K E N D A M A

The link between math and physics is undeniable. Tadashi Tokieda is a Japanese mathematics professor specialising in this field. He is especially interested in toys and from his video explanation, we look at how mastering the art of Kendama can be made easier through knowing some basic math and physics!


P.S. I have tried the "tricks" out myself and they really do work.

In addition, there is an entire playlist of this particular professor's videos on Youtube that are intriguing and worth watching. Here's a link to it: Tadashi Tokieda on Numberphile. Some neat and simple mathematical tricks can be learnt from these videos. Do share it with your friends and see their faces grow in amazement!
