>be terence tao>got bored of doing pure math>switched to applied mathematics for 2 years>invented compressed sensing>accumulated 50k citations just from those random work>even my first published work was based on this>go back to doing pure math>nothing more notable has ever came out from him except some very close proof of the riemann hypothesisadmit it anon, pure math is way way harder than physics.
>>16259039He's not the lead author in any of the publications. It's easy to ride the train if you're not the conductor. This reminds me of Erdős who prided himself for accomplishing something that he actuially only did in collaboration with numerous other people. Tao, at least, isn't prone to narcissistic fits so he won't claim he's solely responsible for advancing mathematics. But I mistrust that math prodigy baby.
>>16259474>He's not the lead authorThe authors are using alphabetical order for their naming scheme. It's very common in mathematics.
>>16259484well... shit.
>>16259484Wrong, people with higher last names are smarter/harder working. That's why A Aabravitch is the greatest mathematician alive
>>16259484This is literally it. I know a chinese mathematician changed his own name to be first alphabetically so he can look like first author. Cheater.>>16259474Hello newfag.>>16259498Lol
>>16259039>>invented compressed sensingHe didn't do that and academia is useless
>>16259609>He didn't do thatHe literally did you tranny.Compress sensing isnt useless. It's used everywhere.
>>16259613His name isn't mentioned once. The first historical reference is to the 1970s. Kill yourself tranny obsessed freak.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_sensing
>>16259039TT as a 7 year old kid
>>16260137Nobody gives a shit. Grothendieck learned math much later on and contributed far more
