An open problem is a problem that can be formally stated and for which a solution is known to exist but which has not yet been solved. It is common in graduate schools to point out open problems to students. However, Fermat's last theorem and the Four color theorem are two notable open problems that have been closed or solved by faculty members, as they would have more expertise and resources than students.
Important open problems exist in many fields, such as in the field of theoretical computer science, computer scheduling, and real-time computing.
Statistical Rules of Thumb, 2nd Edition Gerald van Belle Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000 Statistical Rules of Thumb, Second Edition compiles simple rules that are widely applicable, robust, and elegant, and each captures key statistical concepts. This handbook provides a framework for considering statistical questions such as sample size and design of experiments. Explaining the justification for each rule, this book conveys the various possibilities that statisticians must think of when designing and conducting a study or analyzing Read More... Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data and Fathom 3rd Edition with Student CD & Access Code and Fathom Dynamic Data Software Set Allan J. Rossman Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000 Read More... Mathematical Logic George Tourlakis Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000 Mathematical Logic presents mathematical or "symbolic" logic as a reliable tool for deductive reasoning. It trains the student in both the established "Hilbert" style of writing proofs in mathematics, as well as in the emerging "equational" style that finds fruitful application in computer science curricula, especially in the areas of software engineering and program correctness. There are extensive sets of examples, Read More... Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering Gordon A. Fenton, D. V. Griffiths Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000 The increasing sophistication of buildings and bridges demand new analytical techniques. Reliability-based design is a well established technique in the structural and mechanical engineering communities that is now gaining momentum among geotechnical engineers. This book introduces an innovative reliability-based method for risk assessment in geotechnical engineering that allows engineers to create a better model for analyzing the properties and possible Read More... Basic Math & Pre-Algebra Workbook For Dummies Mark Zegarelli Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000 When you have the right math teacher, learning math can be painless and even fun! Let Basic Math and Pre-Algebra Workbook For Dummies teach you how to overcome your fear of math and approach the subject correctly and directly. A lot of the topics that probably inspired fear before will seem simple when you realize that you can solve math problems, from basic addition to algebraic equations. Lots of students feel they got lost somewhere between learning Read More... Biostatistics: A Foundation for Analysis in the Health Sciences 8th Edition with SPSS Student Version 16.0 Set Wayne W.

The Furstenburg Conjecture and Rigidity - If two commuting endomorphisms of a torus are incommensurable (no power of one is a power of the other), then their joint action should be rigid. Some of the conjectures and open problems compiled by the AIM.
For inventors who are looking for problems to solve the Open Problem Bank is a structured database of open technical ...
