I don’t know… the French are pretty damned amazing when it comes to what would you call it, topological mathematics… many of the best 3D modeling and visualization methods came out of the University of Nancy, France. Many Russians I have worked with were pretty brilliant mathematically, too.
Comparing Chinese kids vs English… hmmm… unfair. English would be sucking wind versus French or Russians, too. Chinese vs Americans, aw, throw in the towel. First round knock-out.
So true!
We lived in Taipei, across the street from the Wu Shin Primary School. Wife was a special ed teacher in the US, and was given tours. She was astounded at the math classes for young students.
It looked like somewhere between 2/3rds and 3/4th (probably closer to the later) of PhD graduates were international. More than half of MSE graduates were. A less, but still significant number of BSE gradustes were international.
I do know their tuition is more expensive, but I think scholarships may still be available.
Arizona State University’s Ira A Fulton School of Engineering is highly ranked…some of the degrees are Top Tier.
Find contentment. Don’t try chasing after happiness, it’s elusive.
