March Tian Boedihardjo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
March Tian Boedihardjo (born c. 1998 in Hong Kong with family roots in Anxi, Fujian, China) is a Chinese/Indonesian child prodigy. He finished his A-level exams in Britain at the age of nine, gaining As in Mathematics and Further Mathematics and a B in Statistics. He also gained 8 GCSEs, which he sat at the same time as his A-levels.[1] March was accepted at Hong Kong Baptist University, making him the youngest ever university student in Hong Kong.[2] The university designed a tailored 5-year curriculum programme for March, but on his first day of class he criticized his classes as too easy and unstimulating.[3] Upon successful completion, he will be conferred a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Science as well as a Master of Philosophy in Mathematics upon successful completion.[4][5]
March comes from a very talented family, for he has a brother, Horatio, who enrolled at Oxford University at 13, after studying at Greene's Tutorial College, an institution primarily attended by 16-18 year olds in Oxford. The college specialises in one-to-one tuition, making it possible for March to attain his A levels at such a young age. March commented in an interview that his father does not have sufficient money to educate him at Oxford University. [2]
