Is this faggot a meme? Seems like all he did was win some math contests and make predictions about prime numbers?

Still dwarfs any of your personal achievements thus far, amirite?

at 24 yo

kek get a load of this guy

Yikes hope he enjoys that 300+ mile commute to work everyday

To be a professor at any college before 30 is really impressive, my friend.

>Not a top 10 school
UCLA is ranked 6th or 7th in math, which is the important part. He's also proved several outstanding conjectures and is probably the closest person alive when it comes to solving the navier stokes problem.

UCLA Mathematics ranked #7 nationally in U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 Best Graduate Schools.

>Is that supposed to be impressive? Not a top 10 school

UCLA still the 33th best in the world.
He is also the YOUNGEST math professor ever.

Theorems != predictions
Also he proved the Erdos Discrepancy conjecture and invented Compressed Sensing.

I want to suck his dick, no homo

Yes, of course he is a meme. Everyone /sci posts over and over again is a meme. That is what a meme is.

Guys help how do i get a higher IQ? Do more higher level math?

I hear they have an IQ corrective surgery in China.

Its really over isnt it? ill be sub 130 forever

for the near future at least

>corrective surgery
Very good.

In 2012, in joint work with longtime co-author Ben Green, proofs were announced for the Dirac-Motzkin conjecture and the "orchard-planting problem" (which asks for the maximum number of lines through exactly 3 points in a set of n points in the plane, not all on a line). That same year, Tao published the first monograph on the topic of Higher Order Fourier Analysis.

In 2014, Tao received a CTY Distinguished Alumni Honor from Johns Hopkins Center for Gifted and Talented Youth in front of 963 attendees in 8th and 9th grade that are in the same program that Tao graduated from. That year, Tao presented work on a possible attack on the notorious Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness Millennium Problem, by establishing finite time blowup for an averaged three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation. That year he also, jointly with several co-authors, proved several results on short and long prime gaps.

In September 2015, Tao announced a proof of the Erdős discrepancy problem, using for the first time entropy-estimates within analytic number theory

so tl;dr he is a meme. Hey op you wanna make another IQ thread on Veeky Forums? I'll join you since that's what successful and talented people do.

He invented Compressed Sensing.
A signal processing technique for Electrical Engineering.

He isn't only a top tier pure mathematician
But a top tier applied mathematician as well.

Wtf, how do you even compete if you didn't get a headstart when you were a child?

I think Terry seems pretty cool but in addition to whatever he himself did, he was promoted by very many other people in academia and the media

Attached: jiujitsuJamanta.png (267x271, 28K)

i used to do some of my problem sets on the floor outside his office hoping i'd get some brain power from him through like air osmosis but then i figured out he wasn't even at ucla that quarter he was visiting at some other university

This seems like his only real accomplishment, and even then he was part of a larger team.

How did this thread survive past ? If you win a fields medal then you have without doubt proven your place as a mathematician.

Awards are worthless.

I knew his brother at uni and he was a turbo fucking autist. Weird grunts, hooting outbursts, spasmodic gesticulations, the works. Pretty good PhD student though.

they all are.
But skill is what make the difference between people like Terence and people like that moronic autistic kid whose name I forgot who "invented" a way to transfer 30GB per seconds using his novel "compression algorithm".

I went to his lecture for the Undergraduate Seminar today. He lectured on how he solved (his part of) the Discrepancy Problem. The lecture was going well until he opened up for questions. A black woman sitting below the front row asked seven questions ("Do you have an Instagram?") for of which she was not called on for. The other students' questions were not as bad, though they were still centered around petty social frameworks ("What is your favorite subreddit?"). Overall, Terence Tao seems pretty laid back had has a wonderful mind built (albeit intentionally by his parents) for problem solving, although I much prefer other professors pedagogically.

was this at UCLA? not sure what you mean by "Undergraduate Seminar"

pshh

i mean its not bad like

Is that you Thomas? I was also at the lecture yesterday. Now you get to guess who I am

lol
it literally is autismo

Basically at UCLA some math nerds convinced researchers to give lectures explaining the basics of their field or even a problem they've solved to undergrads, the first was given by Monalescou on low dimensional manifolds, the second was in the applied math looking at how fungi release spores and creating mathematical models, the third I've was given by Tao on the Erdös Discrepancy problem.

