Where did they study ? (real question here, because USA is really good at attracting brilliant people from everywhere).
- omaranto 7y agoWell, as you might expect, many successful American mathematicians studied at top American universities such as Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Chicago, Michigan, etc. (Not sure if your were expecting a significantly different answer.)
- devnulloverflow 7y agoIt's a pretty common pattern for brilliant people to do a PhD in the Ivy league while having done undergrad in some other country entirely. Not sure if that is less or more common than having done undergrad at an Ivy and/or some other US university.
- baby 7y agoTo add to this, foreign students coming to do math in the US have a huge advance compared to other students (due to their educating system being more advanced), and are thus prone to continue over achieving.
