	Fields Medal Prize Winners -- 1998
		Gowers has been able to utilise complicated mathematical constructions to prove some of the conjectures of the Polish mathematician Stefan Banach (1892-1945), including the problem of "unconditional bases".
		Gowers' contribution also opened the way to the solution of one of the most famous problems in functional analysis, the so-called "homogeneous space problem".
		A year ago, Gowers attracted attention in the field of combination analysis when he delivered a new proof for a theorem of the mathematician Emre Szemeredi which is shorter and more elegant than the original line of argument.

	William Timothy Gowers
		William Timothy Gowers has provided important contributions to functional analysis, making extensive use of methods from combinatorial theory.
		Gowers has been able to utilize complicated mathematical constructions to prove some of the conjectures of the Polish mathematician Stefan Banach (1892-1945), including the problem of "unconditional bases." Banach was an eccentric, preferring to spend his time in the café rather than in his office in the University of Lvov.
		William Timothy Gowers (born 20 November 1963) is lecturer at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Cambridge University and Fellow of Trinity College.

	Penn State Eberly College of Science -- Marker Lectures in the Mathematical Sciences 2002
		William Timothy Gowers, the Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University in England, a Fellow at Trinity College in England, and a visiting professor at Princeton University, will present the 2002 Russell Marker Lectures in the Mathematical Sciences from 11 to 14 March 2002 on the Penn State University Park Campus.
		Recently, Gowers delivered a new proof in the field of combinatorial analysis for a theorem of the mathematician Emre Szemeredi that is shorter and more elegant than the original--a feat requiring extremely deep mathematical understanding.
		Gowers has been able to construct a Banach space that has almost no symmetry, shedding light on a key question for mathematicians and physicists concerning the inner structure of these spaces.

	Read This: Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction
		Timothy Gowers is an eminent mathematician, a Fields medalist and currently the Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
		In other words, while Gowers' introduction does give a personal point of view on the nature of mathematics, it is a carefully considered and credible take on the subject.
		In the introduction, Gowers explains that while he does not assume the reader has much more than a high school education in mathematics, he does assume that the reader is interested.

	Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction
		Gowers does none of those, although he does touch on the history and philosophy of mathematics.
		Gowers sidesteps rather than resolves philosophical problems, thus giving reassurance to mathematicians and irritation to philosophers.
		Incidentally, here's something that stumps me. Gowers says "[t]here may not be any high-dimensional [i.e., more than three] space lurking in the universe, but...." But I thought higher-dimensional space is what superstring theory is all about.

	Numbers crunched - 08 February 2003 - New Scientist
		TIMOTHY Gowers has the task of covering the whole of mathematics in a truly pocket-sized book, part of a series whose subject matter ranges from a single person to an entire religion.
		Once you have abstracted the relevant properties from real physical objects, it's comparatively easy to extend the rules to deal with hard-to-visualise entities such as irrational and imaginary numbers, fractional dimensions and curved spaces, not to mention 26-dimensional shapes.
		After introducing the concepts of modelling, abstraction and rigorous proof, Gowers touches on infinity, explains the importance of estimation and approximation and answers a few frequently asked questions about mathematicians.

	2005-2006 Milliman Lectures
		Before Gowers' work, most mathematicians would have viewed these as being unrelated, but Gowers has shown otherwise, to great success: in 1998 he was awarded a Fields Medal.
		When Gowers began working on Banach spaces, many of the most important problems were rather old, dating from the work of the eponymous Polish mathematician Stefan Banach (1892-1945).
		He has also studied extremal graph theory, improving on another of Szemerédi's results, his regularity lemma: Gowers showed that what appeared in the lemma to be a very weak lower bound was in fact tight.

		Alasdair writes that I have misrepresented Gowers' point of view as "Wittgensteinian".
		Gowers writes > I should confess that I am a fan of the later Wittgenstein, and I broadly agree with > his statement that "the meaning of a word is its use in the language".
		Anyway, a careful reading of the dialogue against Gowers' other work, show the three characters represent sides to his own thinking (as with all good dialogues, which should resemble an internal debate).

		The unboundedness of the integers by Timothy Gowers
		Why isn't it just obvious that the integers form an unbounded subset of the real numbers?
		This example shows that it is not wholly obvious that the integers are unbounded in R. Any proof must use the completeness axiom in some form, because otherwise it will not distinguish between R and the ordered field F just constructed in which the integers are bounded.
