Nigerian Scholar Solves 156-year-old Maths Equation in Austria

 

A Nigerian scholar,  Dr Enoch Opeyemi Oluwole, who teaches at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), has successfully resolved a 156-year-old Riemann Hypothesis, seen by scholars as “the most important problem in Mathematics” according to the Nigerian Tribune.

By providing a proof, Oluwole has thus, become the fourth egghead to resolve one of the seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics. A statement in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital ,on Sunday, said the don’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 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 the 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 explained.
