14-Year-Old Kazakh Mathematician Publishes 'The Cube Adventure'
A 14-year-old from Kazakhstan, Akbar Nurlan, has made waves in the world of mathematics with his debut book 'The Cube Adventure'. The young author, guided by his mother and mentor Laura Sapa, believes in the power of personal projects to enhance academic achievement. Laura Sapa, a career coach and professor at Murdoch University Dubai, emphasizes the importance of such projects. She notes that high academic scores alone are not enough for university admission, and personal projects help students stand out. Akbar's journey is a testament to this. Akbar's interest in mathematics and logic began at a young age, with the Rubik's Cube serving as a symbol of solvable problems. He started by helping friends through videos and diagrams, eventually turning his passion into a full-fledged book. The book, a creative journey into the world of the Rubik's Cube, explains complex algorithms in simple language. It is available both offline in major regional networks and online on platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Akbar's mentor and professor at Murdoch University Dubai, Professor Ian Phillips, has played a significant role in his development. The book is published by international publisher Austin Macauley Publishers and is available in the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan. Akbar Nurlan's 'The Cube Adventure' is more than just a book about the Rubik's Cube. It is a testament to the power of personal projects and the support of family and mentors. The 14-year-old's achievement serves as an inspiration for other young students, demonstrating that age is no barrier to making a mark in the academic world.
