    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_eighth_problem

    Hilbert's eighth problem is one of David Hilbert's list of open mathematical problems posed in 1900. It concerns number theory , and in particular the Riemann hypothesis , [ 1 ] although it is also concerned with the Goldbach conjecture .

    The problem of planning air travel from one destination to another, when fares are taken into account. [15] In the ray tracing problem for a 3-dimensional system of reflective or refractive objects, determining if a ray beginning at a given position and direction eventually reaches a certain point.

    The 6th problem concerns the axiomatization of physics, a goal that 20th-century developments seem to render both more remote and less important than in Hilbert's time. Also, the 4th problem concerns the foundations of geometry, in a manner that is now generally judged to be too vague to enable a definitive answer.

  6. 24 (puzzle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(puzzle)

    The original version of 24 is played with an ordinary deck of playing cards with all the face cards removed. The aces are taken to have the value 1 and the basic game proceeds by having 4 cards dealt and the first player that can achieve the number 24 exactly using only allowed operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses) wins the hand.

    The Clay Mathematics Institute officially designated the title Millennium Problem for the seven unsolved mathematical problems, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Hodge conjecture, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, P versus NP problem, Riemann hypothesis, Yang–Mills existence and mass gap, and the Poincaré conjecture at the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_fourth_problem

    In mathematics, Hilbert's fourth problem in the 1900 list of Hilbert's problems is a foundational question in geometry.In one statement derived from the original, it was to find — up to an isomorphism — all geometries that have an axiomatic system of the classical geometry (Euclidean, hyperbolic and elliptic), with those axioms of congruence that involve the concept of the angle dropped ...

    Then 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 3! = 6, and 4! = 24. However, we quickly get to extremely large numbers, even for relatively small n . For example, 100! ≈ 9.332 621 54 × 10 157 , a number so large that it cannot be displayed on most calculators, and vastly larger than the estimated number of fundamental particles in the observable universe.
