Amazing how Tao managed to explain a mathematical adventure like a Hollywood thriller. Even I who know nothing about maths find great interest in this narration. Bet he is a great teacher!

i listen to him when playing video games. Which then boost my brain activity.

Doesn't he seem like a really well spoken, quiet, polite and lovely young gentleman?!?!?!

He’s brilliant. I was in the same year when entering Princeton grad school and lived in the same “ New College “ (dorm) as Terry in the early 90s. He was so young and we all saw him at dinner each night. I’m in the humanities so we weren’t close. He was roughly 16 or so if I remember correctly. Later, I would sometimes see him walking on Witherspoon, deep in thought. He had this same Australian accent in those days as well.

Tao is a very good communicator. Modest, fluent, responsive, considered, honest, and humorous. Very good person, a great scholar and a gentleman to the core..

It's like his mouth is constantly trying to catch up to his brain, but never will. What a man!

Thank you the talk and thank you to the foundation for holding this event, and awards ceremony. I think there would be plenty of donors that would provide a stipend for the coordination of the comments and work, mostly proof reading and suggestions. Come on social media giant you gave the money to Berkeley, UCSF, and Stanford, for the atlas of the human bodies, time to give it up to those number therorists, crytoplogists, and bioinformaticists that will help decode Genomes, DNA, RNA and protein interactions of those cells.

I think he has so many knowledge, he has a hard time telling it to us.

Good, Zhang Yi Tang isn't from an elite university, I think he contributed.

8:47 this idea should absolutely be considered!

Interesting idea the Polymath Project, especially considering that every mathematical problem can be broken down into numerous presumably easier problems.

love this guy. I have many inpirational people who make me who i am today and he is one. You can understand quite a lot with mathematics believe it or not. I am a self taught physicist
