It's highly unlikely that he solved it. And even if he had, it still needs verification from his peers, among whom are Terrence Tao & co. These guys won't let it pad without checking. Only after his peers have checked can we say he has solved it. Perelman's proof of the Poincare's conjecture went through several stages of verification, with the mathematician visiting several US universities and describing the details of his proof, before a general consensus that he had indeed solved it. Until his peers come out to say something, he hasn't done nothing.  |

PunkyVeer: Smh. The writing was on the wall all along but you chose to ignore the signs. No sane person, no matter how decent & "wifey" they are, takes not one, not two, not even three but FOUR FLIPPIN YEARS to respond to someone's advances. She didn't do that out of "decency", she simply wasn't into you. Period.
Yes, you got used & guess what? YOU let it happen. How can you allow yourself to hang dry for four years? That doesn't get you much respect. It reeks of desperation. I'm sorry but you have yourself to blame on this one by putting yourself as "option Z" to some girl I'm very certain is NOT worth it on all levels. So correct. 100% endorsed. |

Education › Re: Nigerian Lecturer Solves 156 Year Old Mathematical Problem by MathsChic(f): 5:49pm On Nov 15, 2015 |
olamibobo: Nigerian, Dr. Opeyemi Enoch, has solved the 156 years old Riemann Hypothesis, one of the seven most important problems in Mathematics.
Enoch, a lecturer with the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE), became the fourth to resolve one of the seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics.
The mathematician, an indigene of Kogi State, is reputed to have been working before now on mathematical models and structures for generating electricity from sound, thunder and Oceanic bodies.
I a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Saturday, Dr Enoch presented the Proof on November 11, 2015 during the International Conference on Mathematics and Computer Science in Vienna, Austria, in what was seen as being symbolic, as it happened on the exact day and month 156 years after the problem was delivered by a German Mathematician in 1859.
According to reports, 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.
The statement reads in part: “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”.
Three of the seven problems had been solved and the prizes given to the winners. Dr. Enoch makes it the fourth to be solved.
The mathematician had Enoch had, before now, designed a Prototype of a silo for peasant farmers and also discovered a scientific technique for detecting and tracking anybody on an evil mission.
He was also reputed to have successfully invented methods of protecting oil pipelines from vandalism and he is at the moment working on Mathematical approaches to Climate Change.

frank043: It's obvious you have written your name on the firm's wall of fame. Note that not getting fired and the attitude of your colleagues clearly goes to attest to that fact. Don't be discouraged by that, be positive and move on. You shouldn't expect them to like you anyway, since the atmosphere of your work environment seems to promote some sort of competition among you guys. I have NEVER heard of anyone that left cos of perceived unfriendliness of colleagues. I hope the pay is cool and you enjoy what you are doing? Cos to me that's a few of the justified reason to resign. A friend ones told me when I was much pretty younger that I should try and get paid for doing what I love doing, even if the pay ain't cool, I gat the motivation. SUCCESS ma'am... The sky is your start point jare... Forget about BADBELLES! Thanks for your advice. You summed it up pretty well. The competition is INTENSE! Intense is probably an understatement. It's under such atmosphere that you need to watch your back incessantly it starts to bother on paranoia, lol. Thanks though. I'll try not to be discouraged and press on.  |

Laplacian: can u write out one or two of his other questns? Each of the interior angles of a heptagon (a seven-sided polygon) is obtuse and the number of degrees in each angle is a multiple of 9. No two angles are equal. Find in degrees the sum of the largest two angles in the heptagon. Let abcd be a four digit number with the following properties: a + b + c + d = ab = c x d, where ab denotes the two-digit number 10a + b. What is the remainder when the largest number with these properties is divided by 1000? |

ladokuntlad: Briony takes a standard pack of 52 cards and throws some cards away. However she makes sure she keeps all four aces among the remaining cards. She then selects four cards at random from these remaining cards. If the probability of her selecting the four aces is 1/1001, how many cards did she throw away? Let number of cards Briony now has be x. Probability of selecting four aces in a row in pack is (4/x).(3/(x-1)).(2/(x-2)).(1/(x-3)) = 1/1001 24/(x.(x-1).(x-2).(x-3))=1/1001 x.(x-1).(x-2).(x-3)=24.1001 x=14 is a positive solution. Others are negative and complex. Hence Briony has 14 cards. She had 52 before and so must have thrown away 52-14 = 38 cards. Not too sure about answer sha  |

