A maths problem, which has gone more than 150 years without a solution, has finally been solved by Nigerian academic Dr. Opeyemi Enoch. The Riemann Hypothesis was first proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859.
As the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch has scooped a million dollar prize.

Dr Enoch, who teaches at the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE), has become the fourth egghead to resolve one of the seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics.
Born in Kogi, the mathematician had previously worked on mathematical models and structures for generating electricity from sound, thunder and Oceanic bodies.
According to a statement issued in Ado Ekiti, Dr Enoch presentation of the Proof on November 11, 2015 during the International Conference on Mathematics and Computer Science in Vienna, Austria becomes more symbolic coming on the exact day and month 156 years after the problem was delivered by a German Mathematician in 1859.
The Riemann Zeta Hypothesis is one of the seven Millennium problems set forth by the Clay Mathematics Institute with a million Dollar reward for each solved problem for the past 16 years.
“Dr Enoch first investigated and then established the claims of Riemann. He went on to Consider and to correct the misconceptions that were communicated by Mathematicians in the past generations, thus paving way for his solutions and proofs to be established.
“He also showed how other problems of this kind can be formulated and obtained the matrix that Hilbert and Poly predicted will give these undiscovered solutions. He revealed how these solutions are applicable in cryptography, quantum information science and in quantum computers,” the statement said.

Nice one bro, want to be like you one day... Proud to be a Nigerian, cool stufff
ReplyDeleteThat's good news and a big credit to Nigeria as a country. Dr. Enoch is a representation of thousands of Nigerians who's got talents. At the drawing board such talents should be hunted for and properly be encouraged into perspective for national development and wellbeing. God bless Nigeria.
