In 1986, 1987, and 1988, Tao was the youngest participant in the International Mathematical Olympiad, winning a bronze, silver, and gold medal respectively. He won the gold medal before he was 13 years old-a feat that has never been paralleled since.

He received the Salem Prize in 2000, the Bocher Prize in 2002, and the Clay Research Award in 2003, for his contributions to analysis including work on the Kakeya conjecture and wave maps. In 2005, he received the Levi L. Conant Prize with Allen Knutson.

In 2004, Ben Green (mathematician)|Ben Green and Terence Tao released a preprint which claimed to prove that there exist arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of prime numbers.
