  2. Future of mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_mathematics

    The progression of both the nature of mathematics and individual mathematical problems into the future is a widely debated topic; many past predictions about modern mathematics have been misplaced or completely false, so there is reason to believe that many predictions today will follow a similar path. However, the subject still carries an ...
