2. Terence Tao (IQ 225 - 230)
He was born on 17th July, 1975 in Australia. He has an IQ between 225 and 230. Being a mathematician, he specializes in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, additive
combinatorics, ergodic Ramsey theory, random matrix theory, and analytic number theory.
He currently holds the James and Carol Collins chair in mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles. He was a co-recipient of
the 2014 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.
He exhibited extraordinary mathematical abilities from an early age and knew basic arithmetic when he was 2 years old.
In 1986, 1987, and 1988, Tao was the youngest participant to date in the International Mathematical Olympiad, first competing at the
age of ten, winning a bronze, silver, and gold medal respectively. He remains the youngest winner of each of the three medals in the Olympiad's history, winning the gold medal
shortly after his thirteenth birthday.
At age 14, Tao attended the Research Science Institute. When he was 15 he published his first
assistant paper. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees at the age of 16 from Flinders University under Garth Gaudry. In 1992 he won a Fulbright Scholarship to undertake post graduate study in the United States. From 1992 to 1996, Tao was a graduate student at Princeton University under the direction of Elias Stein, receiving his Ph.D.at the age of 21. He joined the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles in 1996. When he was 24, he was promoted to full professor at UCLA and remains the youngest

Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a measure, a score obtained from a test, measuring a person’s intelligence or how sharp their brain works. These tests are for certain areas like language fluency, 3 dimensional thinking, etc.
IQ scores are used as predictors of educational achievement, special needs, job performance and income. The average IQ of the population is 100 as many score between 70 and 130.
World’s 10 highest IQ holders are:..
10. Stephen Hawking (IQ 160)
Stephen William Hawking was born on 8th January, 1942 in United Kingdom. His IQ is 160.
He is devoted to the core fields of science and have worked on gravitational theorems in the
framework of general relativity, and many theoretical predictions on black holes stating that they emit radiations and known as hawking radiation. He attended Oxford University in 1959 when he was only 17 years old.
He was the first to explain the cosmology thesis by a union of the general theory of relativity and
quantum mechanics. He is a vocal supporter of the many- worlds interpretation of quantum
mechanics.
Stephen is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of
Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian award in the
United States.
He was also a professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009.

Let help you.









Our society does not allow the nurturing of talent. It does not reward excellence. Imagine a math prodigy born to a vulcaniser e in with his brilliance he would be chased away for school fees or no trans fare.

Do you know how many physicist are bike men today.its all about survival here.

1. William James Sidis (IQ 250- 300)
He was born on April Fool's Day in 1898 in New York city. He became a strange combination of an April Fool and a 20th century genius vastly beyond common sentient
discernment.
His IQ was estimated to be between 250 and 300.
His parents, Boris and Sarah began their child's education in his first few months, and William's infant mind absorbed the
information at an extraordinary rate.
At six months, William uttered the word "door," and by the following month he had doubled his vocabulary to include "moon." At
eight months old, his proud parents boasted that he was able to feed himself with a spoon,
a skill that very few children develop within their first year.
By his first birthday-- an age when most children are still babbling-- he was honing his spelling skills. At one and a half years of age,
he was reading the daily newspaper.
His stunning accomplishments soon became a frequent feature on the first page of the New
York Times. He went to a grammar school at an age of 6 and graduated within 7 months.
At age nine William attempted to enroll at Harvard, and though the entrance exams were not a challenge for the young intellect, he was turned down on the basis that he was too "emotionally immature" for college life. He
went back to Harvard at an age of 11, graduated when he was 16.
In the meantime he continued to learn new languages, absorbing dozens of foreign tongues with ease, by the time he was adult,
he knew over 40 languages. He specialized in the field of mathematics. Sidis made a noble effort to avoid the public eye in his adult years.
He died in 1944 due to some brain damage and it was the same reason his father had
passed away.
Such was the end of the one-time prodigy..
