Is it possible to deduce the shape of a drum from the sounds it makes? This is the kind of question that Iosif Polterovich, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Université de Montréal, likes to ask. Polterovich uses spectral geometry, a branch of mathematics, to understand physical phenomena involving wave propagation.

    Why is there an else here but not on the original site?

    Is it a proof if it’s “just” a computer program?

    Sorry if I missed something.

        Well here I can see the “else print proof failed” stuff, but it’s not there when I do click the image.
