Terrence Tao,
He is a mathematician of Australian and American roots. If you think
that math is hard enough, just take a peek into the subfields that Tao
is involved with: additive combinatorics, analytic number theory,
ergodic Ramsey theory, harmonic analysis, partial differential equations
and random matrix theory.
A
recipient of the Fields medal in 2006, Tao holds the James and Carol
Collins chair in mathematics at the University of California, Los
Angeles. He has had good training, learning math when he was barely a
toddler, solving arithmetic problems at two years old, studying college
level math at nine and getting a gold medal in the international math
Olympiad when he was 13. He got his PhD when he was only 20 from
Princeton and became a full professor at UCLA when he was 24. He has
already published 230 research papers.
