16 Year Old Winning Big Award

This might have been posted here already but I found this pretty ccol:

"I formed a theorem which characterizes all such domains for which the resulting solution is rational — namely in terms of their Riemann maps and their Bergman kernels," he said.

Full story here

Bit worrying though for a 16 year old in a way. Let's all hope he'll be fine in the girlfriend department.

"When you look at a nice theorem — a proof, a very elegant proof, there's something very beautiful about it,"

True! And that's the same with a nice bit of (PHP) code...

Sort of a nice Will Hunting he seems. He's not a member here is he?

I wonder what he actually did? It would be nice to see more detail.

Re: 16 Year Old Winning Big Award

What he actually did was a nice theory about Riemann maps and Bergman kernels!
