Meanwhile in China and India...

Lmao....winning at Math Olympiads isn't a good way to judge anything...

China has 10 times the population of Russia but less than twice the amount of gold....Russia has more Silver and Bronze....so does the US. China has 3x the population of the US.


And you thought you're helping China by posting this image?

Even tiny Hong Kong got 11 gold and more silver and bronze than mighty China.

What has population gotta do with the gold ? there's limited slots. BTW,the US teams also seem like basically a Chinese team . Ofcourse Hongkong has 11 gold,they have world class education in the highly developed city state with one of the highest IQ in the world they can produce fine participants.

We have our entry test exams too. Difficult and critical as it can be. However, I did O/A level, which are as critical as these questions are. Nothing, fancy I can say about that above question. In my experience, I always had good teacher of Math/Chem in O/A level in DPS Lahore, even in BSc, but not good teachers of Physics. It extends later to dynamics, then thermodynamics, turbo-machinery, and then fluid dynamics.

The math was always there, like Calculus, Differential equation, Liner algebra,, numerical methods but its application (Physics) was missing in my experience.
Whats your say in it. @khansaheeb @JamD

Oh wow you went there? Model town?

Indians are so good at math? So how many International Mathematical Olympiad gold medals have Indians won? Must be about the same as the number of gold medals of the Chinese?

I heard that Indians' mathematical talents have gone to the United States and Canada, so there must be a lot of Indians in the American IMO team and the Canadian IMO team?
