Description
The Clay Mathematics Institute announced the Millennium Prize Problems to mark the 100th anniversary of David Hilbert's lecture at the second ICM. The Problems were set forth by two of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century: John Tate and Michael Atiyah. Tate describes in his lecture three Millennium Prize Problems: the Riemann Hypothesis, the Conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, and the "P=NP" problem. These questions described are among the most important unsolved problems in analysis, number theory, and theoretical computer science. His lecture gives a lucid description of the essential nature and history of these great problems. The lecture itself is a significant event in the history of mathematics, which will be sure to captivate the imagination of anyone interested in the frontiers of mathematics. The set of two lectures by Tate and Atiyah together comprise a complete description of the Millennium Prize Problems, in a style that is entertaining and easy to understand.

Description
In May 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) held its Paris Millennium Event at the College de France. On this occasion, CMI unveiled the "Millennium Prize Problems", seven mathematical quandaries that have long resisted solution. The video by the filmmaker F. Tisseyre provides a portrait of CMI, its culture and the people behind it, as well as of the spirit of the CMI Millennium Event. Excerpts from interviews explain the significance of the prize problems and the challenges they pose. The video of T. Gowers' Keynote Address at the CMI Millennium Meeting is a lucid, dynamic presentation of the deep and important question of the relevance of mathematics to society, delivered by one of the best mathematicians of the modern age. The Problems were set forth by two of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, J. Tate and M. Atiyah. The set of two lectures by Tate and Atiyah together comprise a complete description of the Millennium Prize Problems, presented in an entertaining style.
