FORTUNE AND GLORY...SOME UNSOLVED PROBLEMS
IN MATHEMATICS THAT WILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS!!
Jim Coykendall
Department of Mathematics
Most people on the street think that mathematics is
"finished"...that is all of the problems out there are basically
solved. This could not be further from the truth. Not only are there a
host of classical unsolved problems in mathematics, but almost every step
of new progress gives rise to new and deeper questions.
In this talk we will introduce some open problems in mathematics
of interest to mathematicians around the world. Solving the problems that
will be posed will buy you instant fame in the world of mathematics (and
possibly more) so be sure to show up with a pencil and paper!!
