俄天才數(shù)學家拒領百萬大獎

       The Poincaré Conjecture was first posed by the French mathematician, Jules Henri Poincaré, in 1904, and seeks to understand the shape of the universe by linking shapes, spaces and surfaces.

　　龐加萊猜想最先由法國數(shù)學家亨利?龐加萊于1904年提出，是一個關于三維空間形狀的問題。

　　Friends say that evidence of Dr Perelman's innate modesty came when - having finally solved the problem after more than 10 years' work - he simply posted his conclusion on the internet, rather than publishing his explanation in a recognised journal. "If anybody is interested in my way of solving the problem, it's all there - let them go and read about it," said Dr Perelman. "I have published all my calculations. This is what I can offer the public."

　　朋友們說，佩雷爾曼特有的謙虛表現(xiàn)在，經(jīng)過十年的工作最終破解龐加萊猜想后，他只是將研究成果放在網(wǎng)上，而不是發(fā)表在一些權威雜志上。“如果有人對我的研究方法感興趣，它們都在那里了 --- 讓他們去讀吧。”佩雷爾曼說，“我已經(jīng)公開了我所有的計算步驟，這是我能向公眾提供的全部。”
