Later Work
Later results, particularly of Alan Baker, changed the position. Weaker theorems, qualitatively speaking, but with explicit constants, can actually be applied, in conjunction with machine computation, to prove that lists of solutions (suspected to be complete) are actually the entire solution set.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“It is fair to assume that when women in the past have achieved even a second or third place in the ranks of genius they have shown far more native ability than men have needed to reach the same eminence. Not excused from the more general duties that constitute the cement of society, most women of talent have had but one hand free with which to work out their ideal conceptions.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Let us work without theorizing, ‘tis the only way to make life endurable.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
