In China, competitive math teams are groomed and cosseted like college football squads. And in Vietnam, a television show called "Go to Olympia" tracks math contestants almost as if they were budding American Idols. So it's no surprise that when Pasadena City College's math team won a national contest this year, six of the members were Chinese-born and the other Vietnamese.
