Many think it's to prove the Riemann Hypothesis, which is that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function have real part one-half. There's a million dollar prize for proving it. If proven, we'd know a lot more about prime numbers.
More info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis
And two books about it:

http://www.amazon.com/Prime-Obsession-Berhhard-Greatest-Mathematics/dp/0452285259/ref=pd_sim_b_1/103-4527363-9238211
The books are actually easier to read than the Wikipedia article, but they're still hard.
Good luck. Some of the best minds in mathematics have tried for years and failed. :-)

( E=mc2 ) As little as 5 people in the World fully understand it as it is.. Mathematics and Time are not tangible and "Relevant" only to the Human mind as tools of measurement.

Women are EVIL! Here's proof!
We all know that women require multiples of time and money.
women = time X money
and according to Benjamin Franklin, "time is money"
time = money
so we have
women = money X money, so women = money^2
from the Bible, we know money is the root of all evil
money = sqrt(evil)
by squaring both sides we have
money^2 = evil
and making the final substitution, we conclude
women = evil

fermats last theorem was the late one :
i.e. if h^2= p^+b^2
then a^2=b^2+c^2
