What is the success? Success — achievement of objects in view in the conceived business, positive result something, social recognition something or someone.
Way to success!
Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman is a Russian mathematician who has made landmark contributions to Riemannian geometry and geometric topology. In 1992, Perelman proved the soul conjecture. In 2002, he proved Thurston's geometrization conjecture. This consequently solved in the affirmative the Poincaré conjecture, posed in 1904, which before its solution was viewed as one of the most important and difficult open problems in topology. In August 2006, Perelman was awarded the Fields Medal for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow. " Perelman declined to accept the award or to appear at the congress, stating: "I'm not interested in money or fame, I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo. " On 22 December 2006, the journal Science recognized Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture as the scientific "Breakthrough of the Year", the first such recognition in the area of mathematics.
On 18 March 2010, it was announced that he had met the criteria to receive the first Clay Millennium Prize for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture. On July 1, 2010, he turned down the prize, saying that he considers his contribution to proving the Poincaré conjecture to be no greater than that of U. S. mathematician Richard Hamilton, who introduced theory of Ricci flow with the aim of attacking the geometrization conjecture. In May 2006, a committee of nine mathematicians voted to award Perelman a Fields Medal for his work on the Poincaré conjecture. The Fields Medal is the highest award in mathematics; two to four medals are awarded every four years. However, Perelman declined to accept the prize. Sir John Ball, president of the International Mathematical Union, approached Perelman in Saint Petersburg in June 2006 to persuade him to accept the prize.
I consider Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman as the successful person because he has made break in a science in topology. He became the great mathematician, has received the world glory and a recognition. He has achieved an object in view.
Thanks for your attention! Good bye!
