March The Poincaré Conjecture: In search of the shape of the universe Donal O'Shea The Poincaré conjecture is one of the few mathematical results that has managed to catch the interest of the mainstream media. Acknowledged as one of the most important open questions in mathematics, and endowed by the Clay Mathematics Institute with a reward of $1,, for the first correct solution. The Poincaré Conjecture tells the story behind one of the world's most confounding mathematical theories. Formulated in by Henri Poincaré, his Conjecture promised to describe the very shape of the universe, but remained unproved until a huge prize was offered for its solution in Six years later, an eccentric Russian mathematician had the www.doorway.ru, Donal O'Shea explains the.

In , Henri Poincaré, a giant among mathematicians who transformed the fledging area of topology into a powerful field essential to all mathematics and physics, posed the Poincaré conjecture, a tantalizing puzzle that speaks to the possible shape of the universe. For more than a century, the conjecture resisted attempts to prove or disprove it. Donal O'Shea's "The Poincare Conjecture: In Search of the Shape of the Universe" is about Henri Poincare's conjecture, which is "central to our understanding of ourselves and the universe in which we live." The book is written for "the curious individual who remembers a little high school geometry.".
