March newsletter

Welcome Maths Society members to another issue of our newsletter which has effortlessly flown into your inbox! With so much chaos, instability and worry in the world around us, hopefully we can take comfort in the unifying, perpetual and untiring force of maths. In this issue, we have look back to a more optimistic time: the turn of the Millennium. Specifically, the Millennium Prize Problems; seven renowned, complex mathematical problems set 25 years ago by the non-profit Clay Mathematics Institute, each with a $1 million prize for the first to solve them! With six yet to be solved, we look at the most famous of them all — The Riemann Hypothesis – could you be the first to crack it? On the topic of unsolved mathematical conundrums, we also feature a biography of the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat.
