Smartest Professor Ever
Feb 12
Recently, there has been a small debate as to who is “the smartest professor ever”. A simple search query in any search engine reveals many ideal candidates; each one incorporates high levels of education, long lists of valid credentials, and a general collaboration of being smart.
