So there are currently tons of unsolved math problems such as The Collatz Conjecture, The Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach’s conjecture and so on… I get that they are so hard that being good at mathematics isn’t enough, but why can’t computers solve them? Or at least solve some parts of the problem, getting a chunk of the work done for the mathematicians that work on them?
Will computers be able to eventually solve this problems in the future as we’ll develop better technology?
In: Mathematics
First of all, many of the fastest supercomputer have been used to solve math problems, that’s what a computer does! But they are the problems that the people who own the computers are interested In solving. It may not be these “unsolved” math problems, they may be more interested in near term real world applications
They may be working on wild stuff such as weather modeling, molecular modeling and analysis, testing nuclear weapons, aerodynamics, cryptography, and others.
