Solver of Over 100 Year Old Math Problem Refuses Million Dollar Prize


Iwrote previously about another genius and now I read about Grigory Perelman, who solved the more than 100 year old Poincare Conjecture and then refused the One Million Dollar prize. Wouldn't it be great if he would apply his laser like concentration and massive intellect to medical research?.."A Russian awarded $1 million (£666,000) for solving one of the most intractable problems in mathematics said yesterday that he does not want the money".



Said to be the world's cleverest man, Dr Grigory Perelman, 44, lives as a recluse in a bare cockroach-infested flat in St Petersburg. He said through the closed door: 'I have all I want.'
