Richard Duffin was an American physicist and professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University. He is known for his invaluable contributions to electrical transmission theory and geometric programming. While teaching at Carnegie Mellon, Prof. Duffin met a young student who was very much inclined towards pursuing a career in mathematics. He was a bright fellow who received admission with a full Scholarship. Assessing his talent, Prof. Duffin decided to become his advisor and under his guidance, the boy completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in mathematics at the age of twenty. He wanted to earn his PhD and approached Prof. Duffin to write down a letter of recommendation to Princeton. To his request, the professor obliged and wrote down a letter of recommendation for his application to Princeton. The letter of recommendation was remarkably precise and read just one line, “He is a mathematical genius”. With this recommendation, he was accepted into Princeton with a fellowship and earned his PhD at the age of twenty-two. The ‘mathematical genius’ recommended by Prof. Duffin was the great mathematician John Nash. In 1994, Forty-four years after obtaining his PhD, he received the Nobel Prize in Economics for his remarkable contribution to analysing equilibrium in the field of non-cooperative games, popularly known as the Nash equilibrium. https://medium.com/@geet.amrit1992/the-mathematical-genius-f5e3dce62dc
没仔细看吧，被推荐者是纳什😂
哈哈有文化好可怕！！
没文化真可怕
我觉得genius和ass hole这两个词出现一般都挺真实的。
他后来转专业是因为冯•诺依曼说，你数学不行，改经济学吧
那他到底是不是天才
哈哈 确实是。不到那个段位的都不敢用。而且这俩还会经常用在同一个人身上
相比之下talented就很水
早慧和天才是两码事
还有比这评价更准确和不虚浮的吗？
想起一个故事。
毕业找工作时，HR问那种特虚的问题 你的朋友怎么形容你的？我想说自己很友好 不想用friendly这么随便的词 刚看过 Miss congeniality 就想形容自己congenial。结果脱口而出genius。那人愣住了看了我两眼没说话。结果没过🤣🤣🤣
熟食，所以华人说什么天才班就是搞笑
这位怕是没看懂信里英文说什么了吧？
