Millennium Prize Problems

The Millennium Prize Problems are a set of seven unsolved mathematical problems that were selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. These problems are considered to be some of the most challenging and important problems in mathematics, and the Clay Mathematics Institute offers a cash prize of one million US dollars for the resolution of each problem.
