Open Problems in Mathematics
by John Forbes Nash Jr. and Michael Th. Rassias

Summary

Open Problems in Mathematics is a collection of essays that introduces some of the greatest unsolved questions in modern mathematics, showing readers not only what these problems are but also why they continue to fascinate researchers. 

Rather than presenting technical proofs, each chapter explains the background, significance, and current state of a major challenge—from the P versus NP problem and the Riemann Hypothesis to the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, the Hodge conjecture, the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, Goldbach's conjecture, and several other famous mysteries spanning geometry, topology, graph theory, game theory, and cryptography. 

Edited by John Forbes Nash Jr. and Michael Th. Rassias, the book emphasizes that these open problems are more than intellectual puzzles—they often have deep connections to science, technology, and our understanding of the mathematical universe, while also illustrating how unanswered questions continue to drive mathematical discovery and inspire new generations of researchers.
