Wow, I must have been really drunk last night, cause I don't even remember posting this thread.

Sorry about this Haken. I am told that I even posted this thread twice at the same time, and in the wrong place. I don't know how it got into the news thread. As to anyone who feels like punishing me for this lousy thread, I accept all punishment as duly deserved. thank you.
I am a maniac, Hi.

LOL, sometimes it's fun to look back on old, drunken, forgotten threads.

Hmmm, why do stories of drunkenness immediately sound funny? I don't know the answer but, that . . . points upward . . . was funny.

A mathematician who specialized in topology, in particular 3-manifolds.

In 1976 together with colleague Kenneth Appel at the University of Illinois in Urbana, Illinois, Haken solved one of the most famous problems in mathematics, the four-color theorem. They proved that any two-dimensional map, with certain limitations, can be filled in with four colors without any adjacent "countries" sharing the same color.

Haken has introduced several important ideas, including Haken manifolds, Kneser-Haken finiteness, and an expansion of the work of Kneser into a theory of normal surfaces. Much of his work has an algorithmic aspect, and he is one of the influential figures in algorithmic topology. One of his key contributions to this field is an algorithm to detect if a knot is unknotted.
