<p>That is the most ******** post I have ever read. You can’t expect someone who is just starting Calc (and receiving an A+ btw) to be able to do those yet, Ilikeyou. Plenty of people from my school have become math majors at VERY prestigious colleges and succeeded with mere Calc AB as their highest class in HS.</p>
<p>A few courses are you going to do that? Yes, you will have a couple courses, especially something like Analysis, where you will be forced to do that. But the catch - that’s a 5th semester class!!! Definitely not something you are expected to be able to do in Calc I.</p>
<p>^^ To be perfectly honest… I can do those in about 2 hours.</p>
<p>Actually… I tried… Add about 2 more hours to that. If that was the only thing I’m focusing on.</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s a fallacy. That’ll take Way more time.</p>
<p>ok mit you’ve gone too far. **** man. you can do graduate abstract algebra? bull****.</p>
<p>lol analysis and algebra is what a math major is. not just a “couple of classes”. calc I, II, III are not remotely close to what math majors do.</p>
<p>No…it’s just a couple of classes if you look at a major requirements list.</p>
<p>^If I zoom out a lot, it looks like -_-</p>

<p>Sorry. What I meant by USAMO Qualifier=Genius is that you’re super smart if you qualify for the USAMO. Granted, AIME qualification is very impressive and says you are extremely smart, but genius would be like at least 6 on AIME.</p>
<p>It must be noted that plenty of Fields Medalist didn’t participate in IMO or anything as such. They may not be a well known talent at math in high school with accolades on their side (award wise), but they progressed at an astonishing pace at college and with the right mentor, they became successful.</p>
<p>I am a graduate student in Mathematics and Computational Science and I beg all of you math “geniuses” not to pursue a PhD for the sole reason of teaching. You are ALWAYS the worst teachers. Do it for research but please stay out of the classroom.</p>
<p>^****, man, talk about trying to keep god out of the classroom.</p>
<p>This actually got me thinking… Math majors start out doing MVC, how much non “lung-n-chug” stuff do they do in undergrad? I frankly don’t know… I suppose it does depend on where you are going to school though, I’d steer clear of math at Harvard, Caltech or MIT unless you are talented at math whereas at other schools (ones that don’t attract hardcore math folks e.g. Yale) it’d probably be easier.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be a math major unless you are good at it or interested enough to study a lot and become good at it.</p>
