Extractions: OAS_AD('Top'); Russian May Have Solved Math Mystery Wednesday, January 07, 2004 Poincare Conjecture search OAS_AD('Middle'); Evidence has been mounting since November 2002 that Grigori "Grisha" Perelman has cracked the 100-year-old problem, which seeks to explain the geometry of three-dimensional space. Clay Mathematics Institute search ), formed to identify the world's seven toughest math problems. Mathematicians around the world have been checking Perelman's work in search of the kind of flaws that have sunk the many other supposed solutions to a problem first presented by the French mathematician Henri Poincare in 1904. University of Michigan search Perelman's work has advanced the furthest without falling apart, and there is optimism that it will ultimately hold up. "I don't think there's been a single example of a proof that has gotten this much attention and has withstood the scrutiny as it has so far," Kleiner said. Not since Princeton University researcher Andrew Wiles cracked the 350-year-old Fermat's Last Theorem a decade ago has the math world been so consumed with one problem. Perelman is a researcher at St. Peterburg-based Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Russian Academy. Colleagues describe him as brilliant and say he spent his formative years in the United States, then spent eight years quietly working in Russia without publishing any of his works in science journals.

Pannu I am Manager - Online Marketing at http://www.seorank.com Mathematics is the science of using numbers, sets of points and various abstract elements and symbols to calculate the measurement, properties and relationships of quantities. Throughout history, the goal of mathematics education has been to develop accurate and logical thinking in individuals so they can apply their newly gained knowledge to solving all kinds of problems. Math is therefore an important course of educational study, especially in preparing college students for careers in business, engineering, medicine, psychology and the various sciences. This section provides resources that focus on unsolved mathematical problems and the possible solutions and generalizations that can be formulated about them. Get more exposure, list your site

Extractions: Geometry algorithms and computer graphics uses a lot of math, and many algorithms books assume the reader has some knowledge of basic math (geometry, algebra, trig, etc). The books on this page are not about algorithms; instead they give this math background and more, especially about geometry. Four Colors Suffice: How the Map Problem Was Solved Average Customer Review: New: List: The four-color conjecture, formulated in 1852, was among the most popular unsolved problems in mathematics. It stated that only four country colors are needed in any map so that neighboring countries are always colored differently. The first correct proof was completed in 1976 using a computer to verify almost 2000 special irreducible cases. This book describes the history of this problem, and its solution. Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulas (31st Edition) Buy Used from: This is an essential (and reasonably priced) reference work that puts a wealth of well-organized math formulas and tables at your finger tips. It has extensive coverage of discrete math, trigonometry, geometry, linear algebra, calculus, special functions, numerical methods, probability, and statistics.

Extractions: from the April 10, 2003 edition - http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0410/p19s02-bogn.html The sum of four prime books on mathematics By Frederick Pratter The history of the physical sciences is filled with dead ends. No chemist today would try to create a new compound from the four ancient elements of earth, air, fire, and water. Deep space probes to the outermost reaches of the solar system have found no evidence of revolving crystalline spheres with the earth at the center. Mathematics, by contrast, is a steady progression. What was true for Euclid more than two millenniums ago is still true today. In this way, mathematics is its own history. For evidence of this, one need only turn to a recent sample of books that attempt the unenviable task of explaining modern math to the popular reader. A good place to start is Keith Devlin's The Millennium Problems, an account of seven puzzles, the solution to which is worth a cool million each. Before you leap to pick up a pencil and paper, though, it would be well to read this remarkable effort to explain exactly what is involved. Devlin is doubly qualified as the "Math Guy" from NPR's Weekend Edition and the author of numerous previous books on mathematics. Nonetheless, the job of describing these problems in understandable terms is far from easy. The scope of modern mathematics has become so complex and far-reaching that many professional mathematicians are not exactly clear about what each of these enigmas may mean. Devlin does a superb job trying, though, and his account is both fascinating and accessible to any reader who can remember some high school math.

