The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Hamilton is known for contributions to geometric analysis and partial differential equations, and particularly for developing the theory of Ricci flow.
- Hamilton introduced the Ricci flow in 1982 and, over the next decades, he developed a network of results and ideas for using it to prove the Poincaré conjecture and geometrization conjecture from the field of geometric topology.
- Hamilton's work on the Ricci flow was recognized with an Oswald Veblen Prize, a Clay Research Award, a Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research and a Shaw Prize.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Richard S. Hamilton article was read about 94,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
