In everyday language, a problem is defined as the difference between a desired state and the actual or present state. It is a deviation from some norm, standard, or goal. It is a situation, circumstance, or state of affairs which we feel ought not to exist and that is an obstacle to the satisfaction of our desires or the achievement of our goals. In mathematics and science, it is an exercise or question that must be performed or answered in order to arrive at a solution.
