The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the most famous problems in that set. It’s about prime numbers. That’s any whole number that can only be divided by 1 and itself – like 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.

A world-renowned retired mathematician claims he has proof to solve a math problem dating back to 1859, potentially worth $1 million. Michael Atiyah, a mathematician who has won several awards ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
