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, 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 ...

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 ...

Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, research and development, start-ups and the tech industry overseas. A mathematician at Purdue University claims to have ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For almost 160 years, the Riemann hypothesis has been one of ...

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.

Did a team of mathematicians just take a big step toward answering a 160-year-old, million-dollar question in mathematics? Maybe. The crew did solve a number of other, smaller questions in a field ...
