math prodigy

Young calculation whiz

A math prodigy is a young person who displays exceptional mathematical ability far beyond what's typical for their age.

The term implies innate talent rather than mere hard work: She was a math prodigy who solved calculus problems at age eight.

Prodigies often attract attention for their precocious achievements, though the label can create pressure and unrealistic expectations.
