Abstract
Terence Tao is the oldest of three children. His exceptional mathematical talent was recognized at a very early age. In recent years his radical and successful acceleration and his exceptional results in mathematics have attracted much media attention. Terry was the first eight year old ever to score 760 (out of a possible 800) on the SAT-M. Only 1% of college bound 17 and 18 year olds in the United States attain a score of 750 or more. When he was eight, Terry scored 90% on a mathematics paper produced by the Public Examinations Board of South Australia for year 12 students, i.e. students typically aged 17 or 18. The following article, written by the father of Terence Tao, should be read in conjunction with the earlier paper published in this journal on Terence (see Clements, 1984). GILAH LEDER * * *
