Prodigy with higher IQ than Albert Einstein: Math genius, was expelled from school in the past because he was too smart

Surely many people will have to 'sweat' when learning about the life of Dao Triet Hien - a Chinese math prodigy.

Dao Triet Hien was born on July 17, 1975 in Adelaide, Australia. He is Chinese, Australian-American nationality. He is known as a math genius and has received countless international awards for his research work.

In particular, Dao Triet Hien has a very high IQ, in the range of 220 - 230. Even this index is higher than that of great scientists like Stephen Hawking (160) or Albert Einstein (about 160 - 190).

The math prodigy got the world's attention, in the past he was dropped from school because he was. too smart

It can be said that Dao Triet Hien was born with intelligence only found in genius children. However, if you follow his growth and development, you will find that the educational background from his family also contributed greatly to the success of this man.

Dao Triet Hien was born into a religious family. His father graduated as a medical doctor from the University of Hong Kong, while his mother completed a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Hong Kong with excellent academic records. The two fell in love while still at university, then the whole family moved to Australia to live in 1972.

At the age of 5, Dao Triet Hien returned to primary school and began to study the Math program of junior high school. At the age of seven, he published his first book on Mathematics. At the age of 8, he finished high school and scored 760/800 on the SAT. Before that, only two candidates had ever scored above 700 on the SAT but were both high school students. This proves the outstanding intelligence of Dao Triet Hien.

At the age of 9, Dao Triet Hien studied Mathematics at the University and subjects related to computer programming. At 10, 11 and 12 years old, Dao Triet Hien became the youngest contestant to participate in the international math competition for high school students with bronze, silver and gold medals respectively for 3 consecutive years.

In the following years, Dao Triet Hien achieved more and more achievements that made many people admire. At the age of 14, he officially became a freshman at Flinders University (Australia). Two years later, he graduated with a bachelor's degree program, then completed a master's program at the age of 17.

At the age of 24, Dao Triet Hien became the youngest professor in the history of the University of California.

Up to now, Dao Triet Hien has held countless records such as: The person with the highest IQ; The living mathematician has won the most national and international awards, honors, and medals to date. At the age of 29, he won the MacArthur Fellowship. It is known that each year this prestigious award only awards 20-40 individuals who are US citizens or permanent residents, with outstanding achievements in many fields.

In the same year, he won the Nobel Prize in Mathematics. Just two years later, he received the Fields Medal, one of the highest honors in mathematics. Up to now, he has made many contributions to world mathematics with more than 300 articles, 17 books, and hundreds of research works on mathematics. With his intellect ahead of his time, he was favored by many with the nickname "Mozart in Mathematics".

The full life of a child prodigy: Marrying an ordinary person, devoting life to a passion for Mathematics

It can be seen that Dao Triet Hien soon revealed his prodigy intelligence and became famous at an early age. However, unlike many other child prodigies, Mr. Dao's talent is growing.
