I removed the prod. Richard Ruscsyk is definitely notable in the world of math education; I found his AoPS quite useful and inspiring when teaching math in an enrichment academy last year. His basic approach to talented students is different from the conventional one of giving them the same material but more quickly ("accelerated courses"), and, I think, much more sound. Dumbed-down material delivered at twice the normal rate is still dumb. Ruscsyk instead engages talented students with truly more difficult material by encouraging them to participate in competitive math contests. This approach seems to be gaining popularity, and as far as I have been able to tell, Richard Ruscsyk is its leading exponent.--OinkOink 17:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
