英文原稿
Tao enrolled in high school classes when he was seven years old, scored 760 on the math section on the SAT at age of eight, went to university full-time when he was 13, and became a professor at UCLA at 21. At the age of 31, he won the prestigious Fields Medal. Yet he rejects lofty notions of genius, for what really matters is hard work, directed by intuition, literature, and a bit of luck.
Tao showed the remarkable grasp of language and numbers early in life, but his parents created the environment in which he could flourish.
They provided him with books, toys and games and encouraged him to play and learn on his own. His father, Billy, believes this stimulated his son’s originality and problem-solving skills.
Billy and his wife, Grace, also looked for good learning opportunities for their son as he began his formal education, and he was fortunate to meet educators who helped foster and stretch his mind.
