If I'm not mistaken Ramanujan received a PhD at the age of 29. Sure, he came from a non-traditional background, and did some amazing math before his PhD. However, it was only after he studied at University that his writing was clear enough to be published. That of course makes the parent post's point fairly well.
- hellameta 11y agoNo. It doesn't. It was my error. I just need to switch out Ramanujan so you don't trip up on the small stuff. The point stands.
- nl 11y agoA better example might be Subramanyan Chandrasekhar, who won the 1983 Nobel Prize for work he did at 19 (prior to the commencement of his PhD program). Ironically apparently he was quite upset about this.
- knughit 11y agoWhat if ramanijam was a CS scholar? you would refuse Ramanujan access to this data until after he got into a school program which he would not be able to do without access to this data.
