Have you ever thought of mathematics as an essential part of our lives? There is no doubt everything is possible now due to the persistent hard work of many genius minds. You can find them in any scientific sphere because they collaborate with each other every day to make your life more comfortable. Mathematics is undoubtedly important in every aspect of science and technology. Continue reading to know the best mathematician in the world and what he is famous for!

Mathematics is a very ancient science and most of its theories and rules were found many years ago by famous world mathematicians, such as David Hilbert, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, Pythagoras, Fibonacci, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Alan Turing, Issac Newton, and some others. Nevertheless, it is a developing science as well, so there are some new names you are about to know. So, what is the name of the best mathematician in the world nowadays? Let’s see!

Who is the best mathematician in the world today?

Terence Tao is known to be one of the greatest mathematicians in our days. This man was born in 1975 to the family of pediatrician and mathematician. He is the oldest child and has two younger brothers. At the age of 2, his parents noticed he was slightly different from the other children of the same age. He was called a prodigy child due to his many achievements, as well as being the youngest medal winner at the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Being an eleven-old child, Terence started taking classes at Flinders Universityin Adelaide. And at the age of fourteen, he already obtained bachelor’s degree in 1991 and Master's Degree in August 1992. In 1996, he got his doctorate for the thesis “ Three regularity results in harmonic analysis.” And since that year he began to publish research papers.

The first four papers written by Terrence Tao are:

"Weak-type endpoint bounds for Riesz means"; (with Andrew C Millard)"On the structure of projective group representations in quaternionic Hilbert space";"On the almost everywhere convergence of wavelet summation methods";"Convolution operators on Lipschitz graphs with harmonic kernels."

This talented man has already significantly contributed to the mathematics and has won many awards. One of them was a Fields Medal “for his contributions to partial differential equations, combinatorics, harmonic analysis, and additive number theory."

Other prizes and awards he has received include: the Salem Prize (2000); the Bôcher Memorial Prize from the American Mathematical Society (2002); the Clay Research Award from the Clay Mathematical Institute (2003); the Levi L Conant Award from the American Mathematical Society (2005); the Australian Mathematical Society Medal (2005); the ISAAC Award from the International Society of Analysis, its Application and Computation (2005); the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize (2006); the Fields Medal (2006); the Ostrowski Prize from the Ostrowski Foundation (2007); the Alan T Waterman Award from the National Science Foundation (2008); the Onsager Medal (2008); the Information Theory Society Paper Award (2008); the Convocation Award from Flinders University Alumni Association (2008); the King Faisal International Prize (Mathematics) (2010); the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics from Northwestern University (2010); and the George Polya Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2010).

Terence has written or collaborated in writing the next works:

"A 2-volume textbook Analysis";"Nonlinear dispersive equations";"Solving mathematical problems";"Additive combinatorics";"Structure and randomness. Pages from year one of a mathematical blog";"Poincaré's legacies, pages from year two of a mathematical blog Part I and Part II";"An epsilon of room, I: real analysis. Pages from year three of a mathematical blog".

Thus, being a genius mathematician, he was compared with Mozart, since “mathematics just flows out of him.”

Terence Tao is for sure the best living mathematician, but have you ever wondered who would be the best mathematician ever lived? Do not know still? Then read it out.

The best mathematician ever lived

No one would deny Archimedes to be considered the best mathematician ever lived. He made advances in number theory, algebra, and analysis, but is mostly known for his theorems of plane and solid geometry. He also proved Heron's formula for the triangle area, opened a way to trisect an arbitrary angle, and determine the parabolic section area.

Archimedes was an astronomer, as well as one of the most significant mechanists. He invented Archimedes' Principle of hydrostatics, the compound pulley, the hydraulic screw-pump, a miniature planetarium, and several war machines.

Archimedes books include: "Floating Bodies", "Spirals", "The Sand Reckoner", "Measurement of the Circle", 'Sphere and Cylinder", "Plane Equilibriums", "Conoids and Spheroids", "Quadrature of Parabola", "The Book of Lemmas", "The Method".

These are two the greatest mathematicians in the world, whose time are centuries apart but have contributed significantly towards the development of mathematics.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
