Goldbach’s Conjecture. One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in math is also very easy to write. Goldbach’s Conjecture is, “Every even number (greater than two) is the sum of two primes ...
The Millennium Prize Problems are seven well-known complex mathematical problems selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. The Clay Institute has pledged a US $1 million prize for the first correct solution to each problem.
After graduating in mathematics from Pazhazhi Raja N.S.S. College, Mattannoor, he secured B.Ed. Degree also Government Teachers Training College, Calicut. He has been a teacher in mathematics at Government High School, Koodali, since 1972. Though his writing career started in 1999 his first book in Mathematics was published in 1978. [2]
Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields.
Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.
Problems 1, 2, 5, 6, [g] 9, 11, 12, 15, 21, and 22 have solutions that have partial acceptance, but there exists some controversy as to whether they resolve the problems. That leaves 8 (the Riemann hypothesis), 13 and 16 [h] unresolved, and 4 and 23 as too vague to ever be described as solved. The withdrawn 24 would also be in this class.
There are very few studies of adults with dyscalculia who have had a history of it growing up, but such studies have shown that it can persist into adulthood. It can affect major parts of an adult's life. [19] Most adults with dyscalculia have a hard time processing math at a 4th-grade level.
The origin of the term in mathematical language comes from the medieval trivium curriculum, which distinguishes from the more difficult quadrivium curriculum. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The opposite of trivial is nontrivial , which is commonly used to indicate that an example or a solution is not simple, or that a statement or a theorem is not easy to prove.
