No, but it does seem to be true that most people do their best work early on in their career.

 

Generally, a mathematician will have one or two good ideas and a few techniques they really master. Then they push and apply these as much as possible.

I am not really sure about when a person is most productive in mathematics. However, if you ever want to win a Fields Medal you better be productive before you are forty.
