(I forgot) Yesterday is the 194th birthday of one of the greatest mathematicians Bernhard Riemann was born in Breselenz in 1826. Student of Gauss, Riemann published work in the fields of analysis and geometry.

His biggest contribution was likely in the field of differential geometry, where he laid the groundwork for the geometric language later used in Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.

Among many other achievements, he made groundbreaking discoveries regarding the distribution of prime numbers. The “Riemann Hypothesis” is one of the most famous unsolved problems in #Mathematics

He made deep contributions to complex analysis and number theory but is best remembered by physicists for his work on the foundations of geometry that would provide the mathematical framework for general relativity.

Riemann Hypothesis is my current research topic.
The Riemann hypothesis is now regarded as the most significant unsolved problem in mathematics.
1/5
It claims there is a hidden pattern to the distribution of prime numbers-numbers that can’t be factored, such as 5, 7, 41, and, oh, 1,000,033. The hypothesis has been shown experimentally to hold for the first 100 billion cases, which would be proof enough for

an accountant or even a physicist. But not for a mathematician.
Since the death of Riemann in 1866 at the modest age of 39, his groundbreaking papers has remained a landmark in the field of primes- and analytic number theory.
