Aug 14, 2017 at 3:30 comment added David Roberts To quote from the Times article: he has set about tackling one of the greatest challenges in maths: to produce a simple proof of the Feit-Thompson theorem, ... The theorem runs to 255 pages of densely argued text. Sir Michael ... has reduced it to 12 pages, simply explained. This week he sent it to 15 experts in the field and is waiting for their reaction. He knows he faces an army of sceptics. Even his own family think he would be better off enjoying a quiet retirement. But he cannot accept that age is an insuperable barrier.
