Too-easy credit and millions of bad loans made during the U.S. housing bubble paved the way for the financial calamity and Great Recession that followed. Today, by contrast, credit is too tight. Mortgage loans are particularly hard to get, creating a problem for the housing market and the broader economy. ↗

The definition of a good mathematical problem is the mathematics it generates rather than the problem itself. ↗

But the best problem I ever found, I found in my local public library. ↗

I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make young mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future. ↗

I tried to fit it in with some previous broad conceptual understanding of some part of mathematics that would clarify the particular problem I was thinking about. ↗

It's fine to work on any problem, so long as it generates interesting mathematics along the way - even if you don't solve it at the end of the day. ↗
