Item Description: |
Goodbye Poincare. Closing the book on an infamous conjecture. Taming the fourth dimension. Almost 100 years ago Henri Poincare encapsulated the way we think about space in a famous mathematical conjecture, but proving it has beaten the best minds. Until now. Bruce Schechter looks at a possible proof that has the world of mathematics on tenterhooks. |
