Discrete.Mathematics.and.Its.Applications这本书是离散数学的经典书籍，好好读一读，系统化一下自己的知识。
书本上会有介绍非常多杰出的数学家，如高斯， 这样名垂青史的大人物。
只是读到263页的时候被一个年轻的脸孔震惊到了，看起来还像个中国人。名字叫：TERENCE TAO
于是细读一下。越读越是震惊，然后网上一查，才知道，原来人家早已大名鼎鼎，只是是本人孤陋寡闻罢了。
他的事迹也不用我在这里多作介绍了，大家上网一搜就能搜到。在这里仅仅想膜拜一下这位真正的大神。
陶哲轩 - 24岁被洛杉矶加州大学聘为正教授。 世界公认数学家，现今只是39岁，大神的像：

原书263页对他的介绍：
TERENCE TAO (BORN 1975) Tao was born in Australia. His father is a pediatrician and his mother taught
mathematics at a Hong Kong secondary school. Tao was a child prodigy, teaching himself arithmetic at the age
of two. At 10, he became the youngest contestant at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO); he won
an IMO gold medal at 13. Tao received his bachelors and masters degrees when he was 17, and began graduate
studies at Princeton, receiving his Ph.D. in three years. In 1996 he became a faculty member at UCLA, where
he continues to work.
Tao is extremely versatile; he enjoys working on problems in diverse areas, including harmonic analy-
sis, partial differential equations, number theory, and combinatorics. You can follow his work by reading his
blog where he discusses progress on various problems. His most famous result is the Green-Tao theorem,
which says that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of primes.Tao has made important contributions to the applications
of mathematics, such as developing a method for reconstructing digital images using the least possible amount of information.
Tao has an amazing reputation among mathematicians; he has become a Mr. Fix-It for researchers in mathematics. The well-known

Terence Tao.” In 2006 Tao was awarded a Fields Medal, the most prestigious award for mathematicians under the age of 40. He
was also awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2006, and in 2008, he received the Allan T. Waterman award, which came with a
$500,000 cash prize to support research work of scientists early in their career. Tao’s wife Laura is an engineer at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory.
写完，感觉自己在宣传似得。呵呵，人家不用我多此一举。
仅仅是感觉自己读数学读的焦头烂额的，看看人家，年纪轻轻就是世界公认的数学家了！
遇上这种人物，显赫地列在这本书上，大有和世界历史上最杰出的数学家并驾齐驱的感觉，神一般的存在。给震惊了一个多小时，于是上来发博文。
好好反思一下自己，好好向人家学习学习！
