Yes, brilliant in all respects.

In any case, a brilliant physicist should also be good at maths...this compartmentalsation of science and this "us" and "them" attitude makes me laugh at times. The fact that he can "surprise" the maths community is just another signpost of just how insular the knowledge on this planet has become. It looks more like a priesthood/religion than anything else.
