What made him famous  to the general public was his refusal of two most prestigious awards alongside with his odd behavior.And again, there are mathematicians whose work had, at the very least, as much influence on the development of modern mathematics. You can not deny the fact that two times in a row the most prestigious award in mathematics was given to guys from Asia (Terence Tao and Ngo Bao Chao).Now, getting back to the topic discussed (quants from Asia), I suggest you analyze the most recent literature on quant finance. ...I have a bunch of books on my desk...let's see, among the most recent ones I have "Demystifying exotic products" by Chia Tan (quant who works for the same bank I do), "A practical guide to Quant finance interviews" by Xinfeng Zhou, and "Quantitative analysis, derivatives modelling, ...." by Yi Tang and Bin Li.  and these just the books that I have, I am sure there are many more <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />1) all names sound Asian to me  2) going back some 10 years ago I don't remember seeing that many book on quant finance written by guys with Asian names.</blockquote>
