Charles Fefferman, a [[Princeton University]] mathematics professor who is considered one of the finest American mathematicians ever.<ref>Fefferman was the youngest professor ever granted tenure, and won the coveted Fields Prize before age 30.</ref> He supposedly mastered [[calculus]] before the age of 12, despite its inaccessibility to schoolchildren that age.<ref>http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Fefferman.html</ref>

He enrolled in college after spending only one year at Takoma Park Junior High, where he may have had trouble fitting in, a familiar criticism of [[homeschoolers]].<ref>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GTAletters/message/18110</ref><ref>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GTAletters/message/18103</ref>

Was Fefferman [[homeschooled]]?
