Child prodigy: Talent is not bound by age, and there have been many examples of this. A child who is just 9 years old possesses such an incredible understanding of mathematics that he easily solves IIT level problems. While children his age are learning addition and subtraction, this child is astonishing teachers as well. People are praising his method of teaching math. Not only is he learning himself, but he is also inspiring others to learn.

Let’s find out about this boy named Kritin Gupta and fondly called Wonder Kid, who has become an inspiration for others at such a young age.

According to reports from Asia Book of Records, Kritin Gupta was born on October 5, 2015. He resides in New Delhi. His parents have stated that Kritin began showing interest in mathematics at a very young age and now he teaches mathematics to students up to the 12th grade, and his teaching method is so enjoyable that children have started solving math problems like a game.

He wants to remove the fear of mathematics from children’s minds. Also, he has a passion for setting world records in everything. He has been conferred the title of ‘Grand Master’ for teaching mathematics to senior students in various schools and colleges.

Kritin has been teaching mathematics to school and college students for the past four years. His aim is to remove the fear of mathematics from children’s minds. Kritin’s unique talent makes his parents feel very happy and proud. Initially, they were amazed, but now they support Kritin at every step of his mission.

Kritin developed a deep interest in mathematics from the age of four. He believes that mathematics is not just a subject but a fun puzzle that should be solved.

Now, he is included as the chief guest in various programmes and grand events where people also ask him for autographs, and he happily gives his signature to everyone.

Vashishtha Narayan Singh

Kritin has been compared to Vashishtha Narayan Singh, the Indian mathematician and academic who taught mathematics at various institutes in India between the 1960s and the 1970s. He supposedly challenged Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. He was posthumously awarded the Padma Shri in 2020. Singh was a child prodigy who received recognition as a student when he was allowed by Patna University to appear for examination in the first year of its three-year BSc (Hons.) Mathematics course and later MSc examination the next year.
