The 156-year old Riemann Hypothesis, one of the most important problems in Mathematics, has been successfully resolved by Nigeria Scholar, Dr. Opeyemi Enoch.
With this breakthrough, 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.
The Kogi State-born mathematician had, before now, worked on mathematical models and structures for generating electricity from sound, thunder and Oceanic bodies.
A statement in Ado Ekiti yesterday said Dr Enoch’s 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 by the Clay Mathematics Institute with a million Dollar reward for each solved problem for the past 16 years.
According to the statement; “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,” it stated.
Three of the problems had been solved and the prizes given to the winners. This makes it the fourth to be solved of all the seven problems.
Dr. Enoch had previously designed a Prototype of a silo for peasant farmers and also discovered a scientific technique for detecting and tracking someone on an evil mission.
Enoch has succeeded in inventing methods by which oil pipelines can be protected from vandalism and he is currently working on Mathematical approaches to Climate Change. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Congrats.Let us celebrate our own & fill the social media with the achievement.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation to all Nigerians, FUOYE and Nigeria academics,
ReplyDeleteThis is another evidence that we can do it if well supported with grant.
Congratulations the cerebral Doc.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Nigerians may not celebrate you because majority are negatively minded. Remain focus and pursue your vision.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. I'm proud to be a Nigerian.
ReplyDeleteContract Doc
ReplyDeleteCongrat.PMB,over to u to let us support this man for invention.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Dr. Your accolade is a proof of a sound mind borne out of Christ.
ReplyDeleteHe should be upgraded to the rank of a professor, he deserves it. Congratulations
