Geniuses in mathematics

History knows a lot of examples of young geniuses in music. There was even the black boy who used to play the piano with two hands when the right hand was playing one melody and the second another. And at the same time he was whistling the third one.

But young people that were geniuses in mathematics were not so lucky as those who became famous in music. The major part of young mathematicians disappeared in nowhere after the flash of popularity. The great physician and mathematician Ampere was one of a few who stayed in the memory of the followers and with the name of whom the unit of the current power was named. He became famous not only in mathematics but also became famous all over the world in other spheres of knowledge. He was really genius reading a lot of books. But nothing brought him so much delight as encyclopaedias reading. Even since many years he had the ability to transmit the major part of it.

Gauss is another example of famous mathematicians that became famous all over the world. He was born in 1777 in the poor German family but already being 15 he published his first scientific work. And soon he was named the greatest mathematician of 19th century. Mathematics was its best developed sphere. And the teacher of mathematics even asked the boy to stop visiting his classes because he had nothing to teach the boy.

Unfortunately such destinies are not typical for talented children.
