While an undergraduate at Columbia University, he was a three-time Putnam Fellow. He won the 1982 competition at the age of sixteen years and four months, making him possibly the youngest Putnam Fellow in history [1]. He then went on to earn his Ph.D. under supervision of Benedict Gross and Barry Mazur at Harvard University. In some educational systems, an undergraduate is a post-secondary student pursuing a Bachelors degree. ...

In 1988, he disproved Euler's conjecture for fourth powers. 1988 (MCMLXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
Eulers conjecture is a conjecture related to Fermats last theorem which was proposed by Leonhard Euler in 1769. ...
His work on Euler's conjecture won him recognition and a position as an associate professor at Harvard in 1990. In 1993, he was made a full, tenured professor at the age of only 27. This made him the youngest full professor in the history of Harvard, surpassing the record previously held by Alan Dershowitz (who was made a full professor at age 28). This article is about the year. ...
