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 ...

Numbers like π, e and φ often turn up in unexpected places in science and mathematics. Pascal’s triangle and the Fibonacci sequence also seem inexplicably widespread in nature. Then there’s the ...

The Riemann zeta function, a central object in analytic number theory, has long intrigued mathematicians and physicists alike. Its non-trivial zeros not only encapsulate the distribution of prime ...

It was a good week for physics research as a team from Virginia Tech made a heat discovery that expanded on an 18th-century principle involving ice placed on a hot surface—Jonathan Boreyko and Mojtaba ...

The prime counting function π can be written in terms of another step function, J. The function J can be written in terms of Riemann’s zeta function ζ. You take the point. If you’re not a ...

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 paper in the ...

The Basel problem 25 is named from the Swiss city in whose university two of the Bernoulli brothers successively served as professor of mathematics (Jakob, 1687–1705, Johann, 1705–1748). I mentioned ...
