UCLA Mathematician Wins Fields Medal

<p>UCLAri,</p>

<p>wow, sorry, i didn't mean to do that. i was just responding to someone saying UCB having no winner. didn't exactly do it "for no reason". but if you like thinking that way, i can't help it. i didn't know that means that much to you...lol! are you gonna throw a huge party for Tao? ;)</p>

<p>Sam,</p>

<p>I plan on throwing him a party, replete with everything a math professor would want:</p>

<p>-- non-alcoholic punch
-- a couch
-- hot pockets
-- no women</p>

<p>What's wrong with couches? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Nothing... are you implying that there's something wrong with hot pockets and non-alcoholic punch?</p>

<p>In</a> case anyone is interested:</p>

<p>Speaker: Fields Medal winner Terence Tao
Science Faculty Annual Research Colloquium Series
La Kretz Hall 110, 4 pm
Free and open to the public</p>

<p>Tao attended university at the age of nine. He is one of only two children in the history of the Johns Hopkins' Study of Exceptional Talent program to have achieved a score of 700 or greater on the SAT math section while just 8 years old (he scored a 760) (wiki)</p>

<p>I got some weird invitation to see him speak and to have wine and h'odervs (sp)/..... was that just for the math department?</p>

<p>The way distinguished professors describe him...sounds like a more cooperative Will Hunting.</p>
