I co-authored a published mathematics paper on knot theory[1]
and wrote software that did the computations (and generated diagrams) in that paper as a Math undergrad, and I don't consider myself
elite (though I did went on to get a PhD).
It seems like you have a very low bar for "elite", a very limited definition of "math", and a very peculiar one of "better at".
