Schoolboy 'genius' solves puzzles posed by Sir Isaac Newton that have baffled mathematicians for 350

Shouryya Ray put the historical breakthrough down to 'schoolboy naivety'

Munich: A 16-year school boy has solved puzzles posed by Sir Isaac Newton that have been baffling mathematicians for last 350 years.

According to international media reports Shouryya Ray began solving complicated equations as a six year old but says hes no genius.

Shouryya Ray was hailed as a genius after working out the problems set by Sir Isaac Newton.

The solved problems include two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using powerful computers.

His solutions mean that scientists can now calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall.

The genius boy came across the problems during a visit toDresdenUniversity with his school where professors claimed they were uncrackable.

I just asked myself, Why not?, explained Shouryya.

I think it was just schoolboy naivety. I didnt believe there couldnt be a solution, he added.

Longing to become a better football player Ray says he has enjoyed what he calls intrinsic beauty of maths.

Modestly Shouryya has pointed out he was weak points as a mathematician, and says he is not as competent in sport.

hehehehe if he was Pakistani then report would said government should help him ;)

Heh? Seriously ? We do this nearly every day as engineers :| Statics and Dynamics is IRL physics and calculating the flight path of a thrown ball (particle) depends upon material, angle, speed, temperature and a lot of other parameters. I dont believe a math equation can solve these problems as they are quite complex and need to be approached step by step (thus the need for super computers - IF its a super computer of 1950s :| ----Dont believe me ? Look up Moore's Law on google)

Real Maths problems are something completely else. If i remember one of them is Fermat's last theorem (not the little theorem-thats something else). These things are taught in germany at high school lower maths level (my gf is german :| -that why i know for sure )
