| Abstract: | At the beginning of the new millennium the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) of Cambridge, Massachusetts, named seven Millennium Prize Problems which, if solved, would earn the solver $1,000,000! To officially present these problems to the world, on May 24, 2000, the CMI held the Millennium Meeting at the College de France in Paris. The timing and location of this conference was influenced by David Hilbert's address on August 8, 1900, to the 2nd International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, which resulted in the now famous Hilbert Problems. In this colloquium we will show a video presentation of a lecture given by Professor John Torrence Tate, Jr., (a student of the famous algebraist Emil Artin) at the Millennium Meeting. The problems discussed by Dr. Tate are the Riemann Hypothesis, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, and the P vs. NP problem. A question and answer period with Albion College faculty will follow the video presentation. |
