http://cage.rug.ac.be/~hvernaev/problems/archive.html

Extractions: Each week, for your edification, we publish a well-known unsolved mathematics problem. These postings are intended to inform you of some of the difficult, yet interesting, problems that mathematicians are investigating. We give a reference so that you can get more information about the topic. These problems can be understood by the average person. Nevertheless, we do not suggest that you tackle these problems, since mathematicians have been unsuccessfully working on these problems for many years. Should you wish to discuss aspects of these problems with others, one of the newsgroups, such as sci.math , might be the appropriate forum. 3-Sep-1995 Problem 36 : Primes of the form n^n+1 27-Aug-1995 Problem 35 : Must one of n points lie on n/3 lines? 20-Aug-1995 Problem 34 : Squares with Two Different Decimal Digits 13-Aug-1995 Problem 33 : Unit Triangles in a Given Area 6-Aug-1995 Problem 32 : Can the Cube of a Sum Equal their Product 30-Jul-1995 Problem 31 : Different Number of Distances 23-Jul-1995 Problem 30 : Sum of Four Cubes 16-Jul-1995 Problem 29 : Fitting One Triangle Inside Another 9-Jul-1995 Problem 28 : Expressing 3 as the Sum of Three Cubes 2-Jul-1995 Problem 27 : Factorial that are one less than a Square 25-Jun-1995 Problem 26 : Inscribing a Square in a Curve 18-Jun-1995 Problem 25 : The Collatz Conjecture 11-Jun-1995 Problem 24 : Primes Between Consecutive Squares 4-Jun-1995 Problem 23 : Thirteen Points on a Sphere 28-May-1995

Extractions: The twenty-four mathematical problems and questions listed below have been studied by numerous people since they were first posted on the internet in 1995. In that time, Problems 1, 5, 7, 8, and 22 have been solved completely, and part of Question 12 has been answered. The other eighteen problems remain unsolved. The links in this list point to articles on the MathPages web site containing more background on each problem, and partial or related results.

Develop a computationally efficient algorithm for combinations of D spike , D interval , and D motif . Maybe this is also a well-known problem in dynamic programming algorithms. Progress (8/2002) for combinations of D spike and D interval : Perhaps any optimal path from spike train A to spike train B can be reorganized as an equal-cost path from spike train A to spike train X, then from X to B, in which A to X only uses the transformations of D spike , and X to B only uses the transformations of D interval . Then, find a DP algorithm that finds X. Unfortunately, such reorganizations cannot be guaranteed. This idea makes use of the "algebraic" properties of the transformations.

This question was first posed by Euclid in ancient Greece. This question is still open. Euler proved that if N is an odd perfect number, then in the prime power decomposition of N , exactly one exponent is congruent to 1 mod 4 and all the other exponents are even. Furthermore, the prime occurring to an odd power must itself be congruent to 1 mod 4. A sketch of the proof appears in Exercise 87, page 203 of Underwood Dudley's Elementary Number Theory. It has been shown that there are no odd perfect numbers Take any natural number

of the book unsolved problems in Astrophysics by Bahcall,JN and Ostriker, JP, eds., published by Princeton University Press.
http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/5988.html

Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents The field of astrophysics is in the midst of a technologically driven renaissance, as fundamental discoveries are being made with astonishing frequency. In the last decade, new detectors in space, on earth, and deep underground have, when coupled with the computational power of modern computers, revolutionized our knowledge and understanding of the astronomical world. This is a great time for a student of any age to become acquainted with the remarkable universe in which we live. This volume is a collection of essays, originally presented orally to a diverse group of students and professionals, which reveal the most fertile areas for future study of astronomy and astrophysics. The emphasis of this work is on the clear description of the current state of our knowledge as a preparation for the future unraveling of the mysteries of the universe that appear today as most fundamental and most amenable to solution. A stellar group of astronomers and astrophysicists describes the directions and styles of work that they think are most likely to lead to progress. Bibliographical notes at the end of each presentation provide guidance for the reader who wishes to go more deeply into a given subject.

http://www.maa.org/pubs/books/dol11.html

Extractions: Series: Dolciani Mathematical Expositions The book will serve well as a point of entry for students who want to know more about a celebrated question, or simply take in the vistas. Choice This is a book that not only belongs in every university, college, and high school library, it very definitely belongs in every public library. Mathematical Reviews. The book is well-written and readable. Each part of each section concludes with a nice selection of exercises. The authors have appended a useful bibliography to each chapter. It is compulsive reading and will fill your mind with problems that will come back to haunt you again and again during idle moments. The Mathematical Intelligencer Victor Klee and Stan Wagon discuss some of the unsolved problems in number theory and geometry, many of which can be understood by readers with a very modest mathematical background. The presentation is organized around 24 central problems, many of which are accompanied by other, related problems. The authors place each problem in its historical and mathematical context, and the discussion is at the level of undergraduate mathematics. Each problem section is presented in two parts. The first gives an elementary overview discussing the history and both the solved and unsolved variants of the problem. Part Two contains more details, including a few proofs of related results, a wider and deeper survey of what is known about the problem and its relatives, and a large collection of references. Both parts contain exercises, with solutions.

Two questions relate to Piedmont. The first is this: Various features of Tarot games played in Piedmont indicate a connection with Bologna: Can any early connection be found between Bologna and Piedmont, or Tarot players in both places, be discovered to account for this? Can any pre-XVIIIth-century tarocchi What were the origins of the pattern (for regular cards) we know as Venetian, and when did it originate?

Extractions: Much has been learned about the subject of noise and random fluctuations over the last 170 years (some old milestones: Brownian motion, 1826; Einstein's diffusion theory, 1905; JohnsonNyquist thermal noise, 1926), but much remains to be known. This volume will be interesting reading for physicists, engineers, mathematicians, biologists and PhD students. The invited papers in the volume survey classical unsolved problems while the regular papers present new problems and paradoxes.
