So what is the Poincare' Conjecture anyway. The polymath who started it all: H. Poincare' Wikipedia Since it was proposed by polymath H. Poincare' in 1904, who sought to mathematically define the ...

The Poincare Conjecture was one of seven fiendishly difficult problems that had $1 million Clay prizes associated with their solution, and to explain it to us, we have with us Parameshwaran ...

The Poincare Conjecture makes a corresponding statement about the three-dimensional sphere, a concept that is a stretch for the non-mathematician to visualise.

MILLENNIUM PRIZE SERIES: The Millennium Prize Problems are seven mathematics problems laid out by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. They’re not easy – a correct solution to any one ...

The Clay Mathematics Institute is offering a million dollars for a solution to the Poincaré conjecture, and Grisha Perelman may have found one. What is the conjecture, and why does it matter?

The Poincaré Conjecture says, Hey, you’ve got this alien blob that can ooze its way out of the hold of any lasso you tie around it? Then that blob is just an out-of-shape ball. [Grigory ...

The conjecture is named for French mathematician and physicist Henri Poincare, who proposed it in 1904. An analogous conjecture was proved for spaces of more than three dimensions over 20 years ago.

Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman has turned down a $1 million prize for proving the century-old Poincaré conjecture, one of the world’s most difficult math problems.

The Clay Mathematics Institute announces today that Dr. Grigoriy Perelman of St. Petersburg, Russia, is the recipient of the Millennium Prize for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture.
