A great example of what would happen if someone who has this intelligence at a young age, grows up in a great enviornment. As a kid his parents had the ability to benefit his learning with lots of things for him to use and learn from.

"There is a place for using computers but first you have to work out... what is worth computing" I wish more computational scientists and engineers would spend more time on working out this strategy before embarking on huge computations wasting a lot of valuable CPU hours. (Un)fortunately, for many in the computational science world computing is both the means and the end of their activity. There is rarely any deep analysis of the necessary strategy that Terence so humbly talks about.
Absolutely right. "Supercomputers" are overrated. You could run a very good scientific career just with 1 laptop. In the past, great universities had only a millionth of 1 laptop. And they made nuclear bombs, mach 3 jets and landed on the moon. Clever programming is the real constraint, NOT speed or storage.
The type of computing Tao refers to is not of the sort applied scientists carry out in their work. For example, you can verify that the Collatz conjecture holds for all positive integers up to 10^6, or test other assertions this way, or gain intuition about special cases of some theory, or simplify an expression analytically with a computer algebra system. It doesn't seem to me that computational scientists and engineers waste their CPU hours on computations, because their problems are much more tractable.
Lots of smart people but he comes off first of all as a kind, balanced human being. His genius in one area is just that - genius in ONE AREA, and he seems like someone who doesn’t define himself off one ability
Terry Tao was also best friends with the classical composer Julian Cochran according to some media reports. Imagine being amongst their conversations in high school.
My favorite planet is Neptune because nobody talks about it. It's also interesting. There are a few moons I fall for, too. While I know that it was the neanderthals who said, "Don't not come near us, lest you die (disease) and the copper they enlightened us to make as it gets germs away, I would have written a book about how they were from Titan or something, lots of radiation, and they couldn't get near us, lest they scar their bodies. I also think there are more human-types that have more neanderthal in them and who hide like the gods of civilizations old and some African mixes, too. Many Africans, even though people are like, low IQ as a group, are extremely wise and open their minds up to more despite taking a test that has no composite meaning. I'm not trying to get out of my IQ. Years of abuse destroyed my memory.
Iq is merely the measure of how quickly you can identify patterns verbally or mathematically. Usually, people with higher iq's are smarter as they can learn new things much quicker and can understand it to a much greater depth. Whilst iq may not be entirely accurate it certainly is a good estimation of one's intelligence... I believe that haters of the iq test are those who do not score very highly.
Am surprised at how many good mathematicians are of Chinese heritage, including this guy, unknown and unemployable at the many teaching jobs he applied for, and ending up working at Subways for a while, surely Subway's smartest ex-employee! 😂 www.concordmonitor.com/counting-from-infinity-zhang-unh-math-twin-prime-movie-12492993
Iq is definitely a mesure of intelligence, but you know, they are exceptions, persons who have scored lower than expectations (due to their stress or mindset or even other difficulties that can be generated with higher iq that general). So the iq tests are indeed relevant but sometimes it has flaws.
That’s why I always loved math, there is a definite correct answer! There isn’t a grey area in between. I don’t like courses that there are multiple correct answers! I wanna be right or wrong. I thought I was the only one that thought that way LMAO!

after seeing that other piece about Tao doing Ph.D mathematics as an 8 year old, i conclude his IQ might be around190-ish. if it is beyond that, don't fault me.
Maths(Dual perspectives Low within yhe world and then outside the world ) Things can be ranked as the following Low (Basic equations) That can have reverse counter parts( addition to subtraction and multiplication to division) and through either repetitions other equations can be formed (+ - ×) allowing for another low form . Then their are shapes which generalise equations by adding a principle which is better described by word out loud by looking from a third person perspective. 1 (added by 1 - 3x itself equates the next pattern) Allowing for unlimited associations . So remember Low and repetion creates equations while higher creates and outside force manipulationg questions Memory Numbers can be summarised as trims that are put through equations No principle unless probable through a trim Code Are Basically associtions between . You must look at a code at the outside perspective of the equation and once an established association is met work on it
If only, education systems of the world would seek out more gifted children like Terence Tao used to be (he is not a child anymore that's what I mean), we would have more people like Terence Tao as most of these highly gifted or even gifted children go under the radar and their abilities, talents and gifts dont get explored and dont get given properties and care needed for growth of the said gift, so at the end of the day, their gifts get wasted away.
to be fair, their "gifts" are never wasted, they simply just don't become famous. I've only come across some a few times, but it's genuinely shocking when you see a coworker, a neighbor, or an acquaintance you never think much of, only come to find out their houses are covered in paintings and mathematics and their computer screens have code all over them. The reality is it's just not like the movies, most geniuses live quiet lives of solitude, most of us will never interact with them.

Maths(Dual perspectives Low within yhe world and then outside the world )
Things can be ranked as the following
Low (Basic equations) That can have reverse counter parts( addition to subtraction and multiplication to division) and through either repetitions other equations can be formed (+ - ×) allowing for another low form .
Then their are shapes which generalise equations by adding a principle which is better described by word out loud by looking from a third person perspective. 1 (added by 1 - 3x itself equates the next pattern)
Allowing for unlimited associations .
So remember Low and repetion creates equations while higher creates and outside force manipulationg questions

Numbers can be summarised as trims that are put through equations No principle unless probable through a trim
Code
Are Basically associtions between . You must look at a code at the outside perspective of the equation and once an established association is met work on it
