projects a quiet friendliness that makes it easy to forget that the 40-year-old is widely considered one of the towering mathematical figures of his age. "He's very unpretentious," said Benedict Gross, a mathematician at Harvard University who has known Bhargava since the latter's undergraduate days.

od for estimating how many points with integer coordinates (meaning their coordinates are whole numbers) are contained in a region of space of a given volume. Bhargava has added a host of new techniques to this subject, says Benedict Gross of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His st
For the even degree case, Bhargava showed that the typical hyperelliptic curve had no rational points at all. The joint work of Bhargava and Benedict Gross, followed up by that of Bjorn Poonen and Michael Stoll, established the same result for the odd degree case as well. Bhargavas work has thus
