<p>And throwing it out there, I have yet to meet any student here who I consider a true genius. Granted, maybe I have my standards too high. Here is an example of what I consider genius,</p>
<p>[Stephen</a> Wolfram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolfram]Stephen ”>Stephen Wolfram - Wikipedia )</p>
<p>This is the guy who made mathematica, here is an excerpt from the article:</p>
<p>
At the age of 15, he published an article on particle physics and entered Oxford University (St John’s College) at age 17. He wrote a widely cited paper on heavy quark production at age 18. Wolfram received his Ph.D. in particle physics from the California Institute of Technology at age 20 and joined the faculty there. He became highly interested in cellular automata at age 21. Wolfram’s work in particle physics, cosmology and computer science earned him one of the first MacArthur awards. His work with Geoffrey Fox on the theory of the strong interaction is still used today in experimental particle physics
