Reminds me of a 16 yr old girl who won a bronze medal at the Australian Physics Olympiad and went on to represent Australia.
I gave her my Uni books on GR and Particle Physics. These books required a fairly sophisticated knowledge of mathematics but it proved no obstacle for her. An amazing intellect but I wonder how she relates to her peers.
