Terence Tao

Mathematician at UCLA, working mainly in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. Writes What's new, a long-running blog on their research, open problems and expository notes.

Terence Tao did not write this page. What is this?

It collects the places they publish and what they have said there, each linked to the source. They have no account here. Is this you? Claim it, correct it, or ask us to remove it from ppll.

Where they publish

math.ucla.edu/~taoSite Their own faculty page: papers, preprints, books and teaching.

The academic front door they maintain themselves — papers and preprints, books, teaching, and links to the blog and the other accounts. Not a departmental page about them.

What's newBlog Their long-running research blog. Has a feed.
Research announcements, open problems, expository notes and the occasional worked argument in the comments. Running since 2007 and still posting; the feed carries every post.
