The Collatz conjecture (3n+1 problem) | Famous Math Problems 2 | NJ Wildberger
The Collatz conjecture is tantalizing; simple to state, spectacular in its claim, and notorious for defeating all who attack it. First enunciated by Lothar Collatz in 1937, it has also sometimes been called the Syracuse problem, Kakutani's problem, Ulam's problem, the Hailstone conjecture.
After stating the conjecture and running through some of the evidence for it, we have a look at some variants, and also some strategies for tackling the problem. One obvious tactic is to look at the problem in base 2; so we first review the fundamentals of arithmetic in base 2. The problem also has a number theoretical aspect.
Be warned: this problem is addictive, and you might easily catch the bug! More info on it can be obtained from a survey by J. Lagarias.
