Farrell Wu began doing math at age one and was trading stocks at age three. Wu's insatiable thirst for knowledge led him to read through the encyclopedia while waiting for his parents to pick him up from school. Last fall, Wu placed third in the Philippines Mathematical Olympiad at the age of 12, surprising both the judges and his peers. In 2013, Brilliant.org matched Wu with a mathematics professor from the University of Michigan for private tutoring sessions to study undergraduate level linear algebra. According to his mentor, Wu is already at the level of an exceptional undergraduate math major. Wu plans to continue his studies in mathematics in the United States and to pursue a career in investment banking.
