    A long four-part paper by the Japanese mathematician S. Mochizuki

    (The majority of specialists abroad appear to remain unconvinced.)

    In an accompanying explanatory paper:

    Mochizuki relates his proof concept to the textbook computation of the
    famous definite integral INT(EXP(-x^2), x, -inf, inf). Reading the
    review in ยง1 may be a good way to unlearn how to compute the integral.
