It figures: after completing year 12 subjects at 10, mathematician Yao-ban Chan has now become Melbourne University’s youngest-ever PhD graduate.
WHEN he was 10, while his peers swung from monkey bars and charged around with rugby balls, Yao-ban Chan sat year 12 exams in statistics and calculus. He scored 91 and 90.
It is such a mind-boggling accomplishment that it almost makes his latest achievement seem commonplace.
Over the past six months we have been trialling a Year 11 level Chemistry class with David Baker with great success.
We are looking to start up a second group of 10 students and would like to hear from any interested young people.
It is recommended that the students would be aged 12+, interested in chemistry and feel reasonably comfortable reading, writing and using a calculator.
Please send an email to science@home-ed.vic.edu.au if you are interested.
