diego Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
Hit a zero at one, / the points go infinite, / a million-dollar win!
diego While still unsolved, mathematicians have made major breakthroughs in proving parts of the conjecture.
Only one solved: Out of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, only one has been solved so far—the Poincaré Conjecture, solved by Grigori Perelman in 2003.
A point on a mathematical curve whose coordinates are all rational numbers. In 2000, a million-dollar bounty was established to prove if certain curves have infinitely many of them.
