Providence, Rhode Island. (AP). – A Texas banker offering a reward of one million dollars to anyone who can resolve the Beal conjecture , a complex problem that has intrigued many mathematicians since the 80s.
The American Mathematical Society has confirmed that there will be a prize of a million to whoever gives the answer.
Dallas banker Andrew Beal Beal created the award in 1997 with a budget of $ 5000 and the amount has been increasing over the years.
Beal is a self-taught mathematician and says he wants to encourage young people to become interested in math and science.
American Mathematical Society ensures that the response is more difficult than that of other similar problem, Fermat’s Theorem, for which no response was found for centuries.
