Polymath Projects The Polymath Project is a collaboration among mathematicians to solve important and difficult mathematical problems by coordinating many mathematicians to communicate with each other on finding the best route to the solution. The project began in January 2009 on Timothy Gowers' blog when he posted a problem and asked his readers to post partial ideas and partial progress toward a solution. 0
Poincaré Conjecture The Poincaré conjecture is a theorem about the characterization of the 3-sphere, which is the hypersphere that bounds the unit ball in four-dimensional space. The conjecture states: Every simply connected, closed 3-manifold is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere. Millennium Problem Solved 0
Physics Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves. 1

Life Extension Life extension is the idea of extending the human lifespan, either modestly – through improvements in medicine – or dramatically by increasing the maximum lifespan beyond its generally settled limit of 125 years. The ability to achieve such dramatic changes, however, does not currently exist. 0
Kalai's 3^d conjecture Does every d-dimensional centrally symmetric polytope have at least 3^d nonempty faces? Unsolved 2
IMO 2009 Q6 Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ be distinct positive integers and let M be a set of $n-1$ positive integers not containing $s = a_1 +a_2 +\ldots+a_n$. A grasshopper is to jump along the real axis, starting at the point 0 and making n jumps to the right with lengths $a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n$ in some order. Prove that the order can be chosen in such a way that the grasshopper never lands on any point in M. Polymath Project Solved 0
Human–Computer Interaction Human–computer interaction studies the design and use of computer technology, focused on the interfaces between people and computers. Researchers in the field of HCI observe the ways in which humans interact with computers and design technologies that let humans interact with computers in novel ways. 0
Hadwiger-Nelson Problem The Chromatic Number of the Plane (CNP) is the chromatic number of the graph whose vertices are elements of the plane, and two points are connected by an edge if they are a unit distance apart. The Hadwiger-Nelson problem asks to compute CNP. Unsolved Polymath Project 4

Goldbach's Conjecture Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest and best-known unsolved problems in number theory and all of mathematics. It states: Every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. The conjecture remains unproven despite considerable effort. Unsolved 0

Gene Editing Gene editing is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified or replaced in the genome of a living organism. Unlike early genetic engineering techniques that randomly inserts genetic material into a host genome, genome editing targets the insertions to site specific locations. 0
Fermat's Last Theorem In number theory, Fermat's Last Theorem (sometimes called Fermat's conjecture, especially in older texts) states that no three positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation $a^{n} + b^{n} = c^{n}$ for any integer value of n greater than 2. Solved 0

COVID-19 Dataset Clearinghouse There is an abundance of COVID-19 related data available. This data will be indispensable for the urgent tasks of understanding and preventing the spread of the virus as well as developing treatments. Moreover, there are a myriad of other e.g. economic, political, and mental health problems which have resulted from the pandemic. An organized collection of high-quality, clean, and accessible data sets will be indispensable in addressing these and many other issues. 1
