The real proof might be here at last. One of the greatest mathematicians alive, Sir Atiya Micheal, is set to provide a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, a mathematical problem dating over a century. Many have claimed to solve this problem, but the real proof still eludes mathematicians across the globe. His proof might be the solution to one of the most famous open problems in mathematics.

I will be reporting live from Germany tomorrow, in the Heidelberg laureate forum, a meeting which is aimed at bringing together laureates of Mathematics and Computer science and young promising researchers in those fields, for close interaction and possible mentorship.

This is important, how can I push it to front page? Mods, please help me push this to the promise land.

Hope the equation go make sense o . Not like that cauchy-reimann nonsense that is limited

Like all human endeavours, there is limit to all mathematical theory. However, I will like to disagree with you though that cauch-reimann equations are useless. Without analytic functions, there wouldn't have been several fields of engineering, computer science and the likes, where assumptions are made about analiticity of several functions. One important use of cauchy-reimann equations is to show that a function is analytic.

I agree , but when we are talking in terms of application ,most analytical functions tend to be limited because most mathematical problems, and their applications are numerical in nature .

Pure mathematics have no application in it's sense. It's just analytics and intuition. But a step further with it can be an ice breaker

Pure mathematics is usually ahead, while it application comes as the understanding of the concept increases. For instance, quantum mechanics was developed in pure maths and for several years no one seems to see its applicability. But the story is completely different now. Quantum mechanics is now being widely applied in physics, information technology, etc. The same argument goes for several concepts in Number theory, geometry, and the list continues. The problem is that, several mathematician in Nigeria, who are lecturers often fail to teach pure maths the way it should. They should put extra effort to identify areas of application of these theories and theorems either in other areas of maths or else where.

No that they are not taught well. In the whole of South south we don't have up to 10 Pure Mathematicians in academics

Just imagine that.
