Two mathematicians now say they’ve made progress on a very old unsolved math problem. The problem involves a subfield called geometric measure theory, in which sets of objects are generalized in an advanced way using properties like diameter and area. According to the duo’s recent research (which is not yet peer reviewed), it turns out that examining things through the lens of geometry can shake loose other interesting qualities that objects may share, which has high value in the increasingly inter-subdisciplinary field of mathematics.
