　　A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a million­dollar prize is living with his mother in a simple flat in St Petersburg，co­existing on her￡30­a­month pension，because he has been unemployed for many years.

　　The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse (隐士)who shocked the maths world when he solved a century­old puzzle known as the Poincare Conjecture.

　　Grigory Perelman's trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute, the Steklov, in 2003.When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to re­elect him as a member，Dr Perelman was left feeling an“absolutely ungifted and untalented person”，said a friend.He became unconfident and cut himself off.

　　Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union's congress in Madrid，where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等价物)of the Nobel Prize，and that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.

　　Interviewed in St Petersburg，Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention, and was uninterested in the prize.“I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest，”he said.“I am not saying that because I value my privacy，or that I am doing anything I want to hide.There are no top­secret projects going on here.I just believe the public has no interest in me.”
