I know what it's like being around someone this smart

and someone who is good at almost every subject he puts his mind to, and with a nearly photographic memory to boot. It's a bit daunting, sometimes, for while I am smart and educated in a variety of subjects, I'm just not in his league. Math probably kept him from being more formidable than he could be. If you married this boy's talent in mathematics with my friend's all around intellect--well, it would be truly amazing. This child seems to be a math savant. I'd be interested in what he achieves as he grows older.
