Paraphrased correctly? Original source material: "D.H.J. Polymath, an Internet-based collaborative problem-solving project of mathematicians, began life on the blog of Timothy Gowers, a University of Cambridge winner of the Fields Medal, mathematics' most coveted prize. In a blog post in January 2009, Gowers asked whether spontaneous online collaborations could crack hard mathematical problems—and if they could do so in the open, laying the creative process out for the world to see. Web-based scientific collaborations and even "crowdsourcing" are now common, but this one would be different. In typical online collaborations, scientists each perform a small amount of research that contributes to a larger project, Gowers pointed out. In some cases, citizen-scientists such as bird-watchers or amateur astronomers collectively can make significant contributions. For a first experiment, Gowers chose the so-called density Hales-Jewett theorem. This problem, Gowers says, is akin to "playing a sort of solitaire tic-tac-toe and trying to lose." Mathematicians have known since 1991 that the theorem was true, but the existing proof used sophisticated tools from other branches of math. Gowers challenged his blog's readers to help him find a more elementary proof, a problem generally considered quite hard. The project took off a lot faster than Gowers expected. Within six weeks, he announced a solution." Your roommate wrote: In 2009, award-winning mathematician Timothy Gowers blogged about a new way to solve difficult mathematical problems. An article by Davide Castelvecchi1 describes how Gowers proposed leveraging the power of the Internet by inviting interested mathematicians to participate in "spontaneous online collaborations" and post responses via the web to a difficult problem on his blog. Besides solving problems, another goal Gowers wanted to achieve through this experiment was to show online the actual problem-solving processes that advanced mathematicians might use. In a sense, it is as if the online project allows interested parties from across the world to look into the classroom of gifted mathematicians and watch them at work. 1. Davide Castelvecchi.
