No, you are absolutely right. It was a joke. A weak one, I admit.Pinu7 said:I won't count research facilities "schools."
The purpose of these schools is to provide a specialized and intensive education in mathematics, with the goal of producing students who are highly skilled in this subject.
Schools focused on teaching mathematics have a curriculum that is solely focused on mathematics, with little to no emphasis on other subjects. They also typically have smaller class sizes and more specialized teachers.
No, while these schools do cater to students who show a strong aptitude for math, they also welcome students who may not be as advanced but have a strong interest in the subject and are willing to work hard to improve.
These schools provide students with a strong foundation in mathematics, which is a highly sought-after skill in many industries such as engineering, finance, and technology. They also teach critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are applicable in any career.
Some potential drawbacks include a lack of exposure to other subjects and a potential imbalance in a student's education. Additionally, these schools may have a more intense and rigorous curriculum, which can be overwhelming for some students.
