Every Unsolved Math Problem, Explained

Six math problems have beaten every mathematician alive — and one was quietly solved by a man who turned down a million dollars. This is a visual tour of the great unsolved problems in mathematics, from the Collatz conjecture to the Riemann hypothesis, P vs NP, and the Millennium Prize Problems. We start with a puzzle a child can understand (the Collatz conjecture), then walk through Goldbach's conjecture, the twin prime conjecture and Yitang Zhang's breakthrough, the Riemann hypothesis, P versus NP, the Navier–Stokes equations, and the three most abstract Millennium problems — Hodge, Yang–Mills, and Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer. We end with the one that fell: the Poincaré conjecture, and Grigori Perelman, who solved it and walked away from the prize. Each problem is animated and explained in plain language — no advanced math required.

As of today, six remain unsolved. The seventh — the Poincaré conjecture — is the only one ever solved. #math #riemannhypothesis #unsolvedproblems