ladokuntlad: The integer n is the smallest positive multiple of 15 such that every digit of n is either 0 or 2. Compute n/15 Okay, for integer n which is the smallest positive multiple of 15 such, and has only 0 or 2 as digits, we need to look at possible solutions. Firstly though, we can assume multiplicant m, to give m*15 = n. In order for multiplicant m to give integer n, we can see that multiplicant has to end with an even number, i.e. set of (2,4,6,  . Termination in an odd number will give integer n which has a '5' in its digits. Secondly, n has to be divisible by both 5 & 3. This means that n (which is made up of only 0 & 2) can only end in a '0' and not a '2'. So, we have *****0 as the n we are looking for. This makes '20' available as possible number. Obviously not the answer, anyways. Again, number in tenth position cannot be a '0', hence n/5 will produce another number which will end in a '0' and will not be divisible by '3'. So, we can only have ****20. Next, we can attempt 220. 220/5 = 44 which is not divisible by 3. So, we move on with ***220. We have next, 2220 or 2020. 2020/5 = 404 which is not divisible by 3. However, 2220/5 = 444 which is divisible by 3. Sorry, Edit: Hence, smallest multiple n is 148  |

TheSuperNerd: Ma'am, I sure do.
After dominating Africa for so long (11-times African Champs in Scrabble at all levels-- single and team events), it was only a matter of time we "beat" the world to emerge "GLOBAL CHAMPS". The English are so miffed at this because it's their "language". Hahaha..... Cool. Guess being the originator of something doesn't necessarily make one a master at it right? Well, not in all cases anyway.....*smiles*
Scrabble is my 2nd favorite "intellectual" pasttime/game. I love word plays. Good for the Frontal cortex. Sudoku is my 3rd favorite. But my best of all is "Chess"»»»»» "Game of the Strategists and the Calculatives"
*smiles*
Never knew I'll see a lady on NL with admirable "Maths Ingenuity"....... Pretty cool.
I got someone by the name "Profmathsland".... Maybe you guys can rub minds.
Thing is he doesn't know about the "NL maths clinic" (opened his NL account before me but hasn't been online for a long while, he just made a comeback)...... And yeah, I "called" his name here with the hope that he opens his mentions and get to meet you. (By reading this).
Ma'am, I just made the discovery of that "cool maths thread" in the early hours of this morning. Interesting stuffs and cool individuals. *not bad*
I'll appreciate your taking this seriously because like you, he loves "Maths" and talks "maths". Football is the only other thing he loves apart from his faith of course.
Really Ma'am, I find your "sapiosexual" kind interesting and kinda rare. There are a few others I've seen like you but you guys come in "scarce quantities".
Ever heard of the Fields medal?? Or Grigori Perelman?? Or John Nash?? Yeah.... "Those heights" *smiles*
P.S: Profmathsland is my "Big Brother". I'm sure he'll be excited to see you guys in the "NL MATHS CLINIC". He may be a bit "odd" but he's gungho on "anything" MATHS.
I have keen interests in Maths too but more on the "Mathematical Physics" and "Mathematical Statistics" side. Maths and Physics as Applied to Medicine and Science Research is part of "my thing". Though, I try to "brush up" from time to time on other Maths aspects (hey! I hold no maths degree aiit......*smiles*). My favorites remain Calculus and Geometry. (But don't expect me on that section anytime soon. Hahaha.... Time will probably come for that. My programs and studies are quite rigorous and I use the "NL Sports" section to cool off). For now, expect Profmathsland......*smiles*
With people like you around as with some others, I see "A GREAT PEOPLE RISING" from Africa in "Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathemtics (S.T.E.M)" as a whole especially in the "Physical sciences".
Another Variation to S.T.E.M is "STEMM" (same as STEM but the last letter stands for Medicine). Other S.T.E.M variations exist as well.
Godbless Ma'am.........
I PM'd you.... *smiles* This is impressive!  Thanks for the compliments. I see myself mostly as a learner, however. One name stands out in your writing: Perelman. Genius! It's a pity he doesn't do maths anymore. At least not actively like the bunch of guys who worked on the Ricci flow like he did. I see you are at John Hopkins. That's a good one. Wish you the best there. And you do play chess? I do too. We should play sometime, if that's okay  |
