admit it anon, pure math is way way harder than physics.

He's not the lead author in any of the publications. It's easy to ride the train if you're not the conductor.
This reminds me of Erdős who prided himself for accomplishing something that he actuially only did in collaboration with numerous other people. Tao, at least, isn't prone to narcissistic fits so he won't claim he's solely responsible for advancing mathematics. But I mistrust that math prodigy baby.

The authors are using alphabetical order for their naming scheme. It's very common in mathematics.

Wrong, people with higher last names are smarter/harder working. That's why A Aabravitch is the greatest mathematician alive

This is literally it. I know a chinese mathematician changed his own name to be first alphabetically so he can look like first author. Cheater.

He literally did you tranny.
Compress sensing isnt useless. It's used everywhere.

His name isn't mentioned once. The first historical reference is to the 1970s. Kill yourself tranny obsessed freak.

Nobody gives a shit. Grothendieck learned math much later on and contributed far more
