Western countries perceive Asians as the mathematics whiz who can calculate and solve the mathematical and quantitative problems with the blink of the an eye . This is partially a fact , because Asians have superior mathematics than the non-Asians . But it does not necessarily mean that they a very good mathematical knowledge , on an absolute scale . The Asians , are cultured in a way that they are always made to stress more on studies and the traditional learning methods (Do -It-A-Thousand-Times-Until-It-Is-Done) help them score brilliantly . By this very way they can out stand the western traditional learning methods and so their students .
