Cracked in 2002 by the eccentric genius Grigori Perelman , this solution has become fundamental to our understanding of three-dimensional shapes.

Posited in 1630 and finally solved by Andrew Wiles in 1995, this three-century effort led to the creation of algebraic number theory. Cracked in 2002 by the eccentric genius Grigori

In his book , celebrated mathematician Ian Stewart explores fourteen of the most formidable challenges in mathematics. Stewart argues that a "great problem" is defined not just by its difficulty, but by the new ideas and fields of research it inspires during the quest for a solution.

Efforts to solve these problems often reveal deep, unexpected connections between unrelated fields.
