If you have a question about this talk, please contact Mary Fortune.

The solution of a good mathematical problem often leads to new questions that are even deeper and more important than the original problem. In the talk I shall present some questions with close Trinity ties which arose about hundred years ago, have gone through several incarnations, and are still alive today. I shall also present the striking proof of a recent result concerning one of these questions.

This talk is part of the Trinity Mathematical Society series.
