Taniyama's Problems
Taniyama's problems are a set of 36 mathematical problems posed by Japanese mathematician Yutaka Taniyama in 1955. The problems primarily focused on algebraic geometry, number theory, and the connections between modular forms and elliptic curves. History In the 1950s post-World War II period of mathematics, there was renewed interest in the theory of modular curves due to the work of Taniyama and Goro Shimura. During the 1955 international symposium on algebraic number theory at Tokyo and NikkÅ—the first symposium of its kind to be held in Japan that was attended by international mathematicians including Jean-Pierre Serre, Emil Artin, Andre Weil, Richard Brauer, K. G. Ramanathan, and Daniel Zelinsky—Taniyama compiled his 36 problems in a document titled ''"Problems of Number Theory"'' and distributed mimeographs of his collection to the symposium's participants. These problems would become well known in mathematical folklore. Serre later brought attention to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Unsolved Problems In Mathematics
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, Mathematical analysis, analysis, combinatorics, Algebraic geometry, algebraic, Differential geometry, differential, Discrete geometry, discrete and Euclidean geometry, Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations. Some problems belong to more than one discipline and are studied using techniques from different areas. Prizes are often awarded for the solution to a long-standing problem, and some lists of unsolved problems, such as the Millennium Prize Problems, receive considerable attention. This list is a composite of notable unsolved problems mentioned in previously published lists, including but not limited to lists considered authoritative, and the problems listed here vary widely in both diffi ...
