As a child, Tao won medals at the International Mathematical Olympiads. Charles Fefferman calls Tao a mathematical ``Mr. \PMlinkescapetext{Fix} It.'' His 2004 paper with Ben Green on arithmetic progressions of primes was hailed by Neil Sloane as a major mathematical landmark. Two years later, Tao became the first Australian to win the Fields medal.
