This is excellent. When the maths hits your eye like a big pizza π.

If you cut the crust off a pizza pie and lay it across four others. You’ll see that the crust spans a little more than 3 pies. That’s Pi ≈ 3.14.

New from @EricaKlarreich: Yuansi Chen, a postdoctoral statistician, has essentially solved the KLS conjecture, a 25-year-old question about high-dimensional shapes that the world’s best geometers had nearly given up on. quantamagazine.org/statistic…

Statistics Postdoc Tames Decades-Old Geometry Problem

To the surprise of experts in the field, a postdoctoral statistician has solved one of the most important problems in high-dimensional convex geometry.
