That would be a rather silly measure of intelligence if the GM in question had never taken the class. I am a math geek myself, and yet I hold to what Will Rogers said: "Everybody's ignorant. Only in different areas."' Knowing how to solve ODE's won't make you a better chess player. Nor does it mean that you are smarter than someone who does not know how if you can solve it. There are less than 600 persons in the world with an ELO of over 2500. If these persons cannot make an acceptable living with such incredible excellence, that would be a sad thing.
