Brooklyn College was thrilled to welcome 11-year-old Suborno Isaac Bari for the fall 2023 semester. The young math and science wiz is taking two mathematics courses—Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra—as well as a computer science course, Python Coding. At age 4, Suborno received recognition from then-President Barack Obama for his accomplishments in math and science. At age 6, he was recognized by Harvard University for his problem-solving abilities and was accepted into New York City’s gifted and talented program. At just 10 years old, Suborno scored 1500 on his SAT and is the world’s youngest perfect scorer in AP Calculus BC. He is a Laureate at the Da Vinci Institute, a Ph.D.-granting institution in South Africa, and is also affiliated with all 21 Indian Schools in Oman. Suborno is the author of two books, The Love and Manish, both of which advocate for a world without terrorism. Suborno is currently a 12th grader at Malverne High School, a visiting graduate student at Stony Brook University, and a CMT Scholar at NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He has applied to Columbia University for early decision. He also applied to all Ivy League schools as well as MIT, Stanford, and Caltech. Brooklyn College President Michelle J. Anderson sat down with Suborno to discuss his experiences on campus, his appreciation of the iconic Lily Pond, and what he would like to do in the future.
