Riemann Hypothesis
A more general statement known as the generalized Riemann hypothesis conjectures that neither the Riemann zeta function nor any Dirichlet L-series has a zero with real part larger than 1/2.
Legend holds that the copy of Riemann's collected works found in Hurwitz's library after his death would automatically fall open to the page on which the Riemann hypothesis was stated (Edwards 2001, p. ix).
Proof of the Riemann hypothesis is number 8 of Hilbert's problems and number 1 of Smale's problems .
In 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute ( http://www.claymath.org/ ) offered a $1 million prize ( http://www.claymath.org/millennium/Rules_etc/ ) for proof of the Riemann hypothesis. Interestingly, disproof of the Riemann hypothesis (e.g., by using a computer to actually find a zero off the critical line ), does not earn the $1 million award.
The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that all the zeros of the Dirichlet eta function (a.k.a. the alternating zeta function)
By modifying a criterion of Robin (1984), Lagarias (2000) showed that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that
There is also a finite analog of the Riemann hypothesis concerning the location of zeros for function fields defined by equations such as
According to Fields medalist Enrico Bombieri, "The failure of the Riemann hypothesis would create havoc in the distribution of prime numbers" (Havil 2003, p. 205).
In Ron Howard's 2001 film A Beautiful Mind , John Nash (played by Russell Crowe) is hindered in his attempts to solve the Riemann hypothesis by the medication he is taking to treat his schizophrenia.
In the Season 1 episode " Prime Suspect " (2005) of the television crime drama NUMB3RS , math genius Charlie Eppes realizes that character Ethan's daughter has been kidnapped because he is close to solving the Riemann hypothesis, which allegedly would allow the perpetrators to break essentially all internet security.
In the novel Life After Genius (Jacoby 2008), the main character Theodore "Mead" Fegley (who is only 18 and a college senior) tries to prove the Riemann Hypothesis for his senior year research project. He also uses a Cray Supercomputer to calculate several billion zeroes of the Riemann zeta function. In several dream sequences within the book, Mead has conversations with Bernhard Riemann about the problem and mathematics in general.

The Riemann hypothesis for the Euler zeta function is a corollary. 1. Generalization of the Gamma Function. The Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture made by Riemann that the Euler zeta func-tion has no zeros in a half-plane larger than the half-plane which has no zeros by the convergence of the Euler product.
The Riemann Hypothesis, Volume 50, Number 3. Hilbert, in his 1900 address to the Paris International Congress of Mathemati-cians, listed the Riemann Hypothesis as one of his 23 problems for mathe-maticians of the twentieth century to work on. Now we find it is up to twenty-first cen-tury mathematicians!
Riemann Hypothesis. The nontrivial zeros of ζ(s) have real part equal to 1 2. In the opinion of many mathematicians, the Riemann hypothesis, and its exten-sion to general classes of L-functions, is probably the most important open problem in pure mathematics today. 1We denote by <(s) and =(s) the real and imaginary part of the complex variable ...

the Riemann Hypothesis relates to Fourier analysis using the vocabu-lary of spectra. Readers with a strong mathematical background will be able to connect these ideas to historical formulations of the Riemann Hypothesis. Barry Mazur is the Gerhard Gade University Professor at Harvard Uni-versity.

The Riemann Hypothesis is a statement about the accuracy of Gauss' guess. Let's cheat a little and see if we can replicate Gauss' guess. The cheating is that we will use Mathematica to give us a table ofπ(N)forN= 10nwith 1 ≤n≤ 9. N10 100 1000 10000 100000 1000000 10000000 100000000 1000000000.
In an epoch-making memoir published in 1859, Riemann [Ri] obtained an ana-lytic formula for the number of primes up to a preassigned limit. This formula is expressed in terms of the zeros of the zeta function, namely the solutions ρ of. the equation ζ(ρ) = 0. have imaginary part between i/2 and i/2.

The Riemann hypothesis has long been considered the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics.It was one of 10 unsolved mathematical problems (23 in the printed address) presented as a challenge for 20th-century mathematicians by German mathematician David Hilbert at the Second International Congress of Mathematics in Paris on Aug. 8, 1900. In 2000 American mathematician Stephen Smale updated ...
In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part 1 / 2.Many consider it to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. It is of great interest in number theory because it implies results about the distribution of prime numbers.
distribution of prime numbers in the set of natural numbers, proving this hypothesis is one of the most important open problems in contemporary mathematics [3,4]. In this paper, we analyze Riemman's hypothesis by dealing with the zeros of the analytically-extended zeta function. To be specfic, we make use of the functional equationζ(s) =
