Experts Reject Mathematics Prize Money U.S. $ 1 Million


Indonesian to English translation
Who does not want to be a millionaire? Perhaps only a Russian mathematician who refused a gift of USD1 million.

Grigory Perelman, 43-year-old man's genius can not decide whether he wants the money or not.

"He said he needed time to think about it," said James Carlson, who called Perelman. Male unemployment is now living with elderly mother who had won an acknowledged named Millennium Prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Carlson said he was not too surprised to see ketidakantusiasan Perelman. The genius of this history seems to have been repeatedly refused a reward for his intelligence.

In 2006, Perelman made headlines in the media while ignoring a ceremony in Madrid. At that time, he should have been awarded the Nobel Prize in mathematics. But Perelman choose silence at his home in St. Petersburg.

For this latest award, when interviewed a local television station, he mentioned he had not yet decided whether to reject the prize money or not. Carlson was the first to know about it.

Sergei Rukshin, Perelman high school math teacher, told The Associated Press also asserted the same thing.

Rukshin mention, very introverted student who had been unemployed for a long time and refused all offers to her job. Previously, he worked at the Steklov Mathematics Institute.

"As far as I know, since a lot of media attention he's getting does not want to be known publicly and it looked like an animal which is seen at the zoo," said Rukshin.

Meanwhile, Carlson declined to say what the fate of prize money if Perelman really decide to reject it. However, Carlson had great respect for Perelman.

"It's nice to meet people like him. On the other hand, I respect his desire to live peacefully," he said. (Okezone / AssociatedPress)
