Mr. Gao (高元勋 Gao Yuan Xun, born 1927), a Mental Arithmetic Master lives in Ji Lin, endeavors to popularize mental arithmetic zealously regardless of his age. Mr. Gao loves abacus since childhood, he was engaged in financial department since the age of 16. With the title of "Math Genius", he won a lot of champions in arithmetic competitions.

He dedicated his time to propagate the traditional mental arithmetic knowledge after retirement. He was invited to give talks in Universities and even taught masses in the street on mental arithmetic. Until one day, in order to spread his knowledge better and farther away, he found it is necessary to keep pace with the times.

At the age of 78, he started to learn computer from zero, and within four years, he was able not only to type, chat, email, surf and even created his own blog. He propagates mental arithmetic knowledge on his blog and by visual conference tutoring on QQ, he is online every day to offer tuition and answer questions.

"Prenatal education for babies, enlightenment guide for children, wisdom exploitation for students, broadening the scope of thoughts for adults, enlivening brain functions for elders, is the ultimate" Mr. Gao repeatedly urged and emphasized.

Mr. Gao, an elder of 91 with energetic and agile mind, is still striving to learn and overcome difficulties to accomplish the mission of making mental arithmetic widely known. Undoubtedly, Mr. Gao is giving a strong and convincing demonstration in person on the benefits of practicing mental arithmetic by himself.

Welcome to contact him to show your interest, care and support by [email protected] or QQ: 293593260 or visit his blog http://hexun.com/h8765194 Mr. Gao learned numbers through abacus when he was a child. Unlike children nowadays, he did not get Maths Phobia due to abstract mathematical concepts. Abacus is easy to learn and understand, and he regarded it as an amusing toy. Great enthusiasm and interest on mathematics was cultivated consequently.

Mr. Gao is proficient in arithmetic very quickly and he began studying the relationship of numbers in his spare time. Finally, combined with more than 30 years of working and teaching experience, he summarized and concluded with a great many arithmetic rules for Four Fundamental Operations according to specific numeral pattern.

After Mr. Gao retired in 1983, he started to publish five books on the topic of mental arithmetic, namely “Brain Maths”, “Brain Maths Principals”, “Brain Maths Exercises”, “Abacus Handbook” and “Preschool Mathematics Exercises”. The publication was selected and won the “Ji Lin Excellent Arithmetic Book Award”.

In August of 2004, Mr. Gao was elected as an executive board member of of Ji Lin Science Books Authors Association. Thereafter, seminars were hosted in different parts of China, he attended various academic conferences in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008 to introduce and propagate his “Brain Maths”.

Dr Shichida (七田 真) was born in Shimane of Japan in 1929. He holds a Doctorate in Education and is well-known for brain capabilities research and learning.

He committed himself for more than 40 years to developing techniques to stimulate the early development of the brain. Over the years, more than 400 Child Academies are established in Japan adopting "The Shichida Method", suggested by Professor Makoto Shichida. His revolutionary idea in education spread to America, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia quickly.

As we all know, our brain capability is never being fully utilized. Generally, only around 3-10% are exploited and it mainly comes from our left brain. However, Professor Shichida states that everyone can master techniques in using the powerful right brain. With balanced brain,  study is a lot of fun for children, working efficiency and living standard are improved for adults.

Professor Shichida proposed that we should stimulate our right brain by human five senses. For learning or carrying out any activities in our daily life, we should use both of our left and right hands as much as possible. According to Professor Shichida, we must train our ears to get familiar with the specific frequency and rhythm before learning a new language. Concentration, relaxation and imagination are the principles for photographic memory training.

"Geniuses are expert in using their right brain; right brain is the source for wisdom." He claimed and proved repeatedly in the books. In fact, when right brain capability is triggered, study is no more hard work. Comparatively, these children need less time in studying 1 subject, they can therefore spend the spare time to other subjects or extracurricular activities. Although Professor Shichida's research concentrated on brain training chiefly for children, he found that adults can master the techniques in a certain extent as well through the similar training.

Professor Shichida has written more than hundred books, particularly on stimulating brain of infants and children, as well as for children with brain injury, mental retardation or Down's Syndrome. Certainly, there are books on adult right brain training e.g photographic memory, language learning, speed reading etc. Numerous methods are provided in the books for arousing the right brain ability, but the key to success is always "Persevere and Never give up".
