Serre is indeed a top mathematician. (I'm actually surprised to find out that he's still alive!) At this point Tao only has 3/4 his number of publications, similar numbers of textbooks, a similar number of awards (using https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Serre/ to count awards), and so on. I'd count Tao as having more of what I see as major breakthroughs, but that is subjective. But then again, Tao is half of Serre's age. Yeah. I still think it is fair to put Tao in the same tier as Euler, Gauss and Hilbert. |
