Book Description:
|
For over 100 years the Poincare Conjecture, which proposes a topological characterization of the 3-sphere, has been the central question in topology. Since its formulation, it has been repeatedly attacked, without success, using various topological methods. This book provides details of a complete proof of the Poincare Conjecture.
