The “International Mathematical Olympiad” is a competition where over a hundred different countries compete to be the best. Except on one occasion, China’s been ranked in the top 3 for the past 30 years. But are they really good at math? We hit the streets of Beijing to find out.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population.
Special thanks to our Asian Boss videographer, Yang.

Abacus is underrate. My grandmother at the age of 91 can calculate with abacus in her mind faster than me using a calculator.
In India I don't know about the others but I personally never used an abacus to calculate...so one I thought of trying it out...and it was really easy....the thing is...I am basically very lazy to write do all the calculations so I tend to do them mentally...but I never used an abacus..and on my birthday my mother gifted me a pencil box which had a tiny abacus....so I thought of learning how to use it and then calculating mentally....and it was really easy....and faster too
I only used abacus when I was 7. That's it.

I hate my country india for not allow calculators in maths exam 😭😭
In India, calculators are needed for sums like 20 log (cos(2pi/3).
or 12.5 sin (2*pi*2000*2*10^-3 + 1.583).
We need them but we don't use it for 51 *2, or 39+55.
@@Crazytesseract Chinese can’t even use calculator because teachers said that is cheating and why use a calculator when you can use your brain. I lived in Hong Kong and my school won’t even allow that. If the teacher catch us using calculator on those hw, they will said “ If you don’t use your brain then why even come to school? “ Like what- My math is not very good though, usually I only get a 95-91, my worst is to the mark with 86,78,64,43, and 86 is already a very low marks to my parents and teacher.
@@_Muffin_cotton same even in our competitive exams in India if we are using calculators they will disqualify us for almost 3 to 4 years from the exam as it considers as cheating
As a Chinese I have to say that those questions are really elementary lol
Yeah but it was more about the answer speed here
Yeah i am indian, and i admit that.
since i grew up in math competitions i can second that argument
As a Indian I also think like u ☺️
True that is . Especially if you learnt to use the abacus
The people who rated themselves 4 or 5 out of 10 yet they answer it like it was not a question at all. Damn!
I mean if you compare those questions to calculus or other high level maths then 4 is really good. That's almost half way to the very best
Because you need to know very complicated math knowledge to rate yourself above 6 in China.
It's just the conversion rate throwing you off. A 4 or 5 on the Asian scale converts to a 8 or 9 on the Western scale.

I am 12 and I am Indian and I was able to do all of them very fast 😁
The first one took me 3 seconds but it was pretty easy though and the others took me not more that 12 seconds. In India if we use calculators inclass then we will get thrown out of the class and if we use calculator in exams then it is considered cheating and our papers would be cancelled.
True😅
First one is easy as hell.
87 +87
80+80 160 and 7+7 14 160+14 174
Btw i forgot to put the equal sign but doesn't matter... And the others 12×14
14×10 is 140 and 14×2 is 28 so 168
Man please don't brag. These qre adults who haven't have had the remotest connection to maths if they work in healthcare, art, fashion. You are student, and considering that you are an Indian, taking the science stream, so this is none the less expected. 🙁
In Vietnam, teachers, At least in my school, encourage us to use calculators so that we have time to study the formulas. We even have a Events to test our calculators ability so that we can do them fast in test.

The thing is we have memorized some values of sqaures and root overtime bcoz those are the values we have to convert very often in problems that's why the guy also said 'ive memorized this before' its just that we practice alot of problems and are not allowed to use calculators so to avoid calculating everytime we memorize few values

Asians are really good at math... here in India also students learn basic math in class/grade 1 at the age of 5.... Like China square roots also introduce in middle school at the age of 10 .
You might be surprised to know that it's the same in the US. Middle school students get the basics of advanced math. However, the focus is more on understanding the concepts than memorization. Memorization is good for test taking because you can calculate faster. But for complex problems, you have to understand the process or you will not get the right answer.
@@raggmopp857 absolutely true ,here in india till 10th grade everybody is like "maths is super easy " and as soon as they choose maths subject for further studies or for competitive exams ,students opinion change as advanced maths rely highly on concept rather than memorising and some even regret taking maths . It's true in asian society parents doesn't care what their kids learned in school ,they just want more and more no o A's on report card
@@raggmopp857 It's taught the same way here in the UK. Just memorising the correct answers would be considered a fail here in Cambridge when we were kids, etc. It's so frustrating, because i am good at memorising stuff, but not explaining how i got to the answer step by step because i've always lacked patience, so i was put in math classes for people with learning difficulties, even though i aced every test,because i couldn't explain it, they always accused me of cheating.

