Wait, what? There are math problems that baffle even the best minds of our time? Yes. This class is all about looking at these problems and understanding what they're all about.
We'll start the class out by looking at Fermat's Last Theorem which is a classic example of a problem that baffled mathematicians for hundreds of years. It only just got solved in 1995! We also expect to go over a handful of other problems (all still unsolved) including the Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach's Conjecture, the twin prime conjecture, and P vs NP.
