The Riemann Hypothesis, a central unsolved problem in mathematics, posits that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line in the complex plane. This conjecture is not ...

Researchers have made what might be new headway toward a proof of the Riemann hypothesis, one of the most impenetrable problems in mathematics. The hypothesis, proposed 160 years ago, could help ...

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 mathematician ...

This article is more than 8 years old. So what? Riemann was interested in the distribution of prime numbers and he discovered a formula for the number of primes less than or equal to a given integer ...

A solution to the greatest unresolved problem in pure mathematics – Riemann's hypothesis – could be coming closer, thanks to a remarkable international collaboration involving mathematicians from the ...

Think back to elementary school during which you learned about a seemingly useless mathematical relic called prime numbers. Your teacher told you in class one day that they are special numbers, ...

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. If ...

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 German ...
