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 ...

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 ...

A top mathematician showed that he solved a 160-year-old math problem at a lecture held in Germany on Monday. Michael Atiyah, who has already won two of the biggest prizes in mathematics, the Fields ...

The Riemann hypothesis is one of seven math problems that can win you $1 million from the Clay Mathematics Institute if you can solve it. British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah claimed on Monday ...

With Fermat's Last Theorem proved, the Riemann Hypothesis has become math's most glamorous unsolved problem, and has spawned a growing literature seeking to explain it to lay readers. Unfortunately, ...

One of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics may have been solved, retired mathematician Michael Atiyah is set to claim on Monday. In a talk at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum in Germany, ...

Yitang Zhang, a number theorist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has posted a paper on arXiv that hints at the possibility that he may have solved the Landau-Siegel zeros conjecture.

Many ways to approach the Riemann Hypothesis have been proposed during the past 150 years, but none of them have led to conquering the most famous open problem in mathematics. A new article suggests ...

Now that Fermat's famous last theorem has been solved, the greatest unsolved math problem is the Riemann hypothesis, which concerns the distribution of prime numbers. After the announcement of a ...
