I wish to one day aspire to have a tenth of this man's genius.
-
Gosh. It's nice to have some smart people in the world. So many dumbasses messin' up our world.
-
@mozart20dlubos but they still might get bored some maths prodigies dont even study maths at uni so then no further progress is made anyone can be good at maths its not that hard maths in school here in the uk is a joke you just plug in numbers to formula no thoery is tested hardly
-
@MathMikie Not true. When it comes to math, you can never 'learn it all'.
-
@mozart20dlubos yes it is good but some people who arent prodigies become a all time great and some lose interest in maths because if you learn it all when your young you might get bored of maths
-
@MathMikie But if you're a mathematical prodigy, isn't it more likely that you'll become a great mathematician than just some average dumb kid ?
-
@mozart20dlubos yes but the stat is not the most imporotant in my opinion its where you end up what you achieve
-
@MathMikie You're wrong, child prodigies sometimes develop into great mathematicians..
-
@TheRiemannIntegral @SweepManiac I too hope Reid Barton does great research. Unfortunately, the track record of great problem-solvers in mathematical research is not great. Of all the other people who were Putnam fellows for 4 years in a row, none of them have done much significant work: Coppersmith, Vakil, Poonen, Rubin are virtually uknown in the mathematics world, yet they were some of the greatest problem-solvers as undergrads..

because terence tao is not white, asians suppose to be just doctor or engineer with stucked up mind. If he was white, whole comment will be full of adores..
Am I right white fellas?
