Wow! I suppose most reasonably astute observers could possibly agree that the average math major at MIT might be somewhat more intelligent than the average math major at UIC. However, to state that “The average math major at MIT would be much more intelligent than the smartest math major at UIC” verges on the ludicrous. @YunSyed, I suspect this is simply unsubstantiated garbage on your part; however, I’d certainly be interested in any authoritative FACTS that document your assertion.
Furthermore, intelligence obviously is a GREAT deal more than mathematical acumen. The English Literature major may well be blessed with greater intelligence than the math prodigy.
