Poincare Update

I do plan to get back to writing about the mathematics behind the Poincaré Conjecture. But I thought it remiss of me not to mention here the recent developments stemming from Grigory Perelman being awarded and declining the Fields Medal for his solution.

You can read more about it here:

Meanwhile I'll get back to the mathematics of it. I think the next installments will be about coordinate systems and the notion of a metric on a manifold.

UPDATE: next post

A link to the New Yorker article should probably be accompanied by a link to the letter from Yau's lawyer to Sylvia Nassar (and others). The letter claims that Yau is grossly misrepresented.