@@completeuncertainty2561 In India we r taught the same too. But it wud be better if instead of making us memorize they taught us faster techniques to calculate any square. Sadly we hv to learn that ourselves from parents or some age old aryabhatta book
@Cool Dude Nope wrong! Square root of 144 is 12 *OR* -12 not 'and'
So any of the 2 answers is correct.
Next time don't try to teach asians (India in this case) the math they invented
So basically in China & India peoples memorise qubes, sqaures & squareroots from early childhood... & you see the results!!... (No CALCULATORS*)
And multiplying Tables upto 100...before you reach 10 years of age
At least table upto 10 is enough.. For example cube of nine is 9×9×9 = 81×9 =729
sqrt(256) = either 14 or 16 cause for only square of unit digit 4 and 6 only produce 6 in unit digit.
It's just the way their educational system work. Learning everything by heart, learning tricks to calculate mentally faster. It can be considered good and it can be considered bad.
Upto 100? Nope only 20 , you did too extra not that it hurts , but not necessary
@@ashutoshkumar1960 100 before reaching 10??? Nope
Imagine if someone was half Chinese half Indian
That would not even make them an entity
Daaamn. They'd probably rule the world or something.
@@cee5899 just like in silk road era?😂
100x50% + 100x50% = 100
they already exits as chindian
I love this video, I come back to use as motivation at times. I am not generalizing all of America, but I wish more American schools did more to help students to excel at math and mental calculations. Not every child had parents that could afford tutors, and since I attended poor schools learning certain subjects (peacefully) was a challenge for me.

I think you should this for Japanese too, I really would like to see that
What about physics

why are the translation so bad. dude
I have NEVER heard a Chinese bragging about how good they are at maths, only Indians
@Miya sumi yup I have same thoughts I know the people who are bragging in comment section can't do basic math but they embrass all Indians 😞
@Miya sumi Chinese are made to do a lot of cramming even in Maths while Indians are trained to mentally calculate even if it is a small calculation. It is not rote.
Bragging is considered very poor taste in East Asia (unless it's your kids, then people brag like crazy)
I always hear Pakistanis whinning idk why
@@Khushi_R9 he or she is not a Pakistani dear plz read the comments again
Indian's are god in maths and by able to speak in English makes them Perfect for any CEO's of Companies.🙏🇮🇳🙏
..... In western companies. Chinese CEO can work in Chinese companies and rival against US.
I think different things are taught as basic math facts in different places. In elementary school in Texas, we memorized addition and multiplication tables for every pair of numbers up to 12, and I still have those memorized, but only random stuff past that. Also, the powers of 2 are basic for me because of computer science, which is why it shocked me how long it took the Indian's and Chinese to figure out the square root of 256, even though they did most of the questions faster than I could (particularly the Indians, who seem to be better than the Chinese).
The difference is, when the questionnaire was asked in India it was in front of a University, school area. When the Chinese was asked, they were random working people. Both societies have strong emphasis in Math and both societies have extremely smart people. The difference is how those smart intellects are utilized within its respective societies benefits from it.
@@canismajoris3910 The proximity to a university definitely would make a big difference in any country. I don't think I noticed that at all.
Wtf did he say we learn about square roots in college?
Right? I learned my square roots in middle school xD
it's a translation mistake, in China we kinda call high school college and college university. Wierd
We learned it In middle school , we also learn cube roots
Lol but for Chinese and Indians what you’ve learn is just a prime childish things lol for em
he is smart thou
If they had asked me that question i would have ran away by hiding my face from that camera..lol😂
Like the old adage goes, solving complicated questions is like solving Chinese arithmetic.
Yeah there is an idiom for that lol
Ran away

