What is Millennium Prize Problems?
{{no sources|date=January 2018}} The Millennium Problems are a set of seven unsolved mathematical problems designated by the [[Clay Mathematics Institute]] in 2000. These challenges cover a wide range of mathematical disciplines, from number theory to [[Topology]], and solving any one of them would earn the solver a $1 million prize. They represent some of the most profound and perplexing questions in mathematics, captivating both professional mathematicians and enthusiasts alike. The '''Millennium Problems''' are 7 big mathematical problems that if answered, could bring change all over [[math]] and [[science]] education, and may even affect [[technology]]. Whoever solves any one of the Millennium Problems could win $1,000,000, as well as potentially other prizes for it, like the [[Fields Medal]], or even the [[Nobel Prize]]. Some of the problems have a relationship to the [[Pierre de Fermat|de Fermat]] conjecture called [[Fermat's Last Theorem]] or FLT. As described by the [[Clay Institute]] of [[Massachusetts]], the Millennium Problems are: == Riemann hypothesis == A 200-year old question that is one of the most famous mathematical problems ever. Solving it will make [[mathematician]]s understand a lot more about [[prime number]]s. It has applications in [[cryptography]], [[number theory]], and might even be useful in [[physics]]. Mathematicians want to know when a certain [[Function (mathematics)|function]], called the [[Riemann zeta function|Riemann Zeta function]], written '''ζ(s)''', equals [[zero]]. There are many well known values of '''s''' where '''ζ(s)''' is zero, composing the [[negative]] [[even]] [[integers]]. The [[Riemann hypothesis|Riemann Hypothesis]] says that apart from these, '''ζ(s)''' equals zero only when s is a [[complex number]] with real part 1/2 or a negative [[whole number]]. As to whether this hypothetical is one of [[pure mathematics|pure]] or [[applied mathematics|applied math]], a particular characterization of the [[seismograph|machine to measure earthquakes]] gives real-par
