...What to See All over the city, the old has become new again, from the Philadelphia Museum of Art's recently renovated Perelman Building - currently showing exhibitions on Matisse and African-American quilts - to the Pantheon-like Ritz-Carlton, housed in the refitted century-old Girard Trust bank. America's past also gets a fresh approach at the National Constitution Center, a high-tech temple to the country's cornerstone legal document. On Jan. 19 - Martin Luther King Day - the center opens "America I AM," an exhibition celebrating the contributions of African Americans to U.S. history. Among the artifacts...
...conversation then quickly turns to one of their most popular topics of discussion: Professor Gaitsgory. This is his first year teaching Math 55 and his students admire him in a Grigory Perelman-meets-Chuck Norris kind...
...including those dedicated to scientific research—have an incredible capacity to self-regulate.Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman’s recent online publication of a proof of the Poincaré conjecture—a century-old question of fundamental importance in topology, the solution to which won Perelman a Fields Medal—is an iconic example of the unlimited possibilities in open online science. Perelman’s proof never underwent the trials of a typical peer-review process, but expert mathematicians have scrutinized his work to such an extent that it is widely considered to be correct...
Unconscionably, the editors fail to mention the most prominent experiment in web-only publishing, called the “arXiv” (www.arxiv.org). This, in fact, is where Grigory Perelman placed his proof of the Poincaré conjecture...
...Nasar’s story appeared in the magazine in late August. In it, she and her co-writer, David Gruber, intimated that Yau was a slippery opportunist, not-so-vaguely accusing him of conspiring to seize credit for solving the Conjecture even though a reclusive Russian named Grigory Perelman had done it first. According to the article, Perelman had posted a solution to the Poincare online, without even bothering to formally publish in an accredited math journal. The luminaries of the profession, according to the piece, all agreed that Perelman had done it. The International Mathematical Union had even...
