Terence Tao
- BigZaphod 16y agoI was going leave a comment asking why this was here, but after reading about his mathematical prowess/history all I've got to say is: whoa.
- xtacy 16y agoHe writes a lot: http://terrytao.wordpress.com/ http://terrytao.wordpress.com/.
- metellus 16y agoI've only heard of him from his comments on rjlipton's blog posts about the claimed P != NP proof, but from just that it's clear that he's a good communicator on top of being a math genius.
- blahblahblah 16y agoHis work on compressed sensing is ground-breaking, seriously game-changing stuff. Full-fidelity reconstruction of a data set from sub-Nyquist sampling through the use of a priori information about the data set's properties in some sparse representation... brilliant!
