Gregory went to first grade at the age of 6 and even then showed mathematical abilities. By the 8th grade, he studied at an ordinary secondary school on the outskirts of Leningrad, then he transferred to the 239th Physics and Mathematics School, where the requirements were higher. Parents instilled in him an interest in mathematics, his mother introduced him to classical music. He was also fond of chess and table tennis. I didn't receive a gold medal at the end of school only because of physical education, without passing the TRP standards. |
