This site is not about the great unsolved problems in mathematics. For 
those, see the extensive list at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/. For the 
seven Millennium problems, each of which has a prize value of one 
million dollars, see http://www.claymath.org/millennium/ .
 
This site concentrates only on problems which are easily understandable 
to the amateur. To be eligible for listing, the problem must be 
explainable on a single screen (perhaps 200 words), using simple 
terminology.
 
That is not to say that any of the problems here are trivial - very far 
from it. They are all unsolved, despite often many years of attention 
from very highly trained, very intelligent people. So, all of the 
problems here are hard. Very hard.
 
The site also provides an opportunity to have solutions published. If 
you think you've found a solution to any of these problems, please read 
the FAQ before asking for them to be published. The FAQ will strongly 
suggest that you publish in a recognized journal, and use this site only 
as a last resort if, after reading the referees' reports, you are still 
convinced you have the solution (or a significant part thereof).
 
There is a companion Yahoo group, 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/UnsolvedProblems/, where these 
problems and others can be discussed. The group is moderated, but only 
to prevent abuse and spam. Genuine contributions will be approved 
wherever possible.