S n e H a same haahahhahaha
Hi kkei, nice interview!
I'm an Indian (but apparently this is true for Chinese people as well) and the education system forces you to memorize multiplication tables and stuff a lot.
Other than that, in school we are made to practice mental math a lot. So, even if we forget the tables, we can quickly multiply in our head.
In India, calculators aren't allowed in school. Even in most colleges it's not. In my college though, which is a research institute, it is allowed.
But honestly...... INDIANS and CHINESE have so much in common!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱
Asian girl: I'm really good at math I think

PokemonParadise2010 the China girl said 还行 which means so-so (still can), not really good...
Ahahaha
The girl feeling :
Her frnd is also asian xD
I am in 10th standard and studying in *India* some people might find those square root hard but for a 7th Student it also they are pretty easy here probably because of our education system or the mindset of Indian society toward maths.
And I observed it is pretty same in *China* also
two years of this comment but still no reply. Thats sad you must have even forgotten this comment even existed
So now you're in 12th right?
Oh yeah
I got the square root in 5th grade of elementary school
And at 6th are harder (numbers)😬😬

I teach in a tutoring center that primarily caters toward Chinese-Canadians. On average, the students there are about 2 years ahead of public Canadian schools. Teaching there as someone who thought they were pretty good at math, I was surprised by how much higher the expectations were in the tutoring center than when I learned in public schools.
just my two cents- i'm a social sciences major in uni so it's been a while since i've had to do real math but i was able to answer all of the questions super easily so i think the questions were honestly quite simple and could have been more difficult if the goal was to express how rigorous and how much of an impact chinese math is/has
Yes. If this is the level of math that an adult youtuber considers as representative for math, it gives a really poor impression of the all mighty asian math.
That being said, simply asking people to do math on the spot in the street is stupid. If you answer on the spot, it means there is no thinking, just rote reflexes.
About the math olympiads, it's mostly due to the decadent culture of the West where excellence is considered fascist and no child of the elite is told to care about math competitions but instead learn to make a child startup or build a robot.
(that being said, average people are stupid, anywhere you go in the world)
I would rate 0.5/10 for these questions even a 1 class student can answer them
I learned square roots in 6th grade what is he talking about😂 1:55
In my country we learned about them in high school lol
I’m in the “smart kids class” why haven’t we learned this
Same here I also learned them in 6th grade. I am an Indian. But now I am living in New Zealand and they are teaching that thing to us in 10th grade and they don't know how to do that.
Same here. I'm 13 now. I also learnt this when I was in class 6.
I'm from India

watched this bcs im interested, but i also got ttracted to the guy in the thumbnail HAHAHAHAHA
I'm American and I'm pretty sure I learned square roots in middle school. My wife agrees the same for her, but our education systems were pretty good. Guess that should be taken into account when generally comparing the Chinese and American school system as that on guy in the video referenced.

It's ok ♡♡♡
144+24=168 thats how i do it
@@yilongliu2353 10 x 14 + 2 x 14 = 168 is even better.

I agree that everyone can be good at math regardless of nationality through learning and skills.
One of the quotion in this video was in my homework thanx
Hmm I am convinced that INDIA, China,south Korea, Singapore and Japan are very good at maths😎🇮🇳🇯🇵🇨🇳🇰🇷🇸🇬
Include Singapore too. they top all 3 categories of maths, Sci and reading in the PISA ranking.
@@ymhktravel but isn't Singapore a part of china.i was told that Singapore will sooner or later integrate with china.🤔

Yeah they will, after they complete the bussiness with philipine, they will claim singapore
I used to be great at math when I was a student and I think math made it easier for me to learn and understand other subjects such as grammar and stuff. There was even a teacher at the school that would teach some grammar rules with basic math and it was way easier to understand for me and I know it untill this day because of it. If you open your mind to understand math you start having a more logical thinking about things.
And by the way. if you did the same test with college students in other countries I am pretty sure they couldn't answer half of the questions that easily.
honestly
teachers just make them memorise the results
just like basic multiplications
As a Sri Lankan, I don’t feel anything different than their views. Those are basic questions.
🙂
是的
Sri lanka is also in Asia
same
Not even basic. They're taught in primary school.
Correct.
