considered the most difficult course in mathematics
involving real and complex analysis and abstract algebra
taught at Harvard
drop out rate around 50%
it is said that taking the course is like a full time job with 40-60 hours of homework per week
no double majors if you take math 55
I read, don't know if it's true, that if you pass the course and graduate, you must work for the government because you would be considered to dangerous to work in the private sector
Bill Gates took and passed the course but dropped out of Harvard
when I read this, my admiration for Gates went sky high
any thought?

Always respected him anyway and that he dropped out to persue his goal. Of the two PC pioneers think Jobs’ record indicates a more visionary and innovative business mind, but Gates has the bigger intellect I would think. Not sure I like or respect Zuc the other supper rich Harvard drop out, very much.
I've taken real analysis and abstract algebra. When you are used to applied math like differential equations, these courses can bend your mind, at first. And I can only imagine what 55 is like.
The three tech innovators that changed the world forever, Gates, Jobs, and Zuckerberg, all dropped out of university, two from Harvard.
