mental calculation.
