In 1912 Dehn gave an algorithm that solves both the word and conjugacy problem for the fundamental groups of closed orientable two-dimensional manifolds of genus greater than or equal to 2 (the genus 0 and genus 1 cases being trivial). It is known that the conjugacy problem is undecidable for many classes of groups. Classes of group ...
Of the cleanly formulated Hilbert problems, numbers 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 18, 19, and 20 have resolutions that are accepted by consensus of the mathematical community. Problems 1, 2, 5, 6, [g] 9, 11, 12, 15, 21, and 22 have solutions that have partial acceptance, but there exists some controversy as to whether they resolve the problems.

Survey of sea island. Now we are surveying a sea island. Set up two 3-zhang poles at 1000 steps apart; let the two poles and the island be in a straight line. Step back from the front post 123 steps. With eye on ground level, the tip of the pole is on a straight line with the peak of island. Step back 127 steps from the rear pole. Eye on ground ...
