<p>Is there a basic mathematical relationship between IQ and learning speed? ... such as linear, exponential, etc?</p>

It's not a duplicate, wouldn't the answer be yes?, what other purpose does IQ serve? It's like asking if water effects rain. 

I am very clearly asking for the relationship between the two. I'm really thrown for a loop when people make these kinds of equivocations.

IQ was originally defined by expressing mental age as a percentage of chronological age, which is close to what you have in mind (although learning isn't the same thing as general cognitive ability). However, the modern deviation-based definition doesn't have that feature.
