infonubia: People, we've got a genius!

Carson Huey-You, an 11-year-old is among the new class of undergrads at Texas Christian University – adjusting to college life, finding the right buildings, settling in for those easy core classes.

Around the time when most kids are playing with jacks and baseball cards, young Huey-You will be taking university-level courses among teenagers and young adults. And it won't just be any class load. The boy, who scored a 1770 on his SAT, speaks Mandarin Chinese and plays the piano, will be studying nothing less than quantum physics.

His mom, Claretta, says her son had intense focus as an infant. By the age of one, he could read. By five, he was doing pre-algebra. Calculus, he says, relaxes him.

If he graduates as his parents expect, in four to five years, Carson will have a college diploma before or at the same time he gets his driver’s license.

What were you doing at 11? I was in secondary school - FGC Kano, hiding from those wicked seniors..lol

And to think Nigerian universities will specifically spell it out in their post utme advert that "candidate must have attained 16years of age before September 20"...most Nigerian universities are guilty of this.. By the way, at 11 I was in jss 1...as calculus relaxing him,Chai! I scored 42(E) in that course in 100level after burning so many candles and refusing to sleep(before u call me olodo, only 10 people passed it in my dept and I was one of them)

keep on deceiving yourself! SAT exams is by far more logical than our Jamb exams. Try out their Critical Reading section and you will know what's up.

am sure its not his dad thats pushing hard . another bad side is his ability to handle reality . people like him end up turning a sadistic and making society wish he never exist. another is having brain tumor and later in life develop amnesia . please,don't hate me,am only exploring the negative side of this good news. its good thing ,but sometimes,guy be grateful that you are retarded,you may pass 102 years un noticed rather than 45 years and scandalized . sarcasm.lol

ARareGem:

Guy, talk true- how many times JAMB jam you? grin

You got jokes. During my days, no one scored anything close to 300. I wrote jamb twice. Once in ss2 and once in ss3. Jamb didn't show me. My score wasn't super high but was enough to gain admission for medicine/engr without connections. The kid may be smart but then again SAT only tests your verbal and quantitative reasoning. There are a bunch of African kids that will score close to what this kid had in SAT. Unless he took the subject test SAT, I won't give it much weight. I aint trying to shit on the child, i'm just saying. The kid is smart, YES, I just needed to point out that SAT does not measure nada

That you find reading difficult does not make it difficult for every one. Na me say make you go dey play table soccer when all your friends they read novels when dem dey young? No need to argue. JAMB is harder than SAT. Everyone knows this. SAT wey people dey tear like pure water.

we were taught in our EDU 203 about 'gifted children' but i still do not believe any of those things.

I mean: for a child to be able to read, he first needs to know the 26 letters in the english alphabet. He cannot do this if he cannot

1. Identify shapes and differentiate one from the other. Letters are basically shapes.

2. Sound distinct syllable so as to say something coherent and understandable

i do not think a child, no matter the genius in him, can do the two above before the age one.

Before he could read, he also should be able to put two or three alphabets together to form words and also be a able to pronounce them. A child CANT read before the age of 1

It's been so long since we've had a positive news on FP. Maybe the young chap would turn out to be the next Steve Hawkins and help unlock the mystery surrounding our galaxy/universe.

MODS, this is the kind of information needed to be displayed on the frontpage.

Even Schrödinger and Heisenberg would roll in their grave.We were cracking our head in school at what age trying to understand wave functions and this boy is doing it at an age his mates are still getting bullied.#smiles# Kudos to him.

He's a genius. @ age 11 I was in JSS2, am the genius of my family too. But I don't relax with mathematics, I cry when I see them.....
Re: 11-year-old Boy Admitted To The University To Study Quantum Physics by Nobody: 8:00pm On Aug 31, 2013
This boy is nothing but a 'wizard'! Quantum Physics is arguably the toughest branch of Physics. The course gave me nightmares because it is way too abstract. Ket,Bra, Perturbation Theory, Eigenstates and values, particle in a box,WKB method..the list is endless.

It's all theory! Trust me I started reading at age one.
