But do math parents always produce gifted in math kids?

Certainly not. My father is very gifted in math. I am definitely not. None of his children are gifted in math, actually. I don't think any of us even took calculus.

We actually have extreme, prodigy-level math talent in the extended family (more than one person). I think my father is still hoping those genes will pop up again. (We'll see.)
