Abstract
This talk will present a summary of the results of a survey conducted with the editors of problems sections in various mathematical journals and with several mathematicians who have been active throughout their careers as posers and solvers of problems. In addition to sharing their insight about the objectives of problems sections and the applications of such problems, both in the classroom and in mathematical research, the talk will provide their views on the general role of problem solving in the mathematical enterprise. The presentation will conclude with examples of some of the all-time favorite problems of the survey participants.
