How can an extremely mathematically talented young person be helped to fulfill his/her potential?
@AthanagorWurlitzer Indeed, there is no rush as far as I like to see the situation. But, not many people do think so. And indeed, I try to keep him "safe". Thus, I advised his father to keep him away of the media, and also not let him to work on Goldbach's conjecture!

@WillieWong Dear Willie. Though the languge would be a barrier at this case, from the time that I asked the question I have found a group of people who may help, and we solve the problem with the language if we know how we can solve the main problem.

@AthanagorWurlitzer The program seems to be based on Gelfand's books:Functions and Graphs, Method of Coordinate, Algebra, Trigonometry, and I meant exactly the same books. But, to give you a better idea of the situation, I shall add that the student I am talking about studies "foundation of mathematics" and "number theory" at the moment!

@AthanagorWurlitzer Fortunately, his books have been translated into Persian.

@Olivier Dear Olivier. No worry. Thanks that you were kind enough to explain your reason to vote to close. I'm just hopoing that some MO people gone through some professional help when they were 11 years old, or they know what such help might be. I hope that those people contact me directly

@Flav I get your point about programming and I am quite in agreement with you about "the complexity of ancient maths". But, he is well aware of some tools of "new maths" that is way beyound his age. That is why I doubt history works in his case.

@Flav History, for what he knows. I don't also know how learning programming might help him.

@Flav I doubt it works. He was fluently working with complex numbers algebraically. And when I challenged him with a problme in complex plane he came up with the geometric interpretation of multiplication of those numbers!

Is “problem solving” a subject to be taught?
Dear Franz. If you have access to one of those book, it would be very informative to give one example. Do the strategies introduced have a title? Is the format something like this: title: draw a picture; examples...
