A chapter in What Mathematics Can Do for You, 2013, pp 101-121 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It is known that there exist several fundamental mathematical conjectures which remain unsolved (i.e., propositions that have not yet been proved but are anticipated to be true). Interestingly and somewhat ironically, the process of searching for proofs often raises interesting new problems that yield new insight into mathematics. This in turn stimulates the development of new branches of mathematics.
