:::: Our entry has numerous examples of great mathematicians who were homeschooled.  Have you even read it yet???

:::: For all the bluster by critics, we are down to only four great mathematicians who may not have been homeschooled:  Leibnitz, Laplace, Gauss and Descartes.  But even your description of those four are not persuasive, and raise more questions than they answer.  By age 7 or 8, great mathematicians are often quite a bit along already in their skills.  And what did these four mathematicians do after they entered school?  Laplace, for example, was apparently taught mathematics in a special way by his uncle in connection with the school.
