I agree, the math in the general GRE test is very simple. Try the math subject GRE. GRE Subject Tests: Mathematics Definitely not as hard as math Olympiad but if you could score perfect on that test, then you likely know everything about undergraduate math for a math major. I believe China...

Hi Wagner, are you a mathematician? You seem quite in tune with the math culture.

Culture has a lot to do with math. Many American students are bad at math because it is "not cool" somehow. Also the way it is taught might discourage students from studying math because they think it is boring.

I agree, India didn't do well not because of social Darwinist theory of Indian's gene, more likely the education system as well as Indian culture. If it weren't for Asian Americans in the US, I'm sure US would ranked the same as UK. Most people (even college educated) in America can't do very...

SAT is a very easy test. Math Olympiad is very difficult, even PhD math students have trouble with the problems. Terence Tao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This guy is the youngest Math Olympiad winner in history. Also a Fields Medalist. It is not a waste of money to spend a lot of time...

Imagined communities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Benedict Anderson defined a nation as "an imagined political community - and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign".[1] Members hold in their minds a mental image of their affinity: for example, the nationhood felt with other...

Geography is Moscow's disadvantage. It will never be a financial center the way New York is because it lacks an ocean. Rio and Cape Town just doesn't command the same respect as Shanghai. South Africa doesn't have the same potential to be an economic superpower as the other BRIC, and Brazil has...

An accident is an accident. On the youtube page, most comments are not about offering condolences. Here are a few examples "MADE IN CHINA.... WHAT DID THEY EXPECT!!!" "Chinese taking over the world? LOL Little fantasy world's here.Chinese are hated in every countries they go.There are hardly...

I agree, it is irrational to hate any country, but people do it anyway because where you grow up, and the media that you watch ultimately shapes how you think. I think a good indicator for how much a country is liked or hated overall is by the ratio of likes/dislikes on the youtube page for...

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not a 50c soldier. I just wanted to illustrate that for irrational reasons, the world is against china more so than other countries. When a train accident happens in china, people will make stupid jokes, but if a similar accident happens in Spain, people offer...

I see this all the time from people in general not just Chinese. Go to any WW2 video on youtube and on the comment section, some Japanese troll will be offering long convoluted arguments about how it is all propaganda and Japan is the good guy. Indians will post about unrelated comments...

Isn't Vietnam also communist? Do you know that after the Fall of Saigon, Vietnam killed 2 million plus people through "reeducation through labor camps" because they were "American collaborators"?

That's nonsense, the Mongols invaded Europe in 1300-1400's. Definitely not the first time a European power lost to a non European power.

best troll name ever "risingsuperpower"

Sociologist Daniel Chirot claims that around 100 million people suffered and at least one million people, and perhaps as many as 20 million, died in the Cultural Revolution It is estimated that 20 million people died to Japanese invaders, so I'm not sure if it is "far more". Either way, when I...

Publicity stunt to make uk colonial history look less racist by creating a statue of an indian.

Funny how people claim manufacturing will move away from china because of higher labor cost. Truth is other developing countries lack the geography, manpower, infrastructures, stability, and literacy rate to replace china.

People still watch shows on TV? I think all my friends switch to just streaming on internet. All major American TV channel has official sites where people can stream recent shows.

I agree that Japanese cars are good quality. But this thread is about electronics, and I simply disagree that Japanese electronics are any good now. When it comes to smartphones, apple and samsung are much more popular because they are superior, not because they are cheaper. When it comes to...
