Denis Poisson’s equation. This resulted in the Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations, as well as the Vlasov-Poisson equation.Difficulty Rating9/10This has been unsolved for over 80 years and will likely remain unsolved for some time. In order to solve this problem, one would need a deep understanding of physics and mathematics including distribution functions.Real-World ApplicationsThe Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations describes the interactions of plasma particles.The Vlasov-Poisson equations estimate the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. 3. Euler Equations (Fluid Dynamics)The Euler equations, named after Leonhard Euler, were originally presented in 1755 and later published in 1757. These equations are closely linked with another of the most difficult Calculus problems, the Navier-Stokes equations, which comes in at #1 on this list.The Euler equations, when concerned with fluid dynamics, are a set of quasilinear hyperbolic equations which govern the adiabatic and inviscid flow. Of these equations, there is a general form of the continuity equation, the momentum equation, and the energy balance equation.Leonhard Euler also created one of the most famous equations among the mathematics community, simply called Euler’s Identity which linked 5 important mathematical constants: 0, 1, i, e, and pi.Difficulty Rating9.5/10Regardless of the fact that these equations are over 250 years old, they remain mostly unsolved. For instance, in three space dimensions, it’s still unclear if solutions are defined for all time or if they’re singularities.Real-World ApplicationsThe Euler equations have applications in thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, and aerodynamics.2. Riemann HypothesisThe Riemann hypothesis was originally hypothesized in 1859 by Bernhard Riemann. It is one of the seven Millenial Prize Problems that will earn it’s decoder $1,000,000 paid by the Clay Mathematics Institute. It’s one of two Millenial Prize Problems that made this list.The Riemann hypothesis speculates that the Riemann zeta function crosses the x-axis (the functions zero’s) only at negative even integers and complex numbers with real part 1/2.This hypothesis is thought to be the most important unsolved problems in mathematics, let alone in Calculus.Difficulty Rating9.5/10Not only is this one of the most important problems in Calculus, but it’s also one of the hardest, if not the hardest, by far. There has been some progress through the years to validate the Riemann hypothesis, but a formal proof has yet to be given.Real-World ApplicationsThe Riemann hypothesis has extensive applications in number theory, the branch of mathematics dealing with whole numbers, especially prime numbers.1.
