He is the kind of teacher who uses chalk on whiteboard
Edit: 100 Likes let’s goo

And then the teacher blocks the whiteboard, and when we say that we dont see anything, she says of course, im not transparent

MARK

Bro took off his glasses to see better 😂🤣

This is what happens when you don’t pay attention to the board for 1 second 💀

AlexMexicanZap

when you didn't want to write formulas like that😂😂

t.cameramen

then he erases it 10 seconds after and says "you had time to copy"

Bro threw the invisibility potion at his marker 💀

The third question in Baldi's Basics be like:

GottaRuh

You've heard i=imaginary... now we have xg6=i. Solve with real numbers only. 😈

Since when has david goggins become a teacher

AINT no way he expected us to read Allat 💀

If you know BODMAS algorithm it's easy.

The Riemann Hypothesis is indeed a fascinating and profound conjecture in mathematics with deep implications for number theory, particularly concerning the distribution of prime numbers. Let's break down some of the key elements in more detail.

### The Riemann Hypothesis

The Riemann Hypothesis states that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, $\zeta(s)$, lie on the critical line in the complex plane, $\Re(s) = \frac{1}{2}$. These zeros are of the form $s = \frac{1}{2} + it$, where $t$ is a real number.

### The Riemann Zeta Function

The zeta function $\zeta(s)$ is initially defined for complex numbers $s = \sigma + it$ with $\Re(s) > 1$ as:

\[
\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}
\]

This series converges absolutely for $\Re(s) > 1$. However, the zeta function can be extended to other values of $s$ (except $s = 1$) through a process called analytic continuation. The function has trivial zeros at the negative even integers ($-2, -4, -6, \ldots$).

### Importance of the Riemann Hypothesis

The hypothesis has significant implications for understanding the distribution of prime numbers. It suggests that primes are distributed as regularly as possible, given their known asymptotic density described by the Prime Number Theorem.

### Implications

If the Riemann Hypothesis is true, it would lead to a more precise understanding of the error term in the Prime Number Theorem. This would refine our knowledge about the density and gaps between successive prime numbers.

### History and Status

- **Proposed by Bernhard Riemann**: Riemann introduced this hypothesis in his 1859 paper, "On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude."
- **Unproven**: Despite extensive efforts by many mathematicians, no one has yet proven or disproven the hypothesis.
- **Millennium Prize Problem**: It is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, with a reward of $1 million for a correct proof.

### Non-trivial Zeros

Non-trivial zeros are the complex zeros of the zeta function that lie in the critical strip, $0 < \Re(s) < 1$. The hypothesis claims that these zeros all have their real part equal to $\frac{1}{2}$.

### Example Problems and Exercises

1. **Convergence of the Zeta Function's Series for $\Re(s) > 1$**:
- The series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$ converges absolutely for $\Re(s) > 1$ because each term $\frac{1}{n^s}$ diminishes rapidly as $n$ increases. This can be shown by comparison to the integral test or by noting that the series resembles a p-series $\sum \frac{1}{n^p}$ with $p > 1$.

2. **Evaluating $\zeta(s)$ for Simple Cases**:
- For $s = 2$, we have the well-known result:
\[
\zeta(2) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}
\]
- For $s = 1$, the series diverges, leading to a pole at $s = 1$.

3. **Understanding the Critical Strip**:
- The critical strip is defined by the region $0 < \Re(s) < 1$ in the complex plane. The Riemann Hypothesis asserts that all non-trivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ within this strip lie on the line $\Re(s) = \frac{1}{2}$.

These example problems help illustrate some foundational aspects of the Riemann zeta function and why the Riemann Hypothesis is such a central topic in number theory. If you have any more specific questions or need further clarification on any aspect, feel free to ask!
