19. Apr. 2024 · William Paul Thurston (born October 30, 1946, Washington, D.C., U.S.—died August 21, 2012, Rochester, New York) was an American mathematician who won the 1982 Fields Medal for his work in topology. Thurston was educated at New College, Sarasota, Florida (B.A., 1967), and the University of California, Berkeley (Ph.D., 1972).

2. Mai 2024 · Die Folge ist echt vorperiodisch für abzählbar viele Parameter, die oft Misiurewicz-Thurston-Punkte genannt werden (nach Michał Misiurewicz und William Thurston). Dazu gehören die „Antennenspitzen“ wie der Punkt = ganz links und Verzweigungspunkte der Mandelbrot-Menge.
27. Apr. 2024 · As mathematician William Thurston (1994, 175) has pointed out, mathematicians “prove things in a certain context and address them to a certain audience.” It seems fair to say that a proof aims to secure the adherence of the audience to whom it is addressed, since a purported proof is accepted as a proof by the mathematical ...

29. Apr. 2024 · In the late 1970s, American mathematician William Thurston introduced hyperbolic geometry into knot theory through the hyperbolization theorem. Deep connections were found between knot theory and mathematical techniques in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics through research by Vaughan Jones, Edward Witten, Maxim ...
29. Apr. 2024 · Grigori Perelman (born 1966, U.S.S.R.) is a Russian mathematician who was awarded—and declined—the Fields Medal in 2006 for his work on the Poincaré conjecture and Fields medalist William Thurston’s geometrization conjecture. In 2003, Perelman had left academia and apparently had abandoned mathematics. He was the first ...
3. Mai 2024 · Definitions of orbifold have been given several times: by Ichirō Satake in the context of automorphic forms in the 1950s under the name V-manifold; [1] by William Thurston in the context of the geometry of 3-manifolds in the 1970s [2] when he coined the name orbifold, after a vote by his students; and by André Haefliger in the 1980s in the conte...
25. Apr. 2024 · William Thurston's work has had a profound influence on mathematics. He connected whole mathematical subjects in entirely new ways and changed the way mathematicians think about geometry, topology, foliations, group theory, dynamical systems, and the way these areas interact. His emphasis on understanding and imagination in ...
