In 2000, the Clay Foundation announced a historic competition:
whoever could solve any of seven extraordinarily difficult
mathematical problems, and have the solution acknowledged as
correct by the experts, would receive $1 million in prize money.
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.
