[Assam] Historic Math problem solved -CNN

[Roy, Santanu]

It is indeed a landmark event. Some more interesting details about the
mathematicians involved and the problem itself (Poincare's conjecture)
were contained in a New York times article "Elusive proof, elusive
prover" last week: 

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/15/science/15math.html

 

You need to be registered with NYT to get that article from the website.
If you are interested and cannot download it, I'll be happy to send it
to you. 

Santanu.
