MSNBC : That high school math problem with a page-long solution was a cakewalk compared to a recent mathematics answer that would ink an area the size of Manhattan if written out in small print.A total of 18 mathematicians and computer scientists from several countries worked for four years to successfully map the inner working of E8 âmdash; one of the most complicated structures in math, a 248-dimensional object. The findings were reported today by the American Institute of Mathematics.
