In countries like Nepal, mathematics is mainly studied to pass exams, but Évariste Galois redefined modern mathematics before his death at 20 in 1832. I highly recommend reading this article.

By focusing on relationships between solutions to polynomial equations, rather than the exact solutions themselves, Évariste Galois changed the course of modern mathematics.

China was already scoring wins in its rivalry with the U.S. for scientific talent. Now, under President Trump, cuts to research funding, attacks on top universities, and visa crackdowns—especially targeting Chinese students in “critical fields”—are accelerating that shift.
China Really Wants to Attract Talented Scientists. Trump Just Helped.
Even before the U.S. threatened to bar international students and besieged universities, China’s huge spending campaign on the sciences was bearing fruit.
