Abstract. The article deals with issues related to the manifestation of mathematical talent from an early age and the attitude of professionals to such a phenomenon as Terry Tao. Epizodes from his biography and several tasks he faces at different ages are considered. The main emphasis is on Terry Tao‘s contribution to the proof of Sendov‘s conjecture and his lecture on this topic, organized by the International Center for Mathematical Sciences - Sofia at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at BAS together with the the Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians.
Keywords: mathematical talent; Terry Tao; Erdős discrepancy problem; Sendov‘s conjecture
