'''Millennium problems''' are seven unsolved problems in [[mathematics]] identified around the year 2000 as the most significant challenges known to modern mathematics.  Only one has been solved, the [[Poincare conjecture]], by  [[Grigori Perelman]] posting the solution directly on the internet rather than seeking publication by a peer-reviewed mathematical journal.

'''Millennium problems''' are seven unsolved problems in [[mathematics]] identified around the year 2000 by the Clay Mathematics Institute as the most significant challenges known to modern mathematics.  The problems were selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute which offered a million dollars for the resolution of each question. So far, only one has been solved, the [[Poincare conjecture]], by  [[Grigori Perelman]] posting the solution directly on the internet rather than seeking publication by a peer-reviewed mathematical journal.
