  • For those not willing to roll the dice that their mathematical discoveries will be important enough to earn one of these large cash rewards, there is good news. There are a number of specific math problems for which there is a cash bounty given to the first person to solve them. The most famous of these are the Millennium Prize Problems, a set of seven math problems worth $1 million each.

    I love how weird and esoteric, but also how simple to actually express the Riemann Conjecture is.
    "There's this special function; it takes inputs and spits out outputs, just like any function. We're interested in what inputs make it spit out zero. The conjecture says that every input that makes the function spit out zero is either a 'trivial' value (one of a well known family of answers), or, if there be any others, they must be found on a very specific line."
    It's that latter part that's the hard part to prove or disprove. All the 'hard parts' of the problem are wrapped up in the consequences of what the specific function we're looking at is... the actual function itself is relatively simple to state, but once you start fiddling with it, it ends up falling right into a sort of 'uncanny valley' of mathematical implications that make actually working with it fiendishly hard.
    One of two things could be proven: that there exists a non-trivial input that *isn't* on the special line, but that still spits out zero (probably just by finding one); or that it is impossible to find such a counter example (likely by some kind of proof by contradiction).
    It isn't immediately obvious from looking at the problem why it's so important or interesting. Weirdly, it turns out that, if we assume the Conjecture is true, it makes a whole *slew* of other extremely important unknown results (many of which involve prime numbers) effectively 'free'. In a sense, it's a lynchpin that could make or break a *bunch* of other really big-deal maths. This is one reason that a lot of people are *pretty* sure it has to be right, though again, it doesn't actually prove it.

      Yes!
      You may be interested in some of this man’s current work/research-
      Robert Edward Grant
      - I believe he already has a proof for the Riemann *hypothesis*, but as you mentioned it’s merely the key/lock or doorway, to a whole slew of new universal constants and understanding of the world around us.
      Funny thing about the prime numbers part is the pattern it creates, and the relationship between primes, means that almost all current prime number cryptology encryption and even quantum encryption methods will be essentially obsolete.
      (Part of why Robert has Not released everything he has found, is he had created/is working on a new method of encryption that can replace the now compromised methods)

      ​@HuheJass you really sent me down a rabbit hole with that name, but having now learned an enormous amount about Robert edward grant as well as having read numerous of his published papers in full, I feel confident in saying that unfortunately he is not the prodigy which he professes to be. Instead, his significant intellect seems to be tainted with some form of narcissism which results in him being far more confident in his conclusions than he has any right to be. His work on the great pyramid at giza as shown on his website is a prime example of this, showcasing numerous absurd conclusions and his paper on prime numbers is a demonstration in misguided intellectual narcissism.
      I was super excited to have found a new genius out there pushing the boundaries of science and humanity, however I can sadly assure anybody reading this that Robert edward grant is definitely not that person, and I wouldn't trust his cryptography nor any of his other inventions/discoveries/assertions in the slightest.
      Sorry to burst your bubble 😞 I am just as saddened as you are by this, I assure you.
      Edit: Oh, actually I looked even deeper, and he's just a straight up fraudster. Google his name + fraud to learn more, but yeah. Definitely not going to solve any of the millennium problems, is Robert edward grant, I can tell you that much. Lol.

    Props to Andrew Wiles for the Fermat conjecture proof. I was at a cricket match at university when a math student friend strolled up and said that he'd been at a lecture the previous day where it was delivered. (Yeah it had one problem: thanks Taylor for the fix.) I've read the paper and it sort of makes sense, but the Riemann zeta function is more than my medium brain can cope with. But if you look it up on the wiki machine, there are some lovely colorful graphs, which would make excellent poster gifts for nerds whichever holiday season they observe. (Oh, and read Simon Singh's book.)

      2. Take each log to a power of 4 yielding 2^4+3^4=5^4.
      3. Using the power rule of natural logs yields [(4x2)+(4x3)=(4x5)]=[8+12=20]
      4. Therefore Fermat's last theorem is negated. QED

One example of such problem is the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) this makes computation of the fourrier transform almost instante, whereas without this algorithm it is an untractable problem, and this is huge because this is so important in comunication, identification(Think medical exames), it is one of the top algorithms of XX century.

    The students get so confused just trying to understand the words that they never understand the actual principles.
    I took six semesters of math in high school and another 3 semesters in college. Because I went to what was basically an engineering school I had to use all that math in my major course even after those three semesters. I graduated (barely) but all I did was memorize. I knew which formulas to use in which situations.

    i guess P=?=NP problem could get some help with quantum computing, or eventually find some really basic problem that literally allows you to calculate the minimal possible time it takes to verify and minimal possible time to solve, if it says "everything", then just 1 thing that could disprove it would be enough, but then there's quantum computing which might completely mess up the way we currently think about time complexity

    Solving for the quadratic equation will tell you if there are rational number solutions for any given standard polynomial right? I'm not a serious mathematician but it seems to me like there should be an analysis equation for elliptical curves that could be reasonably quickly used to determine if the solutions to that curve are rational or non-real. Anyone feel free to tell me if I'm wildly off. That would solve that Birch Winnerton-Dyer conjecture.

The million dollar prize is advertising to raise the profile of mathematics as an academic discipline.

    The explanation of Navier Stokes is off, The navier Stoke equations are complete and fully describe the flow, there are even solution for them under certain caracteristics of laminar flow, however the problem stated wants to prove the existence of a smooth solution for an arbitrary velocity field globally. This is relevant because looking at fluid flow in reality we see no such smothness, we also can solve them computationally but energy scale has both small and large vortexes and proper solution requires a mesh small which if you actually count is a ridiculous ammount that there is no hope of solving on any computer today or near(even never for traditional computing) future. Ence usually simplified models are used.
