Russian Math Genius Rejects $1 million Dollar Prize

"When he solved the Poincaré conjecture, he ignored the peer-review process and simply posted his three-part solution online." That is far more interesting I think than the fact that he rejected the prize, given that he rejected awards before.

&#62; Perhaps the smartest man in the world.<p>For fuck's sake, can we stop it with this bullshit. Yes, Perelman is a mathematical genius. He is undoubtedly a talented and extremely intelligent individual, but the statement above adds unnecessary sensationalism.

Are we going to read this story once a month?

Isn't it ironic that his attempts to avoid fame brings him more media attention?
