In this video, we discuss how we tackle difficult problems in mathematics, and look at historical examples of groundbreaking new discoveries in mathematics that emerged from trying to solve a difficult problems.

I made a follow up video to address an error in the video:

Chapters:
00:00 Intro
01:09 Main Problem
10:51 FLT and Algebraic Number Theory
14:42 Quintic Equation and Group Theory
22:06 PDE and Fourier Analysis
27:36 Outro


Corrections:
11:48 It is true that Euler provided the first proof and invented Z[√-3], but first algebraic proof using Z[ω] was by Gauss
27:03 I forgot to write the coefficients c_n for the series
