	PlanetMath: William Timothy Gowers
		William Timothy Gowers (born 1963) English mathematician, Fellow of the Royal Society.
		Gowers has Erdős number 4: he collaborated with Maurey in 1989, who collaborated with Lindenstrauss in 1996, who collaborated with Preiss in 1976, who collaborated with Erdős in 1976.
		This is version 4 of William Timothy Gowers, born on 2006-09-16, modified 2006-09-20.

	William Timothy Gowers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		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.

	TU Berlin - Medieninformation Nr. 182e - 18. August 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.

	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.

	EMS Prizes
		In a different direction, his results on partial differential equations, in particular on flame propagation and combustion, are very significant.
		William Timothy Gowers' work has made the geometry of Banach spaces look completely different.
		To mention some of his spectacular results: he solved the notorious Banach hyperplane problem, to find a Banach space which is not isomorphic to any of its hyperplanes.
