Russian Mathematician, Grigori Perelman, solver of the legenday Poincare conjecture and 2006 winner of the prestigous Field Medal.

In school I was never any good at math. So whenever I hear that anyone is exceptionally gifted in that subject I am amazed. Recently, I heard that the Poincare conjecture had finally been solved. The Poincare conjecture is a mathematical problem that has frustrated mathematicians for well over a century. I can not go into the particulars of the problem because as I previously stated I was never any good at math. All I know is that the Poincare conjecture has something to do with finding a mathematical equation related to shape. And in figuring out the equation it will allow scientists to figure out the shape of the universe.

Anyway, finally after more than a century the conjecture has been solved! It was solved by a 40 year old reclusive Russian mathematician named, Grigory Perelman. Perelman will also most definetly be a shoo in to win the Field Medal which is mathematics equivalent to the Nobel Prize. Along with the Field Medal he will also get one million dollars for successfully solving the equation that has dumbfounded many mathematicians over the years.

Sadly, this math genius is currently unemployed and living with his mother. He has been unemployed since December and is living off a $30 a month pension. Also, sadly, I heard that he will be turning down the prize and the money. It is speculated that the reason he turned it down is that he did not have the money to travel to Madrid to pick it up....
