We give a brief summary of some of our work and our joint work with Stephan Tillmann on solving Thurstons equation and Haken equation on triangulated 3-manifolds in this paper. Several conjectures on the existence of solutions to Thurstons equation and Haken equation are made. Resolutions of these conjecture will lead to a new proof of the Poincar conjecture without using the Ricci flow. We approach these conjectures by a finite dimensional variational principle so that its critical points are related to solutions to Thurstons gluing equation and Hakens normal surface equation. The action functional is the volume. This is a generalization of an earlier program by Casson and Rivin for compact 3-manifolds with torus boundary.
