Inhaltsangabe

In 2007, Tao started his current web log, posting results of his research, other recent developments in mathematics, lecture notes, puzzles, articles, and, you know, blog stuff. Selections from the first year have already been published. By 2008, the selections had grown to two volumes, of which the first has already appeared. This second volume focuses on geometry, topology, and partial differential equations. Most of it is devoted to lecture notes from his course on French mathematician Jules Henri Poincaré's (1854-1912) conjecture, recently solved by Perelman. Other topics include Hassell's proof of scarring for the Bunimovich stadium, concentration compactness and the profile decomposition, and an airport-inspired puzzle. Graduate students and researchers in mathematics should be able to follow the discussion. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Terence Tao was the winner of the 2014 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. He is the James and Carol Collins Chair of mathematics at UCLA and the youngest person ever to be promoted to full professor at the age of 24. In 2006 Tao became the youngest ever mathematician to win the Fields Medal. His other honours include the George Polya Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2010), the Alan T Waterman Award from the National Science Foundation (2008), the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize (2006), the Clay Research Award from the Clay Mathematical Institute (2003), the Bocher Memorial Prize from the American Mathematical Society (2002) and the Salem Prize (2000).
