He participated twice in the World Memory Championships in London under his birth name, placing 12th in 1999 and 4th in 2000.
Daniel is a masculine given name and a surname of Hebrew origin. It means, "God is my judge", and derives from two early biblical figures, primary among them Daniel from the Book of Daniel. It is a common given name for males, and is also used as a surname. It is also the basis for various derived given names and surnames.
The name evolved into over 100 different spellings in countries around the world. Nicknames (Dan, Danny) are common in both English and Hebrew, although in some instances "Dan" may be a complete given name rather than a nickname. The name "Daniil" (Даниил) is common in Russia. Feminine versions (Danielle, Daniela, Daniella, Dani, Danitza) are prevalent as well. The Dutch names "Daan" and "Daniël" are also variations of Daniel. A related surname developed as a patronymic, Daniels. Other surnames derived from "Daniel" include McDaniel and Danielson.
In the United States, the U.S. Social Security Administration reports that Daniel has peaked as the fifth most popular name for newborns in 1985, 1990, 2007, and 2008. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in the 2000 census, "Daniels" was the 182nd most common surname in the U.S., while "McDaniel" was ranked at 323, and "Daniel" (without a final "s") was ranked at 380.

Interview de Daniel Tammet dans l'émission "Salut les terriens" du 7 mars 2009 --------------- Daniel Tammet, né à Londres le 31 janvier 1979, est un autiste savant atteint d'une forme particulière d'autisme (appelée syndrome d'Asperger) connu aussi pour ses capacités linguistiques et de mémorisation. En fait il ne calcule pas : les solutions lui apparaissent sous forme de paysages, il est synesthète. Il résume sa philosophie ainsi : "L'important n'est pas de vivre comme les autres, mais parmi les autres". --------------- Vous trouverez d'autres interviews ici: http://laconicblog1.blogspot.com/

What an incredibly interesting guy!
Markus Lanz vom Mittwoch, den 16.07.2014 "Daniel Tammet hat das Asperger-Syndrom und gehört zu den klügsten Menschen der Welt. Eine Fremdsprache lernt Tammet innerhalb einer Woche. Außerdem ist er ein Mathegenie. Der 35-Jährige hält den Europarekord im Aufsagen der Kreiszahl Pi. Gerade erschien sein Buch „Die Poesie der Primzahlen“. Bei „Markus Lanz“ sagt Tammet, was Zahlen und Menschen miteinander verbindet, erklärt, wie wichtig ihm ein strukturierter Alltag ist und verrät, seit wann er sich so akzeptiert wie er ist."

Extrait de l'interview de Daniel Tammet avec Frédéric Taddei sur Europe 1.
Daniel Tammet a su faire de ses différences des atouts pour savourer pleinement sa vie. Diagnostiqué asperger et atteint de synesthésie,synesthésiepar lequel différents sens d'une personne sont anormalement associés, l'auteur anglais pense en chiffres et en couleurs plutôt qu'en mots. Ayant surmonté le défi de s'exprimer en toutes lettres et maîtrisant pas moins de 12 langues, il fait maintenant le tour du monde avec ses livres dans lesquels il verbalise sa poésie des chiffres et des couleurs sous forme romanesque ou autobiographique. Curieux de nature, il pique aussi notre curiosité!

http://bit.ly/PYZtsQ Der 25-jährige Engländer Daniel Tammet ist wahrscheinlich der grösste Hirnathlet der Welt. Daniel ist nicht nur ein absolutes Mathe-Ass. Er hat auch ein schier unerschöpfliches Gedächtnis und spricht fliessend neun Sprachen. Als Kleinkind litt Daniel Tammet häufig unter epileptischen Anfällen. Im Alter von drei Jahren hatte er eine besonders schwere Attacke. Seitdem scheint mit seinem Gehirn etwas passiert zu sein. Als Grundschüler las er am liebsten Mathebücher und löste Rechenaufgaben. Während die anderen auf dem Pausenhof spielten, betrachtete Daniel die Bäume und studierte die Muster in den Blättern. Heute kann Daniel die unglaublichsten Rechenaufgaben im Kopf lösen. Dabei kann er Ergebnisse bis zu hundert Ziffern nach dem Komma ohne Fehler errechnen. Auch sein Ge...

Daniel Tammet's Inner World Daniel Tammet is a high functioning autistic savant. In this presentation I intend to explore Tammet's faculties in light of my theory of the Wisdom of the Body (WOB). In order to understand better Daniel Tammet, we ought to answer the following questions: 1. What is the physiological manifestation of savant syndrome? 2. What is its amplified form manifested by Daniel Tammet? 3. Why is it suppressed in us? Wisdom of the Body is a conceptual framework in which medical phenomena may conveniently be studied. It is a theory about the interaction between three entities: Mind : The conscious WOB : The non-conscious Exterior: The environment WOB theory studies and describes the communication between the three realms. It is less concerned with their natu...
Este documental nos muestra a Daniel Paul Tammet, quien no sólo tiene una extraordinaria habilidad para los números, sino que también posee una sobresaliente capacidad para las letras. Este brillante joven inglés habla nueve idiomas y es capaz de hacer difíciles cálculos matemáticos. Sus habilidades las ha desarrollado después de un ataque epiléptico que sufrió cuando tenía 3 años. Un documental a ver.
Exploramos la extraordinaria capacidad de Daniel Tammet, quien sufrió un ataque de epilepsia cuando era muy pequeño y desde entonces "obtuvo" lo que él denomina un extraño poder que le permite hacer cálculos increiblemente complejos sin esfuerzo y le otorga un increíble don para los idiomas. Hay muchos superdotados por el mundo, en mayor o menor grado, pero el caso de Daniel Tammet es verdaderamente asombroso. Sufre un extraño caso de sinestesia, de tal forma que él "siente" los números. Para él tienen propiedades como tamaño, color, forma, movimiento o luminosidad. Cuando se le pide que realice un cálculo matemático él no se pone a resolver mentalmente el problema siguiendo un algoritmo aprendido, simplemente los números van apareciendo como un paisaje delante de él y solo tiene que lee...
