Abc Conjecture - Numberphile
The abc Conjecture may have been proven by a Japanese mathematician - but what is it? More links & stuff in full description below ↓↓↓ Feeling brave and want to read the papers by Shinichi...
==========
A proof has been announced of a unsolved, so far, conjecturecalled the abc Conjecture.If this proof is right, then it's going to be news on thescale of Fermat's last theorem was in the '90s, which wasthis big unsolved problem.And was this huge event.So it's really exciting.We don't know if this proof is right yet, so a Japanesemathematician called Mochizuki has released these papers, andaltogether, it's 500 pages long.He's been working on this for a very long time.He's come up with his own theory of maths-- a whole newbody of maths--and he's called it interuniversal geometry.I know nothing about that.Very few people do.Even the experts don't know much about this at the moment.So it&...
