Could a 16 year old who has an iq around 160-200 and studies 16-20 hours of math everyday achieve a math knowledge similar to Sidis,Ramanujan or Gauss? Not considering the physical/mental risks.
A teenager who reads Wikipedia knows more than Gauss they just can’t apply it like he could. We have infinite knowledge at our fingertips, gauss had to go find and read books he had to hope he was lucky enough to find in his own language.
>>16947074The ability to invent math is more important than knowledge. See Grothendieck's success. You should try to become an IMO medalist. IMO problems require almost no prior knowledge and will help put you in the right frame of mind to "discover" math from ignorance
