Certainly comparable on a per capita basis to most European countries. While there have been very outstanding Chinese and Indian mathemticians in the twentieth century the numbers have been far below European on a per capita basis.<br /><br />The contributions of Ashkenazi Jews to twentieth century mathematics have been extraordinary. It might be interesting in comparing scientific achievements between Europeans and East Asians to compare East Asians with non-Ashkenazi Europeans and Ashkenazi Europeans separately.<br /><br />I think that the personality differences mentioned here, conformity for example, play an important role but lumping Ashkenazi Europeans with non-Ashkenazi Europeans distorts the picture.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-73139703557465306112014-05-19T05:12:22.170+01:002014-05-19T05:12:22.170+01:00Isn't it merely due to the fact that they'...Isn't it merely due to the fact that they're not far enough down the pipeline yet? We'll know better about Koreans and Chinese in one generation from now. They finally have enough of an educated class is mostly just coming out of college now.

That's pretty terrible, too. Japanese have been getting Nobels since 1949, and with an accelerating pace recently. Japan Westernized before the rest of East Asia, so perhaps the Chinese and Koreans will start doing top-level research once they have developed a Western-style research infrastructure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-12911583846624774472014-04-28T14:19:27.787+01:002014-04-28T14:19:27.787+01:00Japanese scientists have done pretty well in terms...Japanese scientists have done pretty well in terms of Nobel prizes recently, with eleven winners since 2000.
