And if you are 14, what is this doing in your profile:
"I am a dedicated chess player and I have been playing since I was seven years old. I am a lover of maths and science and I love to learn. I also enjoy music, both playing it and listening to it, and I love reading. It is my ambition to one day work for the CSIRO, after I have done my bachelor of science with honors (BSc (Hons)) and a PhD at Melbourne University."
Originally posted by Balla88I don't see anything wrong with his profile, how would any of that indicate that he isn't 14?

I guess I was unclear. I was specifically refering to his "love of math and science." As someone who has also always felt that way, it seems to me an emplty sentiment if he/she doesn't even know the pythagorian theorem at 14. I consider it pretty ignorant to have Pythagoras as a username and yet have no idea of his theories.

I am only 14 years old by the way so am I supposed to know all these complicated mathematical things? For my age I'm really good at maths. I topped my class all year last year.

Originally posted by prosoccerWell I hardly think it's my fault if my teachers have been neglegent. If this is any compensation, I know all about Einstein's theory of relativety, and I understand it too. I did a speech on it at school once.

Originally posted by prosoccerMaths is short for mathematics (plural). In the UK it is normally referred to as maths, and the US referred to as math. I would say maths makes more sense.

Yes well it's natural that a 14 year old would understand Einstein's Theory of Relativity and his Field Equations, but not the Pythagorean Theorem. I guess your teachers decided to skip geometry and trignonometry and jump straight into partial differential equations. Very curious indeed.
Originally posted by Balla88It's possible. She may have a sincere interest in astrophysics, and done a bit of research. The pythagorean theorem is taught in school, so naturally, it's not of interest to students.
