The open problems (Riemann, Navier-Stokes, P vs NP) broken into what you need to even read them.
Izifundo
Advanced
Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness
Do the equations of fluid flow always have smooth solutions, or can a fluid blow up in finite time?
Advanced
P versus NP
If a solution can be checked quickly, can it always be found quickly?
Advanced
Goldbach's conjecture
Every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes.
Core
The Collatz conjecture
Halve it if even, triple-and-add-one if odd: does every start reach 1?
Advanced
The twin prime conjecture
Are there infinitely many primes two apart, 3 and 5, 11 and 13, 101 and 103?
Nobody has solved these. Each page states the problem precisely, translates it into plain language, lists the exact prerequisites from the stages above, breaks it into the parts mathematicians actually work on, and says what is known. The point is not to solve them today; it is to be able to read them.

Ezinye zalezi zifundo zithathwe emathebhu avulekile: Wikipedia. Ikhasi ngalinye lesifundo linikeza igama lomsuka nelayisense.
Amaphawu asetshenziswa lapha
Chofoza noma yiluphi uphawu lwesibonakaliso ukuze uthole ukuchaza okuphelele, isithombe, kanye nokuthi iyiphi inhlamvu ekhona ekhuluma ngaso.
Imibuzo abantu bebuza
Can I actually work on these?
You can understand them, which is the honest first step and what these pages are for. Working on them means the full path through the stages above and then the research literature, but every person who has made progress started by reading the statement.
Why are they unsolved if so many people have tried?
Usually because the existing tools provably cannot work (the barriers in P vs NP), or because the problem mixes two structures mathematics handles separately (additive and multiplicative in Goldbach and Collatz). A solution needs a genuinely new idea.
Bhala noma udwebe kukhasi lokulungisa: ngayinye inqubekela phambili, isithombe, impendulo ifihlakele kuze kube ubuza. Isinqumo →
