I can confirm you that the discrete math course I took at UCLA (math 61) is just the repetition of the math I learned in 4th grade back in China.

‘Are You Smarter Than a Chinese 5th Grader?’ Already love the concept

"Am I dumb?" — every average engineering student ever
@kbl5007
if this is the level of a top 5th grader, it’s hard to imagine how smart those top students in tsinghua or peking uni
@jojo4061
In China, there are a few kids like him in every class. Many students who don’t do well in their studies go to the United States to avoid competition.

engineer: learned to solve in steps and show his work kid: s o l v e.
@Saanveess
So the logical and memtal abilities of the 5th grader is INSANE ! as a 9th grader (india) yes the questions were really easy , BUT FOR A 5TH GRADER ?! hats off to the little man , je has a bright future !
@anniec0404
I like how the 5th grader uses logic for the last question, but in America they require us to “show your work” which is super annoying.

people give Sheldon a break 😂 he actually did well, i've seen much worse after graduation
@wenxuanWu-ps5ii
Chinese people here. This knowledge is actually taught in extracurricular competition classes in primary school, but as an ordinary kid who has never attended those classes, there’s no way I can solve these problems. 🤣
@Hansooyoung905
You have gained my respect for graduating from Waterloo and living to tell the tale
@tylitie1659
I love that xian xian didn't bother with showing his working, just solved the questions with basic deductive skills lol
@timothychung4811
That child articulated, and illustrated like a professor. Fluid, clear, assured and confident. Dear goodness... I'm intimidated 😆.

Fun Fact: The Final question is the question that led to the invention of calculus. Greeks trying to understand circles and their properties led to the discovery of concepts like imaginary numbers, and that started a chain of discoveries that would end up with calculus.

13:34 Oh, the "chicken-and-rabbit problem". NO WAY HAHAHHAA
@CantoMando
QUICK CLARIFICATION on question 8 - this question was taken out of a Chinese school book and upon editing I realized it was completely lost in translation. In all three cases the moon should appear so the really question made no sense- SORRY GUYS!!!

Study in a high ranking university ❌ Study in China elementary school✅
@ladyclovenstone
I love they are taught the foundations of maths and work anything with this principles. True understanding and a powerful tool.
