Poincaré conjecture, Perelman, Fields Medal

There are a lot of quarrel about how much credit everyone involving to solve Poincaré conjecture should get. But the most important person, Grigory Perelman, a Russian mathematician, deline which I think is more valuable than Nobel prize.

It shows that the fundemental research still need genius and have genius. Not all the work need to be done through cooperation and fund.

There is good post from MITBBS.com(A chinese forum for people in North American)
