Terence Tao: "Previously, you needed a PhD to contribute to math research. Now a high school student can." Dwarkesh asks the world's most famous mathematician: what's your advice for someone considering a career in math, especially in light of AI progress? Tao is honest about uncertainty: "We live in a time of change. A particularly unpredictable era. Things that we've taken for granted for centuries may not hold anymore. The way we do everything... not just mathematics... will change." He admits his preference: "In many ways, I would prefer a much more boring, quiet era where things are much the same as they were 10 or 20 years ago. But one just has to embrace this. There's going to be a lot of change. The things you study... some of them may become obsolete or revolutionized. But some things will be retained." On new opportunities: "Previously, you had to go through years and years of education and get a math PhD before you could contribute to the frontier of math research. But now it's quite possible at the high school level that you could get involved in a math project and actually make a real contribution... because of all these AI tools and Lean and everything else." His advice: "There will be a lot of non-traditional opportunities to learn. You need a very adaptable mindset. There'll be worth pursuing things just for curiosity and for playing around. Still go through traditional education and learn math and science the old-fashioned way for a while... credentials will still be important. But you should also be open to very, very different ways of doing science. Some of which don't exist yet." He concludes: "It's a scary time. But also very exciting."

The origin story of Eurisko, the super-advanced math/CS track that I and Jason Roberts developed within Math Academy's original school program, that took high school students all the way up to reproducing academic research papers in artificial intelligence, building everything from scratch in Python. During its operation from 2020-23, Eurisko was the most advanced high school math/CS track in the USA. Students didn’t just import off-the-shelf libraries to complete run-of-the-mill projects. They actually implemented neural networks, backpropagation, game trees, evolutionary algorithms, you name it, from scratch. It’s still early and the first Eurisko cohort is still in college, but there have already been some amazing student outcomes in terms of college admissions, accelerated graduate degrees, research publications, and science fairs. For instance, the year after completing the Eurisko curriculum, one high schooler leveraged his quantitative coding chops to conduct and publish career-kickstarting research that “revealed 1.5 million previously unknown objects in space, broadened the potential of a NASA mission” (to quote Caltech), and won last year's Regeneron Science Talent Search ($250,000). The goal of Eurisko was for students to reach a high enough level of skill that they could capitalize on some math/coding-related opportunity and turn it into a chain reaction of fortunate events. And it’s so great to witness some of these chain reactions get underway. But the best part is that we're gradually able to do more and more of this at scale. We're taking everything we've learned from doing math/coding talent development manually, and building it into our online system, to make it available to the whole world.

I had a fantastic time discussing with the learning legend Justin Skycak from Math Academy about learning math in the modern age. we've talked about his quite impressive self-learning journey (3000h of math in high school) all the way to how he hand curated the initial knowledge graph for math academy to make that process more efficient. great lively 3h discussion here are the chapters: 0:00:00 - intro: 0:02:10 - justin background 0:05:45 - 3000h math self study in high school 0:11:45 - what a day looked like for that 3000h stretch 0:16:10 - meta-learning vs pure math learning 0:21:50 - when did you get into cognitive neuro? 0:29:55 - how did the fundamental math helped in your research projects 0:43:10 - what does the math academy learning system looks like 0:47:34 - how did you guys build the 2000 topic knowledge graph 1:01:15 - would LLM be useful as an interface to that knowledge graph for the students? 1:10:46 - how does the FIRe spaced repetition algorithm works? 1:17:34 - does the same knowledge graph structure would work for physics? or other topic?: 1:34:05 - how do you understand the subject vs the curiculum 1:35:50 - is there a connection between studying math and learning a sport? 1:42:00 - do you think in math doing and teaching requires different skills? 1:56:25 - could you get understanding without automaticy? 2:05:35 - do you see any upside of confusion in learning? 2:14:11 - learning math as an adult? 2:19:20 - how to fill the motivation gap after learning the fundamental? 2:24:10 - how should teaching math for kids and adults balance fundamentals and creativity? 2:33:55 - is it ever too late to learn math seriously? 2:46:00 - mastery learning vs ultra learning 2:51:30 - top-down vs bottom-up 2:53:40 - mastery learning for domain without a structured hierarchical structure? 2:56:30 - neurodivergence / adhd for structured math learning? 3:06:20 - amateur mathematician augmented with technology will be able to contribute to research? 3:14:37 - what are you most excited about right now in term of learning enjoy!
