I've seen that many Israelis are excellent at math and the sciences, particularly in mathematical sciences such as inorganic chemistry and physics. I have some Israeli friends who are brilliant engineers and doctors. I've heard that Israel publishes the most scientific papers per person than any other country in the world and Israel has the most physicists for its size than any other country. How are these guys so smart? Is it since they are Jewish, the education system is so good, or is it both?

Its called Education and hard work to excel. Add the fact that Israel is a small country with enemys on all sides they work extra hard to lift themselves and their country up to compete with the nations of the world.
Last but not least--The people of the book have been treated poorly for ages (and thats putting it mildly).
Long ago they learned that just surviving wasnt enough--they wanted and do thrive to reach their full potential.
Many of us could learn from this mind set and many other groups of people have!

Israelis excel in these areas for the same reason other individuals excel. Lots of hard work. Being Jewish may be a factor. We are known as the "People of the Book". That specifically refers to the Bible of course, but has been carried over to secular studies as well. Jews have long valued & encouraged scholarship. Education has become an important part of Jewish culture. The same can be seen in East Asian cultures as well.
