I remember we were talking about this last week, and I've submitted this particular link for the usual reason I submit a link: that I'm interested in the HN comment thread it may spawn.<p>In this case I find it rather bizarre that the Wired article has framed it in this way ("Unknown Mathematician") and then instantly (first paragraph) gives us this:<p>"a 50-something lecturer at the University of New Hampshire named Yitang Zhang"<p>So...a university lecturer...? Is "Unknown" really appropriate here? He's hardly Ramanujan!<p>The piece is a fairly nice write up for the layman, in the usual style of such things (sometimes I feel Simon Singh <i>invented</i> that style - of course he didn't, but you know what I mean), it's just the angle they've gone for seems curious. I guess it's original (?).
