[classycynic1]

yes, of course, Asians have the highest IQs because - well, just apply MATH - there are just SO DAMN MANY OF THEM.

[SamuelConcepcion]

Go Asians! Asians have the highest IQ of all the races! Take that whiteys!

[hvutrong]

@SamuelConcepcion I'm asian and a math grad student too but your comment is just lame.

[SamuelConcepcion]

@hvutrong You are just trying to appear "nice" and "modest" here on youtube. I suggest that you just shut the fuck up.

[hvutrong]

@SamuelConcepcion just to remind that most of important theorems in mathematics up to now didn't come from Asians. Asia was way behind in math until the 20th century. There are very smart asians as well as stupid asians, probably like you.

[SamuelConcepcion]

@hvutrong Wow, you are so ignorant about math, your very own field! Centuries before European mathematicians discovered "their" theories, ancient, nameless mathematicians from India, middle East and China were doing calculus and advanced number theory. The European versions just got preserved and popularized because they invented printing. The WEST stole from the EAST.

[elchippe]

@hvutrong In fact many mathematic theorems where discover first in east Asian, India and the islamic world much before than in europe( trigonometrics, algebra, solving equations, pascal triangle, the gaussian elimination principle, number theory, ect) and there is prove about that , remenber europe was in the dark ages after the fall of rome so they lose the knowedge from the greeks, i recomend you The Story of Maths a bbc documentary about math. 

[ilovewathsala]

@hvutrong

you are a retard..Asians have always been far ahead of you guys

[hvutrong]

@ilovewathsala I'm Asian so stfu.

[HitMeQuick]

0.28 The Australian Mathematical Society. Ha!

"Er mate, you've forgotten to carry the one."

"Ah struth. Stuff it. I'm going to the RSL to suck on some piss."

[Dannnneh]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what song this is?

[tha1ne]

@Dannnneh kalaedascope of mathematics from the beautiful mind soundtrack

[Kingportable]

Why not have accelerated learning and provide for every children (who do not have)?

[alquiora]

@Kingportable not every kid is a genius

[dasteufelhund]

Princeton? Should've gone to MIT

[dawncoming]

@dasteufelhund I heard people speaking of Princeton as the best place for mathematics. MIT is best for engineering, perhaps?

[dasteufelhund]

@dawncoming it's not the school, but the professor(s) group you want.

[SamuelConcepcion]

@dasteufelhund No, he should have gone to Caltech..... it's #1!!!!!

[niguhfag]

Ching Chong, Ling Long, Ting Tong, Bing Bong!

[cyanideisabitterpill]

He is extraordinary, but to say the best ever is definitely a mistake. Richard Feynman was a genius of the highest caliber too.

[k28xl]

@cyanideisabitterpill Is Richard Feynman alive?

[jms8220]

him vs daniel tammet who would win?

[EltBerserker]

@jms8220 comparing apples and oranges dude

no such thing as "general intelligence"

[mrsexy8113261]

@jms8220 Daniel Tammet is a genius in memorizing numbers and letters and stunning fast calculations not in analyzing problems and solving them so Tao is more interressing I think..

[TAKAHA4kun]

@jms8220 these problems tao solves are not computation or memory type problems , but rather than that they require problem solving skills , creativity , the ability to make not obvious associations and notice not obvious things . These problems are what true intelligent people are able to do , problems that goes far beyond simple things like making calculations . If you wanna see what´s hard go to Google , and search for MATHLINKS , olympiad section . It will be worth it.

[glowingdarkmatter25]

a beautiful mind soundtrack , nothing compares to Nash....

[ienjoyapples]

tao is an excellent mathematician and really good problem solver. i dont think he's the best mathematician alive. ive heard him be compared to gauss..i just dont see it. the green-tao theorem is really cool, but has few implications. and thats probably his greatest contribution.

[singularku]

@ienjoyapples gauss was the all time greatest! tao is great but gauss? thats RIDICULOUS!

[cooldiponline]

can anybody plz. tell me what's name of the song playing in the background!

thanks!!!!

[behnamasid]

I like the background music.

[WavesOfTrolls]

Trevor Tao has a double degree in maths and music and will soon be featured in a book on autistic savants.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN HIM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[abutawnee]

Grigori Perelman is smarter.

