In the classroom, Greg seems to be on par with his peers. And so I believe one of the most important things in preparing for the sciences is to get a great mathematics foundation," says Greg. Why start with math? "I believe that science is the gateway to understanding the mysteries of our universe and that mathematics is the beacon that lights its path. "I do desire to get four Ph.D.s, in mathematics, biomedical research, aerospace engineering and political science," he says. Greg has set an ambitious course for himself. So it's no surprise that at 14-years-old, less than a month after he graduated from Randolph-Macon college in Virginia, Greg started studying for a Ph.D - in mathematics. By two, he was reading about dinosaurs, and by 5 he could do simple algebra, draw molecules and had read Jules Verne, his favorite author. The wunderkind has been on a roll since he was just 18-months-old, when he started solving simple arithmetic problems. in mathematics - the first of four advanced degrees he intends to pursue. While most 14-year-olds are enjoying their summer vacation outside, Greg Smith is in a classroom working out mathematical proofs in his first course at the University of Virginia.
in mathematics at the University of Virginia. Now, the whiz kid takes on another grand task - he's studying for a Ph.D. His IQ has been measured as being in the top 25% of the top 1percent, and when not attending university, he's an international philanthropist who has been nominated for the nobel peace prize - twice.
He is a lanky young man, with floppy blond hair who loves to play basketball and goes hiking.
