Re: [AI] Visually-challenged IIT-ian gets math gold
This is what can be called a truly exemplary achievement. As someone who always found maths to be very difficult and often frustrating, I am truly amazed to read this. Indeed, very few of us would have even dared to study maths beyond what is necessary, let alone securing the first position in that subject in an IIT. I would really like to speak to this genius. On another note, it was very disheartening to read the views of some people about this article on the TOI website. It further goes to show that mental blindness is far more dangerous than visual blindness. Cheers, Rahul On 19/09/2012, Phen Varghese phenvargh...@gmail.com wrote: Excelent indeed.
