Richard Lawrence Taylor (born 19 May 1962) is a British mathematician working in the field of number theory.
A former research student of Andrew Wiles, he returned to Princeton to help his advisor complete the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Taylor received a $3 million 2014 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics "For numerous breakthrough results in the theory of automorphic forms, including the Taniyama–Weil conjecture, the local Langlands conjecture for general linear groups, and the Sato–Tate conjecture." He also received the 2007 Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences for his work on the Langlands program with Robert Langlands.
He received his B.A. from Clare College, Cambridge, and his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1988. From 1995–96 he held the Savilian Chair of Geometry at Oxford University and Fellow of New College, Oxford, and later became the Herchel Smith Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University. He currently works at the Institute for Advanced Study.

Weta Workshop is a special effects and prop company based in Miramar, New Zealand, producing effects for television and film.
Founded in 1987 by Richard Taylor and Tania Rodger as RT Effects, Weta Workshop has produced creatures and makeup effects for the TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess and effects for films such as Meet the Feebles and Heavenly Creatures. A digital division, Weta Digital, was formed in 1993.
Weta Workshop's output came to worldwide prominence with director Peter Jackson's film trilogy The Lord of the Rings, producing sets, costumes, armour, weapons, creatures and miniatures. It supported the creation of Reclaiming the Blade (2009), a documentary film on stage combat, historical European and Asian swordsmanship.
The company name comes from the weta, "New Zealand's coolest little monster, a bizarre and prickly prehistoric cricket".
For The Lord of the Rings film trilogy realistic looking PVC chainmail was made, not just for the lead actors, but also for the hundreds of extras that appeared throughout the films. PVC pipe was cut into rings, assembled by hand into armor, and then electroplated. A total of 12.5 million links were manufactured from 7 miles of PVC pipe.
The Germanic first or given name Richard derives from German, French, and English "ric" (ruler, leader, king) and "hard" (strong, brave), and it therefore means "powerful leader". Nicknames include "Dick", "Dickie", "Rich", "Richie", "Rick", "Ricky", "Rickey", and others.
"Richard" is a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Dutch. It can also be used as a French, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian name.

2015 Breakthrough Prize laureate Richard Taylor on individual versus collaborative problem-solving, translating between geometry and number theory, and devoting his life to proving the Langlands conjectures.
When you think of a physics professor, you probably don't immediately pair one with the famous paint splatterer Jackson Pollock. But after this video, you just might. Richard Taylor has been a professor in the UO physics department since 2009. He has worked in the USA, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and has published more than 250 papers. This includes eight papers in Nature and three in Science (if you're not a science geek, we gotta tell you -- that's a big deal!) In addition to his career in science, Richard is a trained painter and photographer. He has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to studying natural patterns called fractals. Richard has studied fractals in physics, psychology, physiology, geography, architecture and art. About TEDx, x = independently organized...

The Painting & Drawing Channel is dedicated to the art of learning to paint... with a host of your favourite artists. Today, professional artist Richard Taylor teaches you how to transform a sketch of a building into a realistic watercolour. Using a wet-on-wet technique, he paints a realistic tree, demonstrates how to compose the picture and uses sweeping brush strokes to reinforce a realistic structure. Leaving white flecks of paper showing through the image, Richard creates highlights and reflections. By painting light, medium and dark shadows he enhances the timber frame of the building.

2015 Breakthrough Prize laureate Richard Taylor on individual versus collaborative problem-solving, translating between geometry and number theory, and devoting his life to proving the Langlands conjectures.
Michael Harris is an American mathematician who deals with number theory and algebra. He made notable contributions to the Langlands program, for which he (alongside Richard Taylor) won the 2007 Clay Research Award. In particular, he (jointly with Taylor), proved the local Langlands conjecture for GL(n) over a p-adic local field in (Harris & Taylor 2001), and was part of the team that proved the Sato–Tate conjecture. Harris attained his doctorate from Harvard University in 1977, under supervision of Barry Mazur. His thesis, entitled "On p-Adic Representations Arising from Descent on Abelian Varieties", was later published in Compositio Mathematica. Harris, Michael; Taylor, Richard (2001).