[WavesOfTrolls]

@abutawnee he has an IQ of 230

the highest ever recorded

[woo216]

@WavesOfTrolls play runescape at runescape(dot)com

[esraretin]

everything is just chance .hes just lucky for his inteligence

[onaip80]

Putting the music from A beautiful Mind was a nice touch

[csfreak89]

yea

[Marphale]

It doesn't make sense that he was able to express himself more easily when he was a kid than he can now. He needs to break the fucking mould and be a cool mathematician rather than what he feels is expected of him.

[huslerbling]

lol his bro talks like a retard

[TheCockyCunts]

damn he's acting like genius but thats bullshit , waiting solving hodge's conjecture from him after that i will consider he's a man

[WavesOfTrolls]

@TheCockyCunts lol retard

[fuckmania07]

Most of asians are good at Math especially Chinese.

[EusebioPharezZerah]

@fuckmania07 this makes stereotyping so difficult....

[hvutrong]

@fuckmania07 4 fields medals of asians come from 3 Japanese and 1 Vietnamese

[csfreak89]

@fuckmania07 stereotype

[scottvska]

@csfreak89 With no basis in reality, right?

[TheCockyCunts]

WHat a gay background music shit ....

[camilus23]

@TheCockyCunts This is the music from A Beautiful Mind, have you seen that film? If you have, you would probably find it appropriate. Except for Terry's achievements, the music is the best part of this video!

[kenseisato1989]

we could creat super humans... the strongest mma fighters, super smart geniuses......

we would be another race

[snoopdogsballs]

''I like to show that Australians can excel in many things, not just in sport'', says the asian guy.

Proof that Australians are good for nothing but sports, and the rest are good for nothing but for watching sports and drinking beer.

[20c0260]

We better take genes of Russian mathematicians..

[diogenden]

@20c0260 ok I can help u with that and transfer my Russian mathematical genes to the beautiful girls of yours ^^

[Danuuushka]

How you became so smart?!

AHAHHAHAHAH....

[mfjeff]

anyone know the song that plays right at the beginning?

[maikolmaikolmaikol]

@mfjeff BSO A Beautiful Mind, quite accurate to this genious

[gatoradeee]

1 dislike...okay...

[hoplite46]

A beautiful mind should not be wasted

[wthiswrg]

hes so passionate abt math! wonderful man

[gnamp]

"Australians can excel in maths too"- well the japanese ones can anyway...

[zaxx19]

Nothing compared to Perelman./

Jews>Asians.

Lol....it isnt even close. 2 billion or so East Asians versus 9-10 million Askenazic Jews....man, kinda sad when you think about it.

[askfskpsk]

the guy with 220IQ

[kakashi1992e]

I totally agree with providing resources for gifted children...

When children are born, they are almost the same; the difference occurs due to discrepancies in education, wealth, societal status. We must cultivate the hidden potential in every child...

[hakissej]

Whats the song? that's in the background like ooh uuu ooh ~ (:

[phoneboothplus1]

@hakissej A track from the soundtrack of the movie "A Beautiful Mind".

[charcoalfilter1101]

Terry Tao = Mozart of Mathematics!

[Ryuuusa]

my god..phd at age 21??..

[malcolmbryant]

@Ryuuusa I think Jim Watson (DNA) had a PhD at 18. Norbert Wiener (Cybernetics) may have done too. Phenomenal anyway, all these people.

[sithXrebel]

grigori perelman

[dejaqwho]

Who cares about this media whore...Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman, now there is a man with pure honor and self respect.

[angela1894]

His younger brother Nigel is also pretty smart. Has a ratio IQ of 182. Works for Google Australia.

[rinwhr]

I wish that bitch would shut up.

[angela1894]

ManicMindTrick, Tao should not waste his time on M-Theory which is a false theory.

[angela1894]

I wish his brain would be studied.

[ManicMindTrick]

Why isnt this guy working with Witten in the field of M-theory?

[Pastafarealist]

@ManicMindTrick Different people have different interests. Maybe Tao isn't interested in applications of mathematics, but rather the beauty of mathematics itself.

[weisse007]

genius is not someone who is more smart than you, he just has a different perspective on things and at a great cost..

[JohnnyBoyCali]

Asians are so freakin smart. Thanks to Asians we all have so many cool gadgets.

