<p>Has anyone hear heard of the legend?</p>

<p>I had a friend tell me about it. Supposedly it's one of the hardest math courses on the planet and only 10-15 people take it each year. Is it true? I'd really like to know because I'm very interested in math.</p>

<p>It is a tough, rigorous math class...</p>

<p>I heard the lecture isn't that bad, but the problems can be very difficult. Also, I heard that people with established proof skills do pretty well in the class, but, then again, very talented students take the class.</p>

<p>Exactly.</p>

<p>My brother was a fairly strong math student (i.e. USAMO qualifier in grades 10-12, all sorts of other math awards), but he said that the kids at Harvard that took Math 55 were a yet a notch higher.</p>
