| Title: | The Millennium Problems - Part II |
| Speaker: | Sir Michael Atiyah (Virtual) Honorary Professor of Mathematics University of Edinburgh Edinburgh, Scotland |
| 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 Sir Michael Atiyah (a recipient of theFields Medal in 1966) at the Millennium Meeting. The problems discussed by Professor Atiyah are the Poincare Conjecture, the Hodge Conjecture, the Quantum Yang-Mills Problem, and the Navier-Stokes Problem. A question and answer period with Albion College faculty will follow the video presentation. |
