140-year-old Math Problem Solved (math blog 1)

Who? mathematicians or anyone!!! The person who has solved the math problem was Professor Darren Crowdy

what? A math problem or formula. The formula called the Schwarz-Christoffel formula was made by to mathematicians in the 19th century. But in the formula there was a deficiency : it only worked for shapes that did not contain any holes or irregularities. Prfessor Darren Crowdy explians his answer:

"This formula is an essential piece of mathematical kit which is used the world over. Now, with my additions to it, it can be used in far more complex scenarios than before. In industry, for example, this mapping tool was previously inadequate if a piece of metal or other material was not uniform all over - for instance, if it contained parts of a different material, or had holes."

when? 140 years!!!! =O

where? At Imperial College London