Also, some students asked good questions, one guy asked about the property of the function, another on finding bounds for the discrepancy length sequence thing. I'll admit I didn't understand a thing

Typo: replace I've by one in the last line

>Wtf, how do you even compete if you didn't get a headstart when you were a child?
How we can even compete?
Pro tip: We can't.

where is the info about this? I'm a math major at UCLA and have no idea what you're talking about, it's not on the site schedule either

It's mainly by word of mouth; there's an email list that I think Connie is sending out. Try to get a hold of Connie about it. Are you in 110BH, 131A/BH, 132H? If you're in one of them then try talking to some people in your class.

naw I've already basically completed the major so I've already taken those, I graduate at the end of this quarter. whatever

Just curious what are you taking?

only math class I'm taking this quarter is 151B, not an applied major but thought the subject was interesting so I've taken classes in it. otherwise just taking GEs

Lrn2meme fgt pls

He delivered a few years ago at my university (Auckland). The content was quite interesting but his delivery was a lot more nervous and halting than I had expected. He seems pretty confident online so that surprised me.

>i don't believe Tao is super intelligent
Mind telling us about any other kid who did world-class math research at 15? Tao is Hilbert.

Because his logical reasoning stinks in regards to politics and his writing is mediocre. terrytao.wordpress.com/tag/politics/

>someone can't be super intelligent if they don't support Trump!!!!

Being wrong about politics is ok just don't expect me to consider you an authority in logic and reasoning.

Everyone is ignoring the basic fact that he has wealthy, well-educated parents with background in STEM. It's clear that he had a huge genetic advantage, but considering how shit his blog is on other topics, people should be aware of the fact that he was incredibly lucky to have had the parents he had, and other opportunities.

I mean, the fact of having the luxury of being forced to do math since a very young age and not having any distractions seems pretty important to me.

Maybe I'm a brainlet and some people are born with the integral in their brains.

>Overall, Terence Tao seems pretty laid back had has a wonderful mind built (albeit intentionally by his parents) for problem solving, although I much prefer other professors pedagogically.

It's strange that most people don't realize this. It's one thing to be genetically gifted, but it's a completely different thing to actually end up doing something with those qualities, and I think it's important to see that some people have that guidance drilled into their heads by relatives and friends, while some have to do it themselves in different ways.

I'm just saying this, because people look at individuals like Tao as if they're Gods. Sure, they are, but there is also a human side that is almost equally important.

*Ciprian Manolescu

>he has different opinion on politics than me, thus he isn't intelligent
Also, his writing, while not extraordinary, doesn't degrade his great teaching skills. His analysis book is so clear that i used it, to great success, when i was tutoring calculus to highschool kids as a part-time job.
Still waiting for you to bring up someone who did world-class math research at 15. If you think Tao is anything short of prodigy, you're ignorant. Prodigies like Demaine pale in comparison to Tao.

>if you criticize drumpf that means you are stupid

I mean, look at Einstein's kids.

That "genetic advantage" doesn't mean much.

That was today, shit. I got the email and completely disregarded it

Tao is a hack.

>not following based high IQ business man
Nice trips though
If you don't know when to stop debating, you may have Asperger's syndrome. He's not the smartest man who has ever lived, that honor belongs to Plato. Simply he is the result of prolific parents, environment and a high iq; in fact most of his success can be attributed to his parent's direct encouragement which is also noted in this thread. I would guess his overall IQ is about 130 but because he can't cohesively combine predicates and vocabulary to explain something simple, it makes me believe he thinks he's smarter than he actually is ie; Ben Shapiro.
Onto your second part of your post. I don't believe doing "world-class math research" at a young age qualifies as pure intellect. More over you stretch the truth to that because he graduated with a bachelor's at age 16. It took him three to four years to graduate like everyone else - if he was truly a genius as you say and let's assume he was just as devoted at the age - wouldn't he have graduated earlier? I'm skeptical of child prodigies because it produces retards like this: youtu.be/DBXZWB_dNsw

>Smartest man alive
>a meme

einstein was never smart. he just stuck two equations together and presented phlanks work as his own. He even had to modify his theory of relativity with an arbitrary coefficient because it was wrong.
He was a celebrity with a lot media worship behind him to make his wave of immigrants instantly taking places at the top of americas institutions seem ok

