Meet Terence Tao, He Attended University Mathematics Courses At The Age Of 9 by Teophilus96(m): 11:15pm On Apr 08, 2017
Tao exhibited extraordinary
mathematical abilities from an early
age, attending university level
mathematics courses at the age of 9.
He and Lenhard Ng are the only two
children in the history of the Johns
Hopkins' Study of Exceptional Talent
program to have achieved a score of
700 or greater on the SAT math
section while just nine years old. Tao
scored a 760. [9] In 1986, 1987, and
1988, Tao was the youngest
participant to date in the
International Mathematical Olympiad ,
first competing at the age of ten,
winning a bronze, silver, and gold
medal. He remains the youngest
winner of each of the three medals
in the Olympiad's history, winning
the gold medal shortly after his
thirteenth birthday.

At age 14, Tao attended the
Research Science Institute . When he
was 15 he published his first
assistant paper. He received his
bachelor's and master's degrees at
the age of 16 from Flinders
University under Garth Gaudry. In
1992 he won a Fulbright Scholarship
to undertake postgraduate study in
the United States. From 1992 to
1996, Tao was a graduate student at
Princeton University under the
direction of Elias Stein, receiving his
PhD at the age of 21. [10] He joined
the faculty of the University of
California, Los Angeles in 1996. When
he was 24, he was promoted to full
professor at UCLA and remains the
youngest person ever appointed to
that rank by the institution.
