Who are lesser known geniuses/prodigies

Walter didn't have a high school degree and iirc Chicago wouldn't accept him as a PhD student because he lacked one. That's why he went to MIT.

High quality thread thus far. Thanks for posting this guy as well.

Tinsley just became one of my favorite mathematicians.

>He is widely remembered to have spent three days in a library
Relevant only because he was 12.
>sent a letter to Bertrand Russell pointing out what he considered serious problems
Which could be completely erroneous and irrelevant.
>with the first half of the first volume
That could be withing the first three pages.

He was indeed a *genius* but this anecdote could be misleading.

Apparently the letter impressed Bertrand Russell though so it probably was relevant.

Truth has spoken.

>participated in the International Mathematics Olympiad, winning three gold medals and one silver medal

>He became known as a mathematician after finishing his Bachelor's degree in three semesters and his Master's degree in two further semesters. Scholze's subsequent PhD-thesis on perfectoid spaces[7] yields the solution to a special case of the weight-monodromy conjecture.[8]

>He was made full professor in 2012, shortly after completing his PhD, becoming the youngest full professor in Germany, at the age of 24.

I have no doubt he is a genius, but if students finish early it's usually because their parents go them in school earlier, or got them taking more advanced university level courses by the time they were in HS. This allows them to finish undergrad earlier and focus on grad classes.

honest question, no offence intended

do people like him get laid?

Why not? Everyone who's not horribly disfigured gets laid.

Have you ever met a mathematician who gets laid without help?
The only ones I met were those 'I study math and sport because I'm smart AND athletic, please like and subscribe" guys

what does "help" mean here?
nobody does anything without some form of help

he has a child, so presumably yes

...

another question, no offence intended

is his child half black

The "you're drunk, that chick wants your dick" kind of help
Pro tip: they dont want the dick most of the time, but its fun anyway

Who /robert christian/ here?

Are you asking if he's gone WMBF master race? They say that once a white boy goes black, he never goes back. White women just can't compete anymore.

Tell me about Villani, why does he where the tie?

No idea.

>lesser known

Scholze is pretty well known in maths, he is a future fields medallist for sure.
Just at the start of his career.
Well known, won fields medal, popula4 books

They tend to not care too much about it, so probably way less than most people, and payung for it (like James Holmes). They end up finding a gf on their 20s though.

I hope they are, so people stop thinking that black people are all dumb.
