"This is the
fascinating story of one of the most alluring and treacherous
problems in all of mathematical history. So many superb
mathematicians were sucked in by it, staking their careers on
attempts to solve it. So many announced their erroneous proofs,
only to suffer the consequences. And Perelman, the outsider,
overcomes what no one else could. The math community rejoices and he
turns his back. What a tale!" Colin Adams, Williams College
I am a journalist for
the Swiss daily "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" and its
weekly Sunday edition "NZZ am Sonntag". My beat
is Israel and the Middle East. But because I was trained
as a mathematician I also do science reporting. On this web site I also present my previous books "Kepler's
Conjecture" and "Secret Life of Numbers"
