Nigerian Mathematics Genius Who Fooled The British Media by Holysholay: 9:43am On Nov 19, 2015 |
In the last few days, you may have read about how a Nigerian mathematician, Opeyemi Enoch, solved the Riemann Zeta Hypothesis—a 156-year-old mathematical problem—and bagged a $1 million prize. Even though it has been widely reported, it appears the story might be untrue. The Riemann Hypothesis, first proposed by German mathematician Bernhard Riemann in 1859, is one of seven Millennium problems presented by the Clay Mathematics Institute with a $1 million reward for solving each one. Leading British media, including the BBC and the Daily Telegraph, ran the story of Enoch winning the award, but a little digging suggests they might have jumped the gun. The US-based Clay Mathematics Institute has refused to confirm the news of Enoch’s solution, instead saying “the current status of the problems and complete information about each” is available on the institute’s website—and that’s where it gets interesting. http://qz.com/552327/the-nigerian-mathematics-genius-who-fooled-the-british-media/?utm_source=YPL |
