摘要

At the end of January 2009, Timothy Gowers embarked on what he later called "one of the most exciting six weeks of my mathematical life". Inspired by the online citizen-science movement, Gowers, a mathematician at the University of Cambridge, UK, posted an esoteric theorem on his blog and challenged his readers to prove it - together. Crowd-source your expertise, he urged them: "If a large group of mathematicians could connect their brains efficiently, they could perhaps solve problems very efficiently as well." They could. Within hours of the problem being posted, Gowers' blog was abuzz with back-and-forth brainstorming, as mathematicians chimed in with ideas and possible avenues of attack. Gowers had hoped for new insights, but even he was surprised that by March, after nearly 1,000 comments, he was able to declare the theorem proved. "The quite unexpected result - an actual solution to the problem -added an extra layer of excitement to the whole thing," he says. The proof was published1 under the collective pseudonym D. H. J. Polymath.
