    Terence Tao summed up the advantage of the hyperreal framework by noting that it allows one to rigorously manipulate things such as "the set of all small numbers", or to rigorously say things like "η 1 is smaller than anything that involves η 0 ", while greatly reducing epsilon management issues by automatically concealing many of the ...

    In 2016, Terence Tao published a paper titled "Finite time blowup for an averaged three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equation", in which he formalizes the idea of a "supercriticality barrier" for the global regularity problem for the true Navier–Stokes equations, and claims that his method of proof hints at a possible route to establishing ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green–Tao_theorem

    In number theory, the Green–Tao theorem, proved by Ben Green and Terence Tao in 2004, states that the sequence of prime numbers contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. In other words, for every natural number k {\displaystyle k} , there exist arithmetic progressions of primes with k {\displaystyle k} terms.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf's_law

    Even in English, the deviations from the ideal Zipf's law become more apparent as one examines large collections of texts. Analysis of a corpus of 30,000 English texts showed that only about 15% of the texts in it have a good fit to Zipf's law. Slight changes in the definition of Zipf's law can increase this percentage up to close to 50%. [45]