[calfan3]

dang i wish i was as smart as him. unfortunately im only smarter than 78% of all SENIORS graduating in 2010. lol. hes a BEAST though

[solidysnake1]

we need to get a copy of his genes and put it somewhere safe.

[greeg02]

@solidysnake1 your kind of thought is the very one that is destroying the world.

[WavesOfTrolls]

@solidysnake1 it's not genetics, it's largely passion.

[solidysnake1]

@WavesOfTrolls no. Passion alone is not enough.

[richmond436]

It's too bad he wasn't abused as a kid, then he would be cool, like Will Hunting

[eliteaero]

This guy is one in a trillion he is the Aristotle of our time

[iDraw3G]

Do you know how many things Aristotle was wrong about?

[Caporacolo]

it's not the point.

Leonardo da Vinci said things that nowadays could be considered stupid. I just wonder how many people in the world today are like him.

[Seigge]

Man, hes a true inspiration.

[IronChariots]

The reporter should have sucked him off at the end. It would have wrapped things up nicely.

[sz42781]

He should at least have given him a reacharound

[MARPSTE]

@IronChariots Wanker

[macks3123]

@IronChariots

lol, lmfao, rolf, HA HA HA HA!

bravo!

[woo216]

@IronChariots yeh unfortunately that didnt happen next time maybe

[girlla123]

man! this guy is a one in a million guy!

[greeg02]

Whatever he is, chinese, asian it does not matter. Why don't we just appreciate his dedication and work to the world of mathematics. He is indeed a humble human being and should not be judge by his potencial.

[mixxmexx]

hear hear

[raison]

he's a chinese immigrant

[NukeOakdale]

Actually, he was/is not a Chinese immigrant. His parents emigrated to Australia but Terry was born in Adelaide, South Australia so he is a full Australian. Indeed, that's how he still identifies himself despite having been in America since 1992. If you want to talk about Terry's status in America, he would be considered an Australian immigrant.

[blackkat888]

the information processing ability of his brain is attributed to the asian genes/nature.

sorry but very little australian about him.

[BoBcatPoPdog]

hahaha mixed people, so smart

[ff2017]

Specifically Cantonese dad and Cantonese mom, both from Hong Kong.

[lubxyou]

his mom isn't white. his mom is 1/4 indian and 3/4 chinese.

[angela1894]

@jkdhoward That's NOT true. Both his parents are asian..

[jishuenkam]

i like the background music of this video since the music appears initially in the movie A Beautiful Mind that showcase mathematician and Economist John Nash

[fifadefa]

DO WANT 2 GIVE A GRIND?

[AdiZetaFunction]

LoL Aussies are so happy and excited about Professor Tao's achievements. I guess Aussies will elect their first yellow Prime Minister.

[DingoYobyt]

moron...

[AdiZetaFunction]

Cocksucking, Pedophile!

[ShirtRipperT]

hahaha...one can only hope!

[dsanzo]

I wonder if people pursuing this type of life ever get the happiness of having a girlfriend, partying once in a while, etc.

[coeurdoux]

true...you gotta have a balance. I believe Prof Tao is happily married and has a son. so he's set in that dept as well. lol.

[coeurdoux]

I was replying to Dsanzo comment. :)

[avelizosorio]

Indeed they do.

[pollardrho06]

A Star!

[concubinage]

WOW killara high!!!!!!!

[TheRiemannIntegral]

Chink!

[addikaye03]

Terry Tao is Australian just by the way.

[nanjido18]

The best mathematician in this era. I like his voice tone.

[PiBBP]

He is one of the best mathematicians in this era but Grigori Perelman is one of the best as well.

[nanjido18]

I agree Perelman has great ability and inspiration but he just quit from academic world.

[PiBBP]

Yeah because of Shing-Tung Yau.

[nanjido18]

But most mathematicians agree it was just Perelman's work. And such kind of drama with full of ego is everywhere. Murray Gell-man even did idea hijack from young physicist. Ppl are still arguing who is the true contributor about 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics and it is widely belived that Gross gave wrong info so Politzer spent more time to reach the solution. But no one can spoil T. Tao cause he's just overwhelming (he's a kind of independent institution made up of 5 different scholars).

[blackspoty2]

perelman's better

no comparison

[bshitter]

jaw-dropping...

[panteraz3]

Incrivel :)

[motherFunctor]

awesome

[Y2ANJ]

Nice, where did you get this video from?
