As a record-holding memory athlete, Simon Reinhard knows better than anyone that our memory is a powerful tool — and yet, it is very limited. After a spectacular demonstration of number memorization, he explains why we can remember things better if we put them into context, and teaches us how to go beyond the current abilities of our memory. With personal stories, he shows how this technique can help you at school, in your career, or even if you just want to make a point in a discussion.

Simon Reihnard was born in Munich and studied Law there, finishing in the top 7.5% of his class. During his university career, he came into contact with memory techniques; he learned that there was such a thing as „memory sports“, the competitive memorizing of different kinds of information (numbers, names, words, cards) in a set tournament format. He started competing right away and found it thoroughly fascinating to memorize more and more information with the help of techniques which use a set of locations and images.

Іргелі ғылымның маңызын барлық адам түсінетін сияқты, бірақ шын мәнінде оның қажеттілігі мен пайдасын көп адам түсіндіріп бере алмайды. Іргелі ғылымның негізгі міндеті табиғаттағы немесе қоғамдағы үрдісті неліктен солай болатынын түсіндіру. Жұлдыздар шаң-тозаң, газдардың шоғырланып тығыздығы артқан кезде жаратылады. Сол сияқты білім де бастапқыда көзге көрінбейді. Бірақ белгілі бір тығыздықты қалыптастырған кезде революциялық ойларды тудырады — қоғамда және ғылым мен техникада прогресс жасалады. PhD, математик, теоретик-физик, механик, ҚР мемлекеттік сыйлық иегері. Ұлттық ғылым академиясының ең жас мүшесі
