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:

    Nearest to all things is that power which fashions their being. Next to us the grandest laws are constantly being executed. Next to us is not the workman whom we have hired, with whom we love so well to talk, but the workman whose work we are.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A man’s got to work for more than himself and his kids to feel right.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
