枫下拾英 / 乐韵书香 / Terence Tao, one of this year's fields medal winners, is described as "Mozart of Math, except without Mozart's personality problems" :)))At 31, he is one of the youngest to win a Fields Medal. He was born
and grew up in Australia, got his Ph.D from Princeton at 21 and became a full professor of mathematics in UCLA at 24. The quote was from the former chair of the math department at the UCLA. -klassische(老音乐迷); 2006-8-22 {258} (#3158052@0)

Can't see his wife and son's photo, though. -asker(amour); 2006-8-22 (#3158174@0)

21岁普林斯顿的Ph.D，24岁UCLA的教授，31岁的他该整个院士头衔了吧？。。。 -noproblem(大可以); 2006-8-22 (#3158235@0)

美国人不太稀罕院士这个头衔. 有了Fields奖, 他到中国去弄个院士应该没有问题. -klassische(老音乐迷); 2006-8-22 (#3158244@0)

是不是天才喜欢学数学？还是学数学的容易出天才？忽然想起，这乐韵书香里，有N多的大虾是学数学的，俺们这些非数学的，有些不好混地说。。。 -noproblem(大可以); 2006-8-22 (#3158259@0)

别人我不知道, 我是很早就发现自己连人才都不是, 所以就混到这儿来忽悠了. :) -klassische(老音乐迷); 2006-8-22 (#3158263@0)

这是现在学者的潮流，自己的专业让弟子们去搞，自己去忽悠一些人文的东西，什么三国，老子，易经，音乐等。 -eagle_no1(瞎起哄); 2006-8-22 (#3158279@0)

我的恩师全这样----华工是教委颁发的全国人文教育中心，从校长到教师全这调调，其中有不少笑话。。 -eagle_no1(瞎起哄); 2006-8-22 {74} (#3158301@0)

我早就说过，形式主义害死人！ -noproblem(大可以); 3.6 12:36 (#2822386@0) -klassische(老音乐迷); 2006-8-22 (#3158432@0)

Does Math or Physics indeed have something mysterious to do with music? I met quite a few math or physics guys or gals who are great at music in terms of theory and practice, let alone the fact thatAlbert Einstein is both a physicist and violinist himself. -asker(amour); 2006-8-22 {59} (#3159311@0)

i am not sure. among my math classmates in university, there were about 5 or 6 out of 100 who are real classical music fans, including three of my roomates. -klassische(老音乐迷); 2006-8-23 (#3160481@0)

是的, 我们都是黑五类的飞机晚点, 是不是我砸莫扎特砸的太狠他不欢迎我去了? ;) -klassische(老音乐迷); 2006-8-23 {52} (#3162505@0)

On the plane again? I hope I can get similar chances to travel around. :) -asker(amour); 2006-8-24 (#3163024@0)

Since he has good personality, maybe he will not be like the other Chinese Fields Medal winner who has got into a nasty personal fight with his own student!!! -klassische(老音乐迷); 2006-8-22 (#3158246@0)

果然据了. -mystery(Lost In North); 2006-8-22 (#3158313@0)
据说狄拉克当年得诺贝尔物理奖时就想拒，生性腼腆书呆子气的他说是不想出名，卢瑟福劝他最好还是去领，否则会更出名，他才去了。：） -ro-ro(LazyRiver); 2006-8-22 (#3158520@0)
