The Riemann hypothesis, first proposed by German mathematician Bernhard Riemann in 1859, is considered to be one of the hardest and most important unsolved problems of pure mathematics — the ...

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 ...

One of the most significant of these questions is the Riemann hypothesis. At its core, the Riemann hypothesis seeks to find and study the pattern and distribution of prime numbers as they get larger ...

Over the past few days, the mathematics world has been abuzz over the news that Sir Michael Atiyah, the famous Fields Medalist and Abel Prize winner, claims to have solved the Riemann hypothesis.

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 ...

During a Monday speech in Heidelberg, Germany, Atiyah claimed to have a potential solution to a problem called the Riemann Hypothesis. "It’s so difficult nobody’s proved it, so why should ...

Nigerian professor Opeyemi Enoch Wednesday insisted he has found a solution to the complex Riemann Hypothesis. Following several media reports casting doubt on his claim, Enoch said ...

That’s especially true when the mathematical stakes are high, as with the Riemann hypothesis, whose solution comes with a $1 million reward from the Clay Mathematics Institute. Its proof would give ...
