Abstract
The concept of mathematical abilities is not something that is frequently discussed. At the personal level, however, almost every mathematician and mathematical educator has relatively firm views on the subject. In this document, we summarise less disputed aspects of the highly complex phenomenon and some of its immediate implication for the educational policy.
