yes, many actually. Terry Tao is a prominent example. note that the IMO competition starts only in recent history so before you say but muh Newton, Gauss, Euler... you should end yourself for being a retard.

Europe as a whole still dominates. The EU only has ~500 million people and totaling their awards we get 6 Golds, 25 silvers and 8 Bronze medals, which is ~7x more total awards than the United States with a nearly comparable population of 350 million, and also ~7x that of China, with a population of 1.4 Billion! If I included the European States without EU membership, these figures would be even more drastic. Cope, seethe, dialate, etc...

>>16289798
are you fucking retarded? the reason why Europe is overrepresented is because there are so many smaller countries inside Europe with small population which hugely inflate the numbers of constestants from Europe. meanwhile China and USA are almost two continents but only allowed 6 constestant each. imagine US and China both get 60-100 contestants like Europe instead of their usually 6.
my god stop bragging about Europe supposed "superiority" in numbers when you're so dumb that don't even understand basic logic.
luckily the higher up people are not as stupid as you so they're starting to treat china provincial mathematic olympiad similarly to IMO in university admission in recent years.

No they didn't, the statement is patently false. There were dozens of other significant empires with comparable scale to that of the Chinese for the entire length of its existence. In no meaningful sense did it have "domination over the entire world." I don't even need to make a list because it's a nonstarter. Furthermore, as far as GDP concerns, on a per capita basis Europe was comparable with China throughout the Roman period, and once again by the High Middle ages. Beyond this, a number of European principalities, particularly those in Italy and later in central Europe were throughout the entire post Roman period also major economies comparable to those of China. Even ignoring all of this, a number of China's most successful periods were defined literally by a racially foreign caste of conquerors, who did not consider themselves Chinese, and considered the Chinese to be a subject inferior class. For such examples you may look at the Yuan period, or Quing. In the latter case, the foreign Manchu conquerors were responsible for China's contemporary borders, which no historical Chinese state previously had included, excluding the Yuan in which the Chinese were again subject to a foreign warrior caste. I don't deny China has a rich history but the issue is that OP has a massive chip on his shoulder probably as a second gen Chinese American, likely for very petty reasons relating to his dating opportunities and is looking for some way he can justify an abstract racial superiority. It was evident in his first post and I exposed him immediately after.

Not really. Asians tend to think faster but not deeper, which is great for the IMO, timed IQ tests, etc., but not so much for conquering a real math problem. A similar thing happens in chess: the best speed player, Hikaru, has Asian blood.

A nation is an abstract notion. They can appear and disappear in the blink of an eye. And even if it they live and work in the same nation you live and work in, there's absolutely no reason for you to assume that their knowledge is put to good use or that you stand to benefit from it in any way.
I ignore here the issue that all three groups, Chinese, Indian, Jews, are known to collaborate closely with the nations they emigrated from. Techflow, (corporate secrets, undisclosed discoveries, new technologies) from the USA to China is largely mitigated by Chinese immigrants, for example. Everyone knows that.
>do you seethe this much when black athletes bring home olympic medals too?
I don't care about sports. And even if I did, why would I specifically feel pride over somebody's else achievement, especially if that person is in no way connected or related to me? Should I feel pride over an Aethiopian winning the chess tournament?

If you live in the US, chances are you've benefited tremendously from immigration. That doesn't mean all immigration is beneficial, but done right it absolutely benefits the country. The US winning medals in competitions is just a side effect of the economic power that comes from absorbing talented immigrants from all over the world.

nta but yeah, being the place where talents want to go to is absolutely beneficial. The downside is, of course, undesirables and malicious people want to go to your country too. People holding close ties to their homeland even after emigrating could be an issue too if their homeland is hostile to the host nation.

The Putnam exam was much different and significantly easier (with much more crossover between math/physics knowledge) when Feynman took it. You don't see physicists dominating on the Putnam exam anymore.
