Henri Poincare formulated his Conjecture in 1904 that promised to describe the very shape of the universe, but remained unproved until a huge prize was offered for its solution in 2000. This book explains the maths behind the Conjecture and its proof, and illuminates various personalities surrounding this perplexing conundrum.
