パンサー尾形貴弘が数学の難問を大真面目に解説する「笑わない数学」。今回は「ケプラー予想」。４００年かけてようやく証明された超難問とは！？天才たちの苦闘のドラマ！
「無限に広がる空間に同じ大きさの球を詰め込むとき、どんな方法であれば最もすき間が小さく、最も密度が大きくなるか？」。一見、簡単そうに見えるこの問題。１層目のくぼみに２層目の球を入れていく方法しかないように思えるが、それを数学的に証明するためには４００年もの歳月を必要とした。「フェルマーの最終定理」と並び、何世紀ものあいだ天才たちを悩ませた超難問は一体どんな問題なのか。証明に至るまでの苦闘のドラマ
"Mathematics without laughing" in which Takahiro Ogata explains the difficult problems of mathematics seriously. This time, it's the Kepler-Conjecture. Four hundred years later, what has finally been proven? The drama of the struggle of the geniuses!
“When you cram a ball of the same size into an infinite space, whichever way does the gap the smallest and the densest?” At first glance, this problem seems simple. It seems that there is only a way to put the second layer of the ball into the dent of the first layer, but it took four hundred years to prove it mathematically." What is the problem with the super-conundrum that has plagued geniuses for centuries, along with Fermat's Last Theorem? The drama of the struggle to prove
