Poincaré Project

This is an experiment to put my blog posts from

http://jtauber.com/poincare_project/

into a git repository to track history, allow people to file issues, fork and make pull requests.

The repository is available at

https://github.com/journeymanofsome/poincare_project

I’m porting over one post at a time into Sphinx and publishing them to

http://poincare-project.readthedocs.org/

Here is how I described the original content on my blog:

I am currently working through the mathematics required to understand the Poincaré Conjecture and the possible solution recently proposed. I want to blog my journey and I started out summarising the basic foundations of pure mathematics necessary to get to the conjecture-specific parts. Now that I’ve got to explaining the conjecture, posts are about the background in differential geometry to understand the proofs.

This is a flat list of the posts converted so far. Lots more to come then I’ll look and structuring them a little more.

• Thinking Like a Pure Mathematician
• Adding Structure to Sets
• Metric Spaces
• Open Balls and Continuity
• Open Sets
• Topologies and Topological Spaces
• Injections, Surjections and Bijections
