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

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 Poincaré Conjecture was originally proposed by Henri Poincaré in 1904 and deals with the topology of everyday objects, namely what, in topological terms, defines a sphere.

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.
