Math 490 Special Topics in the Millennium Problems

In 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute established a prize of one million dollars for each of seven Millennium Problems, as an indication of their central importance in current mathematical research. This followed a tradition established in 1900 by David Hilbert, who formalized a list of 23 open problems that then motivated influential research programs in mathematics over the subsequent century. This topics course for advanced undergraduate mathematics students describes a selection of three of the seven Millennium Prize Problems.
