He is brilliant. His blog also contains lots of useful information for those who plan to pursue maths, see http://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/

This guy was at university before he even reached puberty. Can i say, just why in the world isn't there a nobel prize for mathematics. that is rubbish, this guy deserves his 1.5 million dollar share for his greatly gifted mind. Maybe money isn't everything, but the highest honor in maths is actually worth only 15,000 and he was awarded that. stupid Nobel board.

i think the honour itself is worthy. when you are that smart, money stop being an issue. pays for a professor isn't low.

i'd think scientists will lead very simple life in their working life, if they have all these luxury to be enjoyed, there goes a lot of incentives to keep working.
