Analytic number theory continues to serve as a cornerstone of modern mathematics through its probing study of zeta functions and their applications. At the heart of this discipline is the classical ...

A famed mathematical enigma is once again in the spotlight. The Riemann hypothesis, posited in 1859 by German mathematician Bernhard Riemann, is one of the biggest unsolved puzzles in mathematics. The ...

Think back to elementary school during which you learned about a seemingly useless mathematical relic called prime numbers. Your teacher told you in class one day that they are special numbers, ...

The Riemann Hypothesis remains one of mathematics’ most enduring and influential conjectures, proposing that all nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line where the real ...

The Riemann hypothesis is the most important open question in number theory—if not all of mathematics. It has occupied experts for more than 160 years. And the problem appeared both in mathematician ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...
