>>10861293University of Illinois at Chicago. It's a mid-tier school. I'm surprised he chose such a mediocre school. He could have easily been in the top of his class even if he had chosen University of Chicago or Harvard. He got his PhD really quickly (so maybe that's why), After getting his undergraduate degree, he already had a fellowship within 3 years.
This guy was off the walls smart, and not autistic smart. His gate was kind of nerdy, but he knew how to talk to people. And he kept math in work and academia...never talked about it outside of School.
No, I'm a physics major, but I do cable in lower-maths like Group theory and complex analysis.
