Today was a Friday and all of my classes were very energetic! I'm very worn out! Here is one of the easy algebraic problems that we solved in class:
If c = 17 , what is the value of x? x + 4 = c - 3 This equation was not very difficult;
If x = 5 and z = 2, that what is the value of g? x•z = g - 6 |

ABOUT THE AUTHORHello, this blog is fake, and a school project. It is used for informing students about the mathematician Terence Tao, and is no way associated with the real Terence Tao except for all of the information in this Blog. About me
Hello, my name is Terence Tao. I was born on the 17th of July, 1975. At the age of two, I was often teaching five year olds how to spell and to count numbers. I was only two years old! When my mother asked me how I was doing this, apparently I said from watching Sesame Street. When I was three and a half, my parents sent me to a private school, but they then decided it was too early for me and that the teachers would not know how to teach me. Later, at five years old, I was enrolled at a school again, but this time starting school when everyone else was too. Two years later, I was already starting high school, at the age of seven. Four years later, I was still attending high school, but also taking courses from a university called Flinders University. I met Paul Erdos, who was a famous mathematician at the time. Eventually, I went on to, at the time, become the youngest person to ever win a gold medal in the International Math Olympiad. I also scored a 760 / 800 on my SAT, one of the highest scores EVER. I graduated from Flinders with a Masters degree in 1992, and then went on the Princeton for a doctorate degree. I earned the doctorate in 1996. Currently I work as a professor at UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles). I earned the Fields medal in 2006, which was a great honour.
Awards I recievedthe Salem Prize in 2000; the Bôcher Memorial Prize from the American Mathematical Society in 2002; the Clay Research Award from the Clay Mathematical Institute in 2003; the Levi L Conant Award from the American Mathematical Society in 2005; the Australian Mathematical Society Medal in 2005; the ISAAC Award from the International Society of Analysis, its Application and Computation in 2005; the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize in 2006; the Fields Medal in 2006; the Ostrowski Prize from the Ostrowski Foundation in 2007; the Alan T Waterman Award from the National Science Foundation in 2008; the Onsager Medal in 2008; the Information Theory Society Paper Award in 2008; the Convocation Award from Flinders University Alumni Association in 2008; the King Faisal International Prize (Mathematics) in 2010; the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics from Northwestern University in 2010; and the George Polya Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2010.
