There are six major unsolved math problems that are called the Millennium Problems. There used to be seven of them, but one has been solved. I am not positive, but I think that I have solved the P vs. NP problem.

Really? Will you share the million dollar prize with me?

he's gonna donate it to ST smile
come on, share the solution tongue lets see if we can detect the mistake big_smile

edit: you say you've got it and don't say if np = p or not. thats not polite sad

s7_13, at least tell us if P = NP smile
I hope it isn't, because I was thinking of solving one of those, and if P=NP then it would make my work useless tongue

EDIT
also, how old are you??

A set of seven problems that were published by the CMI to show that maths was still unsolved... each has a prize of 1 million U.S. dollars.

One of them has already been solved smile

By the way, if anyone's going to do one, you better start now, because a million dollars with this hyperinflation going on might become worthless soon tongue

If my solution is correct, P does not equal NP (which sucks in a lot of ways). I am fourteen years old right now, but I have been working on this since I was thirteen. I am going to see if my uncle, who's a math major, can detect any mistakes.

Be careful, he's gonna want half tongue

Very interesting, I wish you the best of luck finding a solution!

For those of you interested in the problem, here's the Wiki page. I just had a read since I'd not heard of the problem before and thought others might be interested!

read it... oh my!

i'm going to solve the one about prime numbers!

The Riemann Hypothesis? I'd warn you, I tried, and failed miserably. If you could, that would be great, though, because most mathematicians say that that is the most important unsolved problem right now.
