Abstract
SummaryAs the Mathematical Association of America enters its second century, this article cites some historical mathematical challenges, relating this unique disciplinary practice to the problems sections in today's journals. It presents some results of a survey conducted with the editors of problems sections in various journals and with several mathematicians active throughout their careers as posers and solvers of problems. For example, it includes their views on the general role of problem solving in the mathematical enterprise, their experience with specific applications in both teaching and research, and a sample of their all-time favorite problems.
