Independence results | Mathematical problems | Group theory
In group theory, a branch of abstract algebra, the Whitehead problem is the following question: Is every abelian group A with Ext1(A, Z) = 0 a free abelian group? Saharon Shelah proved that Whitehead's problem is independent of ZFC, the standard axioms of set theory. (Wikipedia).

What is General Relativity? Lesson 69: The Einstein Equation Having done so much work with the Einstein tensor, the interpretation of the Einstein equation is almost anti-climatic! The hard part is finding the Newtonian limit in order to understand the constant of proportionality between

Problems with the Calculus | Math History | NJ Wildberger
We discuss some of the controversy and debate generated by the 17th century work on Calculus. Newton and Leibniz's ideas were not universally accepted as making sense, despite the impressive, even spectacular achievements that the new theory was able to demonstrate. In this lecture we di

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?
This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation
