Like the American stalwart, many great mathematical minds have tried over a century to crack this ‘big unknown’, more so in recent years after a USD one million prize was announced for the final solution.
Now, 161 years after the hypothesis was forwarded, Hyderabad-based theoretical physicist Dr Kumar Eswaran says he has key proof to the unsolved problem that has baffled mathematicians and physicists the world over.
The hypothesis makes predictions on how to find prime numbers along a numerical spectrum. But so far, it remains a conjecture...
The Riemann Hypothesis: Holy grail or double-edged sword?The hypothesis is a conjecture made by renowned German mathematician Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann in a paper in 1859. It is related to the distribution of prime numbers, which are integers divisible just by themselves and by 1.
Riemann’s hypothesis takes forward the work of another noted mathematician (also Riemann’s teacher) Carl Friedrich Gauss. Gauss worked on estimating the primes between zero and any given number.
