$1,000,000 prize for solving Riemann Hypothesis?
Purdue mathematician claims proof for Riemann hypothesis
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A Purdue University mathematician claims to have proven the Riemann Hypothesis, often dubbed the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics...
As Mathematicians know, the world is divided into 3 kinds of people: the ones who prefer to look at the proof, and the ones who prefer to stick with the press release.
You may want, instead, to read Apology for the proof of the Riemann hypothesis (in pdf format). It is a sort of Mathematician's Autobiography, with in interesting diversion at the end on the Crusader who founded the family of the Mathematician in 1199 A.D., a coincidence on the heraldry, and how he intends to spend the $1,000,000 prize if his proof is verified.
Or maybe you dare to explore The measure problem (in pdf format) to get a sense of this brilliant mathematician's style in equationland.
Or maybe a modern background on Riemann zeta functions (in pdf format), which are at the heart of the century-and-a-half puzzle.
Or even Nevanlinna Factorization And The Bieberbach Conjecture (in pdf format) to see how he disposed of a lesser but still significant mathematical problem.
Or -- last but not least -- maybe you want to post something here on the Mathematics, the Social Significance of It All, or how you would spend $1,000,000 if you found yourself solving a problem that had baffled the greatest minds for generation?
