Hilbert’s Third Problem (A Story of Threes)
- mrdmnd 12y agoSubmission statement: this is a remarkably accessible presentation (with hand-drawn diagrams!) on the concept of geometric invariants and their use in the proof of an early 20th century problem about equivalence between polyhedra.
- neaanopri 12y agoGreat writeup. Why is it on the MIT admissions website?
- mrdmnd 12y agoThe MIT Admissions website lets student bloggers write about essentially whatever they want - Lydia has written a number of excellent posts that are entirely unrelated to MIT admissions as well. In particular, this writeup is related to one of the MIT classes she's taking (a seminar in mathematics).
- bglazer 12y agoThis is excellent mathematical writing! I found it very approachable and superbly well researched.