>He's not the smartest man
Nowhere near, that honor belongs to either Galois or Euler.
>He is result of his parents, environment and high iq
Do you think Tao is the only gifted child with good parents? If not, why is there no other person like him (really only Demaine, but he's nowhere near Tao)? Could it be that he's exceptional even among gifted children?
>he can't combine predicates and vocabulary
You're guilty of the same thing, everyone does this to some degree. Try cohesivly combine predicates and vocabulary to prove Trump is the better candidate. People aren't robots, they break rules all the time to avoid having to change their views.
>can't explain simple things
Sure he can, read his book. He can even explain hard things, read his blog. Or better yet, talk to him.
>he thinks he's smarter than he is
Attend some math conference and meet him, he's one of the most humble mathematicians.
>doing world-class math research at young age isn't pure intellect
See you're guilty of the same thing as him, it is obvious these words you put together are nonsense. Moreover, i choose the age of 15 because that's when he first contributed significantly to a paper, but he worked on papers since he was 12 (the Erdős paper).
>wouldn't he have graduated earlier?
If he was focusing on one field, like most people do, he probably could have. But he was exploring multiple different fields and it's still how he does math to this day.
>i'm skeptical of child prodigies
>because this guy media portrayed as one isn't anything like i want them to be!
Child prodigies isn't "it", it's what we call exceptionally gifted children. Again, Erik Demaine is the best comparison you can get- great parents, academic career since very young age, professorship at top uni at age when average guy does undergrad, same collaborative style of research as Tao; yet he's nowhere near as accomplished as Tao.

I mean, the mental gymnastics that you have to go through every day. You'd probably qualify for the Olympics.

All of You Veeky Forums guys say that Tao is arrogant.

But Tao is in fact very Humble compared to any
STEM professor or student in ever met.

People say He is the best.
But in fact He never boasts himself.
It's the others who praise him, not himself.

In contrast every STEM student or professor in my Uni I know can't keep
30 minutes of conversation without boasting with arrogance.

Ok rein it in you idiot. Eeinstein was a massive celebrity and much of his fame is based on it but to say he wasnt smart because all he did was add and reformat planks work is fucking retarded. Was maxwell also a retard for is contributions to the idea of electro magnetism? Was heaviside an idiot for his reformulation and improvement of maxwells equations? What about faraday, gauss, and ampere? Nearly ever scientific discovery is based entirely on what came before.

>MSc
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA fucking brainlet. t. applied physicist PhD. If I saw him irl I'd banter him on how dumb he is.

>i dont understand tao's work
>tao isnt good

personally i prefer the mathematicians from 500 years ago whose work i saw in analysis101

he writes probably the best maths blog ever too

I'm planning on taking 115 and 131ab next winter and fall, kinda saving them for almost last. Biskup said I fucked up, is that true?

This
Tao is at the cutting edge and it makes /polsci/ angry. There are only a few other mathematicians at Tao's level today.

>won the fields medal when he was like 28

No op, you're a meme.

If a genius like him voted for Hillary, maybe you're the retard for not voting for her

why secular humanist undergraduates are easily impressed by brainlets??

Wait a minute. How could he compete in IMO when the rules say that competitors can't be in a uni.

He isn't white.

Should have picked a better field.

Looking how it took him 7 years to get that bachelor, I would say he wasn't a regular enrolled student.

What do you expect man. He's probably not very sociable.

He's a fake asian.

He's a competent mathematician, but he doesn't have the breadth of knowledge to make him the smartest man alive. Wolfgang Smith is a better candidate.

Awards don't mean anything, user. They signify achievement less than merit badges do.

>Tao is at the cutting edge

By doing worthless pure math?

Those courses are pre-reqs for all the interesting classes at UCLA. Want to take grad classes? Want to do machine learning? Numerical analysis? Etc. They I took 115AH and 131AH my first quarter at UCLA. I wish I had taken 110AH as well. I'm a transfer student btw, but the math department is actually pretty good at teaching the core classes. Im graduating this spring and my only regret is not being able to take 245 because I didn't think I was ready

nice east coast bait

Einstein's kids were pretty smart...

Hans Albert Einstein

Then you have Hans Albert Einstein. Hans Albert was a pretty brilliant scientist. He was a professor of hydraulic engineering at UC Berkeley and the world's foremost expert on sediment transport. That might not sound as impressive as his father's achievements, but that still makes him a pretty smart person.

Hans Albert's children, again, had many of the health problems that characterized the first generation of Einstein descendants. You see, Hans Albert had four biological children, but only one of them, Bernhard Einstein, ever survived to adulthood.

Bernhard Einstein

Bernhard was a pretty smart guy. He became a physicist, worked in engineering for Texas Instruments and Litton Industries, and received half a dozen US patents in his life. That's pretty decent, but that's not quite as great an achievement as his grandfather's.

Bernhard had five children, but I was unable to find information on any of them. I assume they had lives similar to their father's: pretty successful by normal standards, pretty unsuccessful compared to their great-grandfather.

the greatest physicist in the world -> the foremost expert in a relatively restricted scientific field -> a pretty good engineer