One of the most basic problems in vision is to use images to recognize that a particular object or event that weve never seen before belongs to a particular class of objects or events. To do this we must have a rich notion of what an object is, that can capture what is common in them. For example, chairs vary tremendously in their shape and material properties. How do we look at a chair weve never seen before and identify it as a chair? Accounting for this variation in recognition is largely an unsolved problem. In this course we will survey a number of approaches to representing and recognizing objects. We will draw inspiration by looking at work from philosophy, psychology, linguistics, and mathematics.

In Prime Obsession , John Derbyshire deals brilliantly with both Riemann's life and that problem: proof of the conjecture, "All non-trivial zeros of the zeta function have real part one-half." Though the statement itself parses as nonsense to anyone but a mathematician, Derbyshire walks readers through the decades of reasoning that led to the Riemann Hypothesis in such a way as to clear it up perfectly. Riemann himself never proved the statement, and it remains unsolved to this day. Prime Obsession offers alternating chapters of step-by-step math and a history of 19th-century European intellectual life, letting readers take a breather between chunks of well-written information. Derbyshire's style is accessible but not dumbed-down, thorough but not heavy-handed. This is among the best popular treatments of an obscure mathematical idea, inviting readers to explore the theory without insisting on page after page of formulae.

Extractions: As a logic graduate student who really loved Infinite Jest, once I heard this book existed, I had to read it. In particular, I wanted to see if DFW had gotten anything out of his one year of philosophy study at Harvard. It seems like he got something out of that year certainly, but not real philosophical/mathematical rigor. I definitely recommend reading this book if youre a fan of his fiction and havent done any math beyond calculus, but the more math youve done and the less you like his fiction, the less youll enjoy this book. But whenever he switched back to a more philosophical stance from a mathematical one, he was much more on top of things. And if you like his style, then this books for you. But after youve read it, Id also recommend reading a reputable book on the subject to get some of the mathematical facts straight. If you understood them that is, rather than just reading it as a work of art, which seems fairly appropriate.
Extractions: Customer Reviews I agree with the previous reviewer that Sabagh's book is about as helpful and fascinating as a book for laymen can be on the subject of Riemann. I read Prime Obsession as well and, yes, that book is incredible. Really. But, believe it or not, there are math morons like myself who found even sections of that book impenetrable. I recommend reading both because, indeed, Sabagh does not go as deep into the Hypothesis as Derbyshire does; but Sabagh draws up some truly nice metaphors (the street addresses)and, I think, tells some fascinating yarns about the atmosphere and characters surrounding the problem today (he is not as concerned with the history of the problem as Derbyshire in Prime Obsession and De Sautoy in the Music of the Primes). At any rate, my gut feeling is that most math moronsI feel your pain, believe mewill take a lot away from this book. I know I did, and am consequently tickled pink that it exists. Look for related books on other categories Numbers, Prime

Extractions: This is a fascinating and very well-written book about a singular problem in mathematics history. Derbyshire presents a look at the history of the Riemann hypothesis (or is it "conjecture"? Derbyshire asks, as an aside, what the real difference is between the two, in mathematical terminology) the people and their political context as well as the equation and efforts to prove it. As a blessing to those of us who are not hard-core mathematicians, Derbyshire takes the approach of alternating chapters between (even numbered chapters) math and (odd chapters) people and context. This gives the effect of telling two intimately linked stories simultaneously, and keeping the reader in just a bit of suspense in each while telling the other. I found myself enjoying each of the two tales, yet impatient to see where the other was going next. Derbyshire's style of writing is thoroughly entertaining, as well. His personality comes through as someone who is a "fan" of math. In "Peanuts", the late, great Charles Shultz has Lucy commenting to Schroeder that Beethoven couldn't have been so great, because he never had his picture on bubble-gum cards. It is apparent that if there was ever a set of mathematical gurus bubble-gum cards, Derbyshire would have been a collector. His admiration for genius only added to my enjoyment of the book.
