Category talk:Unsolved problems in mathematics

[edit] Overlapping Articles

This wiki has overlap with the Unsolved problems in mathematics list. Perhaps some merger can take place? The Swami 04:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

As I understand it, it's okay to have a category and a list for the same topic. While I'm here, I'm removing the underpopulated tag; the category has 38 articles. Melchoir 01:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quintic equations

What about the article Quintic equation? there are no general methods for solving this equations, so I think this is an unsolved problem. --Daniel bg 17:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

No, it's not an unsolved problem. It has just been proved that solutions cannot be expressed in a certain form. See also Abel–Ruffini theorem. PrimeHunter 00:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brief mention of conjecture

prime quadruplet, prime triplet, balanced prime are currently in this category. They just mention in one sentence that it's conjectured there are infinitely many such primes. Should they be categorized for that? I think there should be more than a brief mention of an unsolved problem. PrimeHunter 00:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
