Swedish Student Partly Solves 16th Hilbert Problem
An anonymous reader writes "Swedish media report that 22-year-old Elin Oxenhielm, a student at Stockholm University, has solved a chunk of one of the major problems posed to 20th century mathematics, Hilbert's 16th problem.
Norwegian Aftenposten has an English version of the reports."
You solved the whole thing or you got an F.
Uh, sorry. Thought I was on fark for a second.
Seriosly though, a hot Swedish mathematician? That's so much like my dreams it's scary.

Yeah, and he had this group of construction worker buddies he would hand out in bars with. He had a great mind, but he was abused as a child and couldn't express intimate emotions. He solves this problem on the board, and the next hting he knows the math professor really wants him to work on problems together. Then Robin Williams shows up and...oh, wait a minute.
Just kidding ... these are perfectly reasonable stories. But I'm still a bit surprised. But then, slashdot readers don't disappoint. They immediately honed in on Turing's sexuality and the student's physical attributes. Math, what math?
Mencken had it right. So glad that's old news.

looks like a chalkboard to me...
oh well.
I'm impressed by the sweedish girls at Stockholm University.

It's a chick who solved it
Math chicks always get me hot. And she is one hot math chick.
I'd love to estimate the area under her curves.
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
To hell with estimating, I'd rather have a firm grasp on the number.
Endless arguments over trivial contradictions in books written by ignorant savages to explain thunder in the dark.
I believe it'll remain imaginary for you...
I wonder how many people read the article only because of this post here.
I know I did.

I wanted to read the responses to this article because I thought that maybe one Slashdotter could give a qualified explanation of Hilbert's 16th problem, and maybe even explain something about the partial solution. That was possible back when Andrew Wiles proved his theorem, you know.
And look at this, not a single post even gets started on the subject! At least not when you browse at +2, like I do. But we're all standing around slobbering over the thought of a hot Swedish math babe! And so am I!
Hey Taco, can we get this gal for an Ask Slashdot interview? She could explain her theorem, and tell us something about her lingerie.
Always keep a sapphire in your mind
What are you an idiot?!? Haven't you seen any teen love movies? Geek chicks always turn out super hot!! All you need to do is take of the glasses, let down her hair and unbutton her shirt a little.
Glasses? check
Long hair in bun? check check
Dowdy, boyish outfit? check check eheck!!!!
She is the trifecta! MAN SHE IS RIPE FOR THE TAKING!!!!
If you can't see that, well, then that's just sad.
