There was some precedent for doing this: In 1900 the mathematician David Hilbert proposed twenty-three problems that set much of the agenda for mathematics in the twentieth century. The Millennium Problems--chosen by a committee of the leading mathematicians in the world--are likely to acquire similar stature, and their solution (or lack of it) is likely to play a strong role in determining the course of mathematics in the twenty-first century. Keith Devlin, renowned expositor of mathematics and one of the authors of the Clay Institute's official description of the problems, here provides the definitive account for the mathematically interested reader. 202040 2002 The Millennium Problems total:51|5:2|4:25|3:13|2:9|1:2| 51 169 81 6 3 0 false false Mon Dec 03 17:54:21 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 11 20:53:52 -0800 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Dec 19 19:12:24 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 19:13:07 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu May 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 01:42:42 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 14:25:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jul 09 09:46:59 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 07:20:37 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Sat Mar 24 08:30:54 -0700 2007 Sat Mar 24 08:31:34 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Aug 25 09:17:03 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 09:19:26 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Sat Nov 21 16:39:30 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 16:39:45 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 16 19:45:32 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 19:45:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 18:23:19 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 18:23:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 05 22:06:13 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 22:06:13 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 12:39:33 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 12:39:33 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Wed Jan 31 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Sep 11 16:39:34 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 05:55:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 11 15:09:56 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 15:10:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 09:09:22 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 09:09:22 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Oct 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 27 14:53:13 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 14:53:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 27 14:33:12 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 14:33:12 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 31 10:35:57 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 10:07:51 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 10:35:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 29 04:42:41 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 04:42:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 02 04:27:02 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 04:27:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 16 07:55:02 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 07:55:21 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=208743
