Euler is in a class of one. Judging by the volume of work and the pleasure he takes in collaborations, Terence Tao seems to be having a positive impact. I am not a mathematician but I hear good things about the quality of his work.

Not to be rude, but saying this about a Fields medallist is somehow very funny.

I can see that. But, there are often controversies about who gets what award, even up to the Nobels. Since there are very highly qualified people posting here, I just wanted to be clear that I have no ability to understand Tao's work and am going by acclaim.
