Maths genius turns down $1m

In March 2010, unconventional Russian maths

genius Grigory Perelman was in the newspapers for

refusing to accept a prize o f $1m. The US Clay

Mathematics Institute had awarded the Millennium

Prize for his solution to the Poincaré conjecture,

posed by French mathemat ician Henri Po incaré in

1904. It was considered one of the most important

and difficult problems in mathematics. Perelman

posted his solution on the internet in 2002, but it

took the world’s lead ing mathemat icians several

years to check it.

This wasn’t the first time Dr Perelman had refused a

prestigious prize. In 2006, he turned down the Fields

Medal, regarded as the equivalent of the Nobel

Prize, saying, ‘I’m not interested in money or fame.’

Perelman was born in St Petersburg in 1966. At the

age of 16, he won a gold medal, with a perfect score,

at the International Mathematical Olympiad. He was

also a talented violinist and loved opera. He went on

to complete a PhD, followed by a d istinguished

career, which included posts at several US

universities. In 1995, he refused to send a CV when

Stanford University offered him a job, arguing that

if they were familiar with his work, it should not be

necessary.

Since 2006, Perelman has given up mathematics and

lives a reclusive life in St Petersburg. Described as

the world’s cleverest man, he lives with his mother

in a s mall flat, where neighbours say he plays table

tennis against the wall.

1 Perelman is gifted at maths. T

2 The newspapers didn’t think he should

accept a million dollar prize.

3 Perelman won the prize for solving a

very difficult maths problem.

4 It took him several years to solve the

problem on the internet.

5 He refused the Nobel Prize in 2006.

6 Perelman scored 100% at the

International Mathematical Olympiad.

7 He wasn’t interested in anything except

mathematics.

8 He did a PhD before he went to

the USA.

9 At Stanford University, they knew

nothing about Perelman’s work.

10 He doesn’t work in mathematics now.

11 He lives alone in St Petersburg. 15

A: So how are you settling in, Lynne?

B: Fine. It’s weird living in a small country village after the bright

lights of the city, but everybody’s made us feel really welcome.

A: What, they’re bringing you home made cakes and inviting you

for coffee mornings?

B: Not exactly, thank goodness. I haven’t got time for coffee

mornings! But the neighbours next door invited us for lunch last

Sunday. It was a lovely day so we ate in the garden. It was all

very relaxing and informal. They’re very nice people.

B: Jack? How did he get on with his A levels, by the way?

J: Great. He got an A and two Bs.

B: Very good. So he could go to any university he chooses.

J: That’s exactly the point. He’s not sure he wants to go to

university.

B: Oh, why’s that?

J: Well, you know he’s got a real aptitude for bui lding and mending

things – especially engines.

B: Yes, so he should study engineering.

J: I know. But he’s not brilliant at maths. He wants to be a car

mechanic.

B: In my view, that would be a mistake, Jim. You need

qualifications nowadays.

J: But you don’t have any qualifications, Bill – and you’re a

millionaire! But what I wanted to ask you was – could Jack do an

Hong Kong or Dubai, we’re not sure.

D: Yes, I know what you mean. But you’d be surprised how quick

and easy it is online, especially if you use one of those travel

sites like Expedia or Travelocity. It’s worth a try. And you can get

very cheap deals.

J: Really? Better than the travel agent’s?

D: Usually, yes.

J: OK, I’ ll have a look tonight. So let’s go for a drink now and catch

up, shall we?

E = Elizabeth J = James

E: Where have you been, James? Haven’t seen you for ages.

J: Hi Elizabeth. Yes, I just got back from Cairo. I do quite a lot of

business there.

E: Really? Funnily enough, I’m off to Cairo in a couple of weeks to

see my daughter, Alex. She’s been studying Arabic there.

J: Oh, that sounds interesting.

E: Yes, she’s staying with a local family. I’d like to take them a

present or something. Any tips?

J: Well, if you’re invited to their home for dinner, take some really

nice chocolates. Not flowers though – they’re only for weddings.

E: Oh, that’s useful to know. Anything else?

J: Well, they love it if you have second helpings. But if you’ve had

enough to eat, leave a small bit of food on your plate. Otherwise

they’ll keep filling it up!

E: Thanks for the warning!

T = Tom V = Vicky

T: Have you got Matt’s phone number, Vicky?

V: Sorry, Tom – it’s on my mobile, but that’s at work. I forgot to put

it in my bag.

T: But don’t you remember the number?

V: No, of course not!

T: But you’ve been going out with Matt for six months – and calling

him several times a day. Surely you know his number by now.

V: Why should I? I always use my mobile. Anyway, I’m hopeless at

remembering numbers.

T: Haven’t you written it down somewhere?

V: Yes….but I can’t remember where. Oh, come on, Tom! You’re

not much better. You couldn’t remember your car number plate

last week!

T: That’s because it’s a new car. You borrowed it – and then forgot

where you parked it! Remember?!

H = Headmistress J = John B = Barbara

H: Hello, John. Hi, Barbara. Thank you for coming at such short

notice. It’s just that I wanted to discuss something with you

before the parents’ meeting next week.

J: Is it about the bullying of students on the social networking

sites?

B: Yes, I’ve heard about that, too. The mother of one of my

students asked me what were going to do about it.

H: Exactly, Barbara. We need to discuss our options. What do you

think we can do? John?

J: Well, in my view, it’s the parents’ responsibility to monitor their

children’s use of these sites.

B: I must say I agree with John. I do think that we should make

sure students aren’t bullying each other at school, but I don’t see

how we can control what they do at home – on their computers.

H: Yes, but for me, there is a connection between the two. Let me

give you an example …
