Millennium Prize Problems

As Millennium problems is referred to in 2000 by the Clay Mathematics Institute ( CMI) in Cambridge (Massachusetts ) enumerated in a list of unsolved problems of mathematics. The Institute has offered a prize of one million dollars for solving one of the seven problems.

List of Issues

The list contains the following seven issues:

This Millennium list is in the tradition of the 100 years earlier on August 8, 1900 by German mathematician David Hilbert at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris established list of 23 previously unsolved problems in mathematics, the development of mathematics in the 20th century has essentially stimulated and promoted. The Riemann Hypothesis is to find the only problem on both lists.

Solutions

Poincaré conjecture

The Poincaré conjecture was proved in 2002 by Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman. For his pioneering work in 2006, he was awarded the Fields Medal, which he, however, refused ( as the first mathematician in history ). The Clay Institute recognized him in 2010 the prize of one million dollars, so he leaned but also decreases.
