Many people may have heard the name of this genius, and he is Tao Zhexuan. Tao Zhexuan was born in Adelaide. His father Tao and his mother Liang Huilan both graduated from the University of Hong Kong. So Tao Zhexuan is a veritable China native. Tao Zhexuan is the eldest in the family, and he has two younger brothers, but he didn't show Tao Zhexuan's talent.
At the age of two, Tao Zhexuan showed extraordinary talent in mathematics. In order to cultivate him, his parents sent him to a private primary school when he was three and a half years old. Because he was too young to get along with his classmates who were several years older than himself, he was quickly sent back to kindergarten. In a year and a half, he taught himself all the courses in primary school through his mother's guidance.
1980, Tao Zhexuan's parents sent him to a public school. Although I entered the second grade, the course is in the fifth grade. 1982 He had taught himself calculus when he was seven years old, and the primary school could no longer accommodate him, so his parents discussed with the principal of the school and asked Tao Zhexuan to attend a middle school.
Although Tao Zhexuan is listening to middle school courses, he is not satisfied. He is eager to learn all the knowledge of mathematics. During this period, I took an American version of the college entrance examination math exam, with a perfect score of 800 and a high score of 760. At that time, only a small number of high school students aged 17 and 18 could reach a high score of over 750, while Tao Zhexuan was only 8 years old.
Tao Zhexuan's talent naturally attracted the attention of all walks of life. Everyone wants to know the IQ of this genius. After testing, an amazing data is obtained. Tao Zhexuan's IQ reached 230, surpassing Einstein's. Such a gifted juvenile country will naturally not be missed. At the age of 12, he represented Australia in the International Olympic Mathematics Competition and won the gold medal in one fell swoop.
When he was a minor, he achieved a brilliant achievement that many people could not achieve in their lifetime. He set himself the highest goal, that is, to win the Fields Prize, which is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics. 1992 Tao Zhexuan, 17 years old, went to Princeton university in the United States after obtaining a master's degree from flinders university.
1996, at the age of 2 1, he obtained a doctorate from Princeton University. Tao Zhexuan began to unleash all his talents in mathematics. He did a lot of in-depth research in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, combinatorial mathematics, analytic number theory, representation theory, etc., and finally won the Fields Prize at the age of 3 1, which realized his wish for many years.
On June 5438+February, 2009, Tao Zhexuan came to China as an interviewer for the first time for a final interview, and delivered a speech in the lecture hall of Tsinghua University main building on June 5438+February 2 1. Many people cast envious eyes when they saw this young mathematical genius. But in fact, Tao Zhexuan's achievements were accumulated through a little effort, and his passion for mathematics inspired his inner talent. Everyone is like this, and your passion is your talent.
