Abstract
The isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with three distinct principal curvatures were classified by Cartan in 1939. We give a new proof for this result by showing that every such hypersurface can be naturally identified with the flag space of a compact connected Moufang plane. Our approach also leads to a uniform and explicit description of these hypersurfaces.
