<p>I'm looking for a news site for Mathematics which particularly covers recently solved mathematical problems together with the unsolved ones. Is there a good site MO users can suggest me or is my only bet just to google for them?</p>

<p>The Wikipedia page <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_mathematics" rel="nofollow">List of unsolved problems in mathematics</a> has a specific (and long) sublist for recently solved problems. </p>

<p>arXiv.org</p> <p>Any paper worth reading <em>should</em> include some background material and a description of general progress in its introduction section. This is especially true of papers that actually <em>solve</em> a problem, rather than chipping away at some small technicality. </p>

<p>Another suggestion <a href="http://pjm.math.berkeley.edu/scripts/coming.php?jpath=annals" rel="nofollow"> Annals: to appear</a>. Also other top journals. If a big problem gets solved, its solution probably gets submitted to a journal of this type, so its to appear lists are what you are looking for. Of course, you only learn about the solution of the problem a few years late (refereeing takes time), but you can be almost certain that the solution is actually correct.</p>

<p>As a counter-point to my somewhat flippant previous answer (which only really applies if one is a specialist in the field), if you are looking at a field in which you are not as much a specialist in, I suggest reading the articles from the <a href="http://www.ams.org/publications/journals/journalsframework/aboutbull" rel="nofollow">Bulletin of the AMS</a>. The articles are designed to be fairly up-to-date and expository in nature, and often gives the state of the art in their reviews. </p> <p>Of course, a similar caveat as that to Helge's answer applies: the "news" maybe several months out of date. But considering the glacial paces at which a lot of mathematical refereeing takes place, I think it is quite okay. </p> <p>In the spirit of this answer, you may also find <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/15366/which-journals-publish-expository-work" rel="nofollow">http://mathoverflow.net/questions/15366/which-journals-publish-expository-work</a> to be useful.</p>

<p>There is also a list about group theory open problems here : <a href="http://www.grouptheory.info/" rel="nofollow">http://www.grouptheory.info/</a></p>
