American students are so bad at math that they can produce so many mathematicians because they study math to solve problems. They don't use formulas to prove formulas, but apply methods to real life. Let me compare developing countries with developed countries first. I'm not sure which countries are foreign. Generally speaking, the main problem of developing countries is that only with the economic foundation of survival can they have further innovation and development. There will be a group of talented scientists. There are also geniuses among these scientists. Generally speaking, research efforts and talents are rare.

However, history always emphasizes those who are talented and ignores those who work hard. The sentence that foreigners are not good at math is vague or can't stand the test at all. I guess I'm the only one who heard of it from my neighbor's aunt. Although China still has a long way to go from developed countries, China culture has always advocated knowledge, especially in the decades of reform and opening up. Our efforts in mathematics, physics and chemistry are inferior to those of other developed countries.

However, our compulsory or higher education is very cheap. The educational model is mechanized exam-oriented memory education. On average, people's knowledge level has been relatively improved, but there is still a long way to go to train people in a certain subject (such as mathematics). Public education and private education in developed countries are clearly separated. You can choose what kind of education you receive. You can help each other in public education, or you can go to elite education to maximize your interest and make contributions to mankind.

Therefore, the so-called foreigners' poor mathematics refers to the poor mathematics education of the public, which is not important to the public. However, developed countries can provide a better resource platform for students who love mathematics than China, without worrying about their livelihood. Every student is more likely to become a mathematician. The contributions of these mathematicians were finally emasculated by China textbooks.
