Let the Song of Multiplication Everywhere     

I, Dr Yuchuan Wei,  a retired mathmatician, think that the multiplication table is  the fifth 

great invention of acient China and is worthy to be populaized everywhere. 

I believe that the one syllabled pronunciation of numbers is a must to fast reading the basic multiplication 

like 3*7=21, and  the multiplication table is the unavoidable  entrance  of  the following math studies. 

I  have no idea how the enormous debt of a country formed and I have no solution to the problem of  

homelessness, but the worldwide inefficient  math teaching is abolutely  a great wast of  socal wealth.   

To do what I can, from now on I will devote myself to  simplified  pronunciation of numbers 

and  fast reading of the  times table in all languages.

Join me if you have the same understanding. Let everyone feel the Chinese rhysm and enjoy the Chinese speed. 

Together, we can make the world better, though only  a little.
