Remarkable 16 Year Old Math Prodigy Teaches at MSU
Edith Stern a Florida born 16 year old prodigy heads the trig class for freshmen at Michigan State University. She has an IQ reported between 154 and 200 depending on the test and studies mathematics with a graduate assistantship to help cover costs. She credits classical music training from infancy and an early start in reading and drawing with her focus. Edith aims to lose more weight to fit expensive dresses and notes she is a fat child by her own words. Her father Aaron pushed for nurturing her genius while public schools resisted moving her to junior college, a legal battle that ended in her favor. Edith says she remains unsure about whether genius is innate or born of experience. She reads science fiction and follows Star Trek, with interests spanning classical and popular music. She has two younger geniuses nearby in Michael Grost and Norman Plantnik.
