Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:Probably had a really good recommendation letter from Math teacher since he let him skip two years of math and has taught him college level math (Number Theory, Real Analysis…) for past two years. He is the definition of ‘naturally’ gifted mathematician. As a mom I am super proud of him!
