Excuse me, that's not mathematics in the Soviet Union. That's mathematics in elementary education everywhere, doesn't matter if it's the Soviet Union, China or the US. Had he stayed till the college level, things would've changed to a more "creative approach", because exploration of knowledge at that level is the same everywhere. Please show some respect.

@mykhailos6 What do you mean not because of what I said? That's not how mathematics is taught in Soviet Universities, some of the world greatest mathematicians right now comes from that system, which teaches people way more than what he's describing. Please show some respect. The universal seeking of knowledge is bigger than your petty prejudice.

@mykhailos6 No, but the title is wrong. What he was describing is mathematics in elementary education

@mykhailos6 Not really. Because of discrimination, he couldn't get into the nation actual math school where they do mathematical research, but he got into some sort of an industrial college that focuses more on engineering. So actually speaking, he never studied math at the highest level in the Soviet Union. Like I said, show some respect, homie. Countless Soviet mathematicians have made tremendous contributions to the world, and this one guy, no matter how famous he is can not and is not qualified enough to discredit those people. Please, show some respect.
