| Nov 15, 2023 at 15:46 | comment | added | Gerald Edgar | I would expect top olympiad participants or Putnam fellows also to do exceptionally well if they choose undergraduate math ... But sometimes they choose other fields (computer science, medicine, law...) (example: Feynman chose physics) and also do exceptionally well. Were there any olympiad champs who flunked out of math? Probably, but we don't hear of them. | |

| Nov 14, 2023 at 8:49 | comment | added | Dave L Renfro | Somewhat relevant: Why are the contents of contest maths so different from contents of degree-level maths? AND Learn university maths or train for high school competitions: which is better? AND Are high-school contest problems "harder" than college mathematics? AND Is high school contest math useful after high school? (continued) | |
