Song Yoo-geun at the age of 8 became Korea
's youngest university student. In October 2005, he was accepted into Inha University
.
Song Yoo-geun left a prodigy school he attended in 2003 because it wasn't providing him a sufficient academic challenge. After six months of independent study, Yoo-geun was able to solve pre-calculus problems.
Yoo-geun during his interview with Inha University
, demonstrated that he has an understanding of the Schrödinger equation
, a partial differential equation
which is of central importance to quantum mechanics
theory.
Yoo-geun was offered an education by two of the most prestigious universities in Korea, namely the Pohang University of Science and Technology
and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. However his parents decided that Yoo-geun would be best off by attending his one-on-one lessons at the Inha University.

Quantum mechanics, also known as quantum physics or quantum theory, is a branch of physics providing a mathematical description of much of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interactions of energy and matter. It departs from classical mechanics primarily at the atomic and subatomic...
