Why is France so strong in math? They don't seem to be as dominating in any other field but in math frogs really punch above their weight. >inb4 grand écoles They could produce top tire people in other fields as well. Is it just that they've had a math tradition for some centuries now?

I remember back in 2022 that Oinkranian rapefugees complained that math courses were a lot easier in the France than in the Ukraine. They said it was like that so niggers and mohammeds could catch up due to their undeveloped brains

It's true. A lot of the great mathematicians of yore were French. Galois is my personal favourite from the Hexagon. He and Ramanujan are my favourite of all time; they both had very interesting lives. t. masters maffs

>>25593420 That doesn't mean much, they could very well just place the ukrainians in nigger classes/schools, in universities for example there is very obvious segregation in the French system. For examples in another country you can check the US as well, a public school in a nigger neighborhood is completely different from a school in a decent white neighborhood, let alone if you consider charter, magnet and private schools. >>25593501 What I find peculiar is that usually skill in math is accompanied by excelling in correlate fields like physics, yet France isn't as relevant in those as it is in math.

>>25593652 I don't think that's true. Amps, Becquerels, Columbs are some French names in physics that I can pull from the top of my head. Each of the great European nations has their own quirks and peculiarities. The sort of running joke in Britain about our countless list of inventors is that their wives were so ugly and the weather is so shit that there was nothing better to do than invent contraptions in the tiny shed out in the garden to get away from it all. And the French have 5 varieties of cheese per square kilometre. I'm sure some of these legendary French mathematicians dabbled in the national sport of inventing new types of mouldy milk products.

>>25593380 The answer is the grandes écoles system. We produce top tier people in other fields just fine. The problem is that nobel prizes are usually awarded to groups of people, not individuals. There's always a frenchman in these groups of people but you wouldn't be aware of it because it's not like it's publicized very much. Math is more about the individual, fields medal winners are single individuals after all. So it's easier to hear about top mathematicians than about top physicists or chemists.

>>25594033 I looked for past entrance exams of the polytechnique to gauge how hard it is but couldn't find any, are they not posted online?

>>25596678 The exam to enter polytechnique is the X-ENS exam which as the name implies encompasses polytechnique and ENS. you can find it here https://astucesweb.fr/cpge/annales/xens/

>>25594033 On a related note I just read a post by a HEC alum on reddit and he said indians are the most common nationality at 30%+ It feels like Latin America is the last place on Earth that hasn't been swamped with pajeets >>25596708 Thank you

>>25596743 Polytechnique is more of a moroccan thing, but they work very very hard to get there so it's somewhat deserved. I'm not surprised there are many jeets at HEC, indians are good at doing exams (not necessarily working afterwards though) and rich parents want to send their kids to a less shit country. But other than that I haven't noticed many jeets in daily life overall, just second generation african browns

>so strong in math? they literally gimped themselves with a very stupid math reform that took like two decades and has fucked over mathematics all over the world

>>25596817 It is. The prépa in Morocco is very old-school, extremely challenging, so they always have quite a few students who manage to get into X. >>25596839 Yeah but they still have the grandes écoles which allow the top students to excel. As long as you were in a decent high school you had access to good math education in the form of optional clubs and classes.

>>25596917 HEC is not an engineering school, it's a business school. It's retarded to compare them. HEC is the top business school, X is the top engineering school, that's about it.

>>25596708 Btw any idea if there's something similar in Germany (and other euro countries)? I know they have some "special" schools like the one Lisa Sauermann attended in Dresden but idk if it is as standardized as the grand écoles and if there's admission tests publically available. Figured it's relatively on topic so might as well ask
