The amazing story of one of the greatest math problems of all time and the reclusive genius who solved itIn the tradition of Fermats Enigma and Prime Obsession, George Szpiro brings to life the giants of mathematics who struggled to prove a theorem for a century and the mysterious man from St. Petersburg, Grigory Perelman, who fi nally accomplished the impossible. In 1904 Henri Poincar developed the Poincar Conjecture, an attempt to understand higherdimensional space and possibly the shape of the universe. The problem was he couldnt prove it. A century later it was named a Millennium Prize problem, one of the seven hardest problems we can imagine. Now this holy grail of mathematics has been found.Accessibly interweaving history and math, Szpiro captures the passion, frustration, and excitement of the hunt, and provides a fascinating portrait of a contemporary noblegenius.
