How much money could you win by proving a millennium problem?

The problems all have a $1 million prize awarded to whoever solves them.

Why can’t you win a Nobel Prize in math?

Nobel, an inventor and industrialist, did not create a prize in mathematics simply because he was not particularly interested in mathematics or theoretical science. (Probably as a result of this language, the physics prize has been awarded for experimental work much more often than for advances in theory.)

Why are the Millennium prize Problems important?

The Prizes were conceived to record some of the most difficult problems with which mathematicians were grappling at the turn of the second millennium; to elevate in the consciousness of the general public the fact that in mathematics, the frontier is still open and abounds in important unsolved problems; to emphasize …

What is the hardest math equation in history?

53 + 47 = 100 : simples? But those itching for their Good Will Hunting moment, the Guinness Book of Records puts Goldbach’s Conjecture as the current longest-standing maths problem, which has been around for 257 years. It states that every even number is the sum of two prime numbers: for example, 53 + 47 = 100.

How many of the 7 Millennium Prize Problems have been solved?

One of the seven problems has been solved, and the other six are the subject of a great deal of current research. The timing of the announcement of the Millennium Prize Problems at the turn of the century was an homage to a famous speech of David Hilbert to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900.

Where can I find more information about the Millennium Problems?

Part of the interesting Chapter 0 appears in slightly reworked form in the November 2002 installment of Devlins’s angle, The inaccessibility of modern mathematics. More information on the millennium problems, including official statements of the problems, is available at the Clay Mathematics Institute.
