Swedish Student Partly Solves 16th Hilbert Problem

Posted by timothy on from the my-calculator-is-broken dept.

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."

    Does anyone notice that her pants are partially pulled down? By this observation, I can conclude that she must have had some....help... from a professor, perhaps? *wink wink*

    OK, female genius mathematician, and the word "Hilbert". Anyone else make this free-associative long-jump?

    To get the full text of the article you must apparently have a subscription of pay a $30 fee.

    $30?!? For that much I'd better get the hot swedish mathematician herself explaining it to me over my shoulder with nice perfume and wearing one of those push-up bras which are visible because she hasn't done up all the buttons on her shirt...

    Okay. $50, and that's my final offer.

    Fine. $75. But I get her for the whole hour!
