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]
She read mathematics at Clare College, Cambridge, completing the Mathematical Tripos in 2003. [3] She remained at Cambridge for graduate study, and completed her PhD there in 2008. Her dissertation, Arithmetic Structure in Sets of Integers, was supervised by Timothy Gowers.
