The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is a book providing an extensive overview of mathematics that was published in 2008 by Princeton University Press.Edited by Timothy Gowers with associate editors June Barrow-Green and Imre Leader, it has been noted for the high caliber of its contributors.
The project began in January 2009 on Timothy Gowers's blog when he posted a problem and asked his readers to post partial ideas and partial progress toward a solution. [1] This experiment resulted in a new answer to a difficult problem, and since then the Polymath Project has grown to describe a particular crowdsourcing process of using an ...
But Timothy Gowers, who is a director of research in mathematics at the University of Cambridge and a past winner of the Fields Medal—a prize that is awarded only once every four years to two to ...
In mathematics, Gowers' theorem, also known as Gowers' Ramsey theorem and Gowers' FIN k theorem, is a theorem in Ramsey theory and combinatorics. It is a Ramsey-theoretic result about functions with finite support. Timothy Gowers originally proved the result in 1992, [1] motivated by a problem regarding Banach
Discrete Analysis was created by Timothy Gowers to demonstrate that a high-quality mathematics journal could be inexpensively produced outside of the traditional academic publishing industry. [1] [2] The journal is open access, and submissions are free for authors. The journal's 2018 MCQ is 1.21. [3]
Professor Timothy Gowers has called this "one of the best known open problems in combinatorics" and has said that the conjecture "feels as though it ought to be easy (and as a result has attracted a lot of false proofs over the years). A good way to understand why it isn't easy is to spend an afternoon trying to prove it.
The Forum of Mathematics, an open access journals co-created by Timothy Gowers, was the first publication to explicitly claim to be a diamond journal: "For the first three years of the journal, Cambridge University Press will waive the publication charges. So for three years the journal will be what Marie Farge (who has worked very hard for a ...
