Dr. Grigori Perelman, a Russian mathematics genius refused to accept from the Clay Mathematics Institute the $1 million cash prize after solving one of the world’s toughest math problems - the Poincare’s (pwan-kah-Ray) conjecture, which deals with shapes that exist in four or more dimensions.Some call him the world's cleverest man, some call him a genius in hiding, and others call him the reclusive genius. Perhaps he's just a humble yet brilliant man. However, regardless of what others may say, my hat is off to Dr. Grigori Perelman. A great achievement in math, see the Breakthrough of the Year: The Poincare Conjecture--Proved from ScienceMag.org.
