| Abstract: |
This article explores the Erdős-Szekeres conjecture, a mathematical problem concerning geometric patterns in sets of points. The conjecture was proposed in 1935 and has been the focus of extensive research. Various mathematicians, including Tóth, Valtr, and Suk, have made significant contributions to proving the conjecture. Suk's proof is described as a moment of brilliance in applying the right tools. The article concludes with a quote from Erdős emphasizing the importance of an open mind in mathematics. [Extracted from the article] |
