Mr Uduak Nanga, aka Mc Calculus, who just concluded a new Guinness World Record 150 hour non-stop mathematics lesson by an individual, has said he embarked on the venture because he needed a platform to let people, especially the youths, know that mathematics is easy and fun.
Nanga, a native of Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State who concluded the challenge at Kings Kid Christian International High School, Uyo, earlier in the week, in a chat with our correspondent on Thursday, said he desires to reawaken passion for mathematics among young people.
“That was why I went into the Guinness World Record attempt, so what I did is beyond the record. Just the platform that I needed to show the whole world that they should have passion for mathematics. “Doing so would enable the young ones, students and everyone, to understand that mathematics is good for everyday life. Because beyond using it in academics, mathematics can be used in time management, planning and solving complex problems in life.
