Mathematics The Poincare Conjecture: In Search of the Shape of the Universe
Posted on 2010-04-13

Author: Donal O'Shea
Publisher: Walker & Company (2007) Binding: Hardcover, 304 pages pricer: $26.95 ISBN-10: 080271532X editorialreviews Henri Poincar¨¦ was one of the greatest mathematicians of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. He revolutionized the field of topology, which studies properties of geometric configurations that are unchanged by stretching or twisting. The Poincar¨¦ conjecture lies at the heart of modern geometry and topology, and even pertains to the possible shape of the universe. The conjecture states that there is only one shape possible for a finite universe in which every loop can be contracted to a single point. ? Poincar¨¦¡¯s conjecture is one of the seven ¡°millennium problems¡± that bring a one-million-dollar award for a solution. Grigory Perelman, a Russian mathematician, has offered a proof that is likely to win the Fields Medal, the mathematical equivalent of a Nobel prize, in August 2006. He also will almost certainly share a Clay Institute millennium award.? ? In telling the vibrant story of The Poincar¨¦ Conjecture, Donal O¡¯Shea makes accessible to general readers for the first time the meaning of the conjecture, and brings alive the field of mathematics and the achievements of generations of mathematicians whose work have led to Perelman¡¯s proof of this famous conjecture. failed checked failed checked checked checked checked checked failed
