Nice! If I hadn't received it from triock earlier, I'd be all over this one. :) +1

Spinorial: Seems to me, the fringe mathematicians have more practically-applicable results, with the theory being mostly coined by the mainstays. Also, funny to hear Poincare referred to as "fringe" ;)

IAmSinistar: Aye, that's more on me than Henri. :) His work is definitely canon, it's just that some of the fields he touches on (non-Euclidean geometry, manifolds, chaos mathematics) are dear to the fringe. A brilliant pillar of mathematics wherever one regards him from, however.
Funnily enough, at this point, Euclidean geometry is far more of a "fringe" subject than the non-Euclidean stuff - hardly anything left to study there, much like classical point-set topology; one of the ironies of what people at various tiers of involvement with mathematics would consider fringe. Chaos, non-Euclidean, categories - these are very hot topics, largely on the fringes of the known, and therefore it's hard to find a mathematician who doesn't work on one of them :P

is it a permanent game or is it taken away after release like a beta?

Still got the key?

If you have, I'd like it, if you don't mind :-)

Is like a Demo, i think.

So true. I started out as a classicist - set theory, finite mathematics, Euclidean topology. But Poincare sectional attractors and Riemann manifolds became the gateway to the fringes for me. That does seem to be where most of the exciting work is happening, and those fields have indeed yielded many practical results.

I also enjoy game theory, provided I can indulge in the thought experiment side without too much of the statistical show-your-work side. I consider statistics to be a part of mathematics in the same way Christians consider Satan to be a part of Christianity. ;)

You've probably made some poor statistician feel really bad :( Especially, since he probably did so, already :P
Also, practical results are for politicians and grant applications XD
