Srinivasa Ramanujan Was a Genius. Math Is Still Catching Up.
The article traces Ramanujan’s rise, his letters to Hardy, and the continuing spread of his identities across mathematics, including recent work in algebraic geometry.
Mathematician Yitang Zhang Claims to Have Proven Riemann Hypothesis Problem
The article says Yitang Zhang reported proving the Landau-Siegel zeros theory, a result tied to the Riemann hypothesis, but the claim was not yet verified and a paper was expected in November.
Riemann hypothesis
The hypothesis says every non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function has real part 1/2. It is still unproved, but it controls many results about primes and arithmetic functions.
