William Thurston

William Paul Thurston (October 30, 1946 – August 21, 2012) was an American mathematician. He was a pioneer in the field of low-dimensional topology and was awarded the Fields Medal for his contributions to the study of 3-manifolds in 1982. Thurston was a professor of mathematics at Princeton University, University of California, Davis, and Cornell University. He was also a director of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.

S. Hersonsky - Electrical Networks and Stephenson's Conjecture

The Riemann Mapping Theorem asserts that any simply connected planar domain which is not the whole of it, can be mapped by a conformal homeomorphism onto the open unit disk. After normalization, this map is unique and is called the Riemann mapping. In the 90's, Ken Stephenson, motivated by

Topology, Geometry and Life in Three Dimensions - with Caroline Series

If you imagine a three dimensional maze from which there is no escape, how can you map it? Is there a way to describe what all possible mazes look like, and how do mathematicians set about investigating them? Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe Caroline Series
