Hypothetically if you had the best resources available and say 1000 years could you teach someone with a very low IQ higher level math?

How low are we talking ?

Just above retarded let's say.
What's your definition of 'low-level intelligent'
I meant you can spend 1 million years talking to a clam and you're not going to teach arithmetic to a clam or have any meaningful conversation really.
If you talk about Tom from the meat packing plant, there is no reason you wouldn't be able to able to other then a mutual lack of inclination.

Ok let us say that we have a borderline retarded person , so their iq level would be around 75.
I'd go to as far to say that about 115 is the limit to where people can understand elementary mathematical principles (ie, linear algebra, calculus, differential equations).
So being that low on the spectrum, even though IQ at higher levels rarely considered a good indication of actual intelligence. Considering our subject is devastatingly low, i highly doubt that he/she will ever conceptually grasp higher level math even at that large amount of time.
But id say that they could memorize solutions to problems and copy and paste the techniques?
This is just my opinion, its a fairly interesting conversion.

No then.

If this is bait then good job, you had me going.

Do you suggest that a lower IQ to fully understand conceptual concepts behind those principles?
>>8550689
interesting answer thanks

I've known plenty of dummies who knew calculus, it's not that much of a stretch from baby algebra. I'd say that the jump from arithmetic to algebra is a bigger hurdle than algebra to calculus. The basic concepts aren't exactly mind-blowing.
