 Cambridge
University is one of the
top universities in the world. Genius scientists such as
Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking attended the university.
Cambridge is widely known as one of the
most difficult schools to get acceptance. But recently, a young British
boy got accepted from Cambridge!
His name is Arran Fernandez. He is only 14 years old! He is still
very young, but he is excellent at math.
Arran is already very famous in England. He surprised the world first
when he was only 5 years old. He took the national math exam and got
the highest grade in the exam’s history!
The test is normally taken by 16-year-old
students. The next year, he took a higher level math exam and gained A+. Arran keeps getting
even smarter. At age 7, he also wrote a novel.
Last summer, the young genius
passed the college entrance
exams called the A-levels set by Cambridge and the university decided
to accept him. In England, A-levels are usually taken by 18-year-old
students. He only needs to pass the physics exam to enroll. At Cambridge he will
major in math which is his
specialty.
When he enters the university in October, he will be the youngest
student there in 237 years. In 1773, William Pitt entered the university
at the age of 14. Later, he became the prime minister.”
Cambridge looks forward to welcoming Arran in autumn. We will help
him develop and fulfill his academic potential to ensure a productive and rewarding experience during
his studies at Cambridge,” said Professor David Cardwell, who will
teach Arran.
 Arran was
educated at home and he really enjoyed home schooling. He learned
many subjects from his father.
“Math has been my favorite subject for as long as I can remember,”
he said. “I want to be a research mathematician when
I grow up. I’d like to solve many difficult math
problems, including the Riemann hypothesis,” he added. The
Riemann hypothesis is a theory about the patterns
of prime numbers that has puzzled the greatest mathematicians
for 150 years. This is so amazing for someone so young.
Good luck, Arran! We hope
you will be able to solve the difficult
math problem! Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy your campus life at Cambridge,
too! |
