An institution has offered a $1 million prize to anyone who can solve a famous math problem that has puzzled mathematicians for more than a century. The Riemann hypothesis, first proposed by ...

The Riemann hypothesis is the most important open question in number theory—if not all of mathematics. It has occupied experts for more than 160 years. And the problem appeared both in mathemati ...

Two mathematicians—Larry Guth of the Massachusetts ... has won a number of important prizes with a little less name recognition. The Riemann hypothesis is not directly related to prime numbers ...

The problem is similar to—but distinct from—the Riemann hypothesis, which is considered one of the most important problems in mathematics. Number theorist Yitang Zhang, who is based at the ...

Though few people other than mathematicians may find it interesting to discuss the location and distribution of the primes, the Riemann hypothesis is relevant to other fields as well. Recent research ...

Paul Nelson has solved the subconvexity problem, bringing mathematicians one step closer to understanding the Riemann hypothesis and the distribution of prime numbers. A number theorist recalls his ...

That is, like this.( Darts first started appearing in the mid-19th century when Bernhard Riemann, a German mathematician, ...

Sometimes mathematicians try to tackle a problem head on, and sometimes they come at it sideways. That’s especially true when the mathematical stakes are high, as with the Riemann hypothesis, whose ...
