My Mathematics Bucket List, The IMA Presidential Address by Professor Alistair Fitt
Abstract
As one grows older, one can enjoy the chance to take a slightly more strategic and rounded view of mathematics. We’ve seen a great deal of progress in many areas of mathematics in the last few years, but what remains to be done and what are the biggest problems and challenges that we might be able to realistically do something about? Put another way, what mathematical achievements would I like to witness before I shuffle off this mortal coil and can they be put together in a traditional “bucket list”?
