Computers and Mathematics: Problems
and Prospects |
|
Professor Ronald Graham, University of California,
San Diego |
|
|
|
Abstract: |
There is no question that the recent
advent of the modern computer has had a dramatic impact on what mathematicians
do and on how they do it. However, there is increasing evidence that
many apparently simple problems may in fact be forever beyond any
conceivable computer attack. In this talk, I will describe a variety
of mathematical problems in which computers either have had, may have
or will probably never have a significant role in their solutions. |
