High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In algebraic geometry, general elephant is an idiosyncratic name for a general element of the anticanonical system of a variety, introduced by Reid (1987). For 3-folds the general elephant problem (or conjecture) asks whether general elephants have at most du Val singularities; this has been proved in several cases. Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which combines techniques of abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with the language and the problems of geometry. It occupies a central place in modern mathematics and has multiple conceptual connections with such diverse fields as complex analysis, topology and number theory. Initially a study of polynomial equations in many variables, the subject of algebraic geometry starts where equation solving leaves off, and it becomes at least as important to understand the totality of solutions of a system of equations, as to find some solution; this leads into some of the deepest waters in the whole of mathematics, both conceptually and in terms of technique.
