Riemann Hypothesis - Numberphile

Featuring Professor Edward Frenkel. Here is the biggest (?) unsolved problem in maths... The Riemann Hypothesis.

CORRECTION: At 7:20 the zeta function of 2 should be (Pi^2)/6 as correctly stated earlier in the video (Basel Problem)

Riemann: Makes a statement without any proof. Is widely regards in the mathematics world.
Me: Makes a statement without any proof. Gets 0 in exam.

[monkeseeaction]

And the proof of the Riemann hypothesis is trivial and left to the reader as an exercise.

This is easily the most readable handwriting of any mathematician in the history of mathematics

8:55 I love how he answered "Da" in response to Brady's question and then corrected it to yes 😆

[elirane]

Not sure why but his Russian accent makes me understand math better.
My all time favorite Numberphile video.

[PRT]

His way of explaining things is really amazing. He simplifies the things very nicely.

not quite true - Grigori was willing to accept the 1, 000, 00.00$USD prize however on condition that the award was co-awarded to another mathematician Richard S Hamilton the pioneer of the Ricci Flow whom Perelman credited with providing the basis for his own work - the committee declined to do this and instead simply withdrew the prize money denying both Perelman and his fellow mathematician Hamilton - I quote "Perelman refused to accept the Millennium prize in July 2010. He considered the decision of the Clay Institute unfair for not sharing the prize with Richard S. Hamilton and stated that "the main reason is my disagreement with the organised mathematical community. I don't like their decisions, I consider them unjust."

"you can mark your favourite fractions" said like a true mathematician lol

[alexhoffmann]

8:54 "да... uh, yes"
I love this Russian guy.

[Cold_Ham_on_Rye]

This should be a series. Like I would love to see a video on all the Millennium Problems. Especially the one that was solved. 

[brandonfreese]

I studied engineering, but listening to this magician talk about Maths really makes me feel like I should have gone into Maths. It's always such a pleasure to have a teacher or lecturer be patient about the work they're teaching. It inspires students far more than anything else.

[JDSpartan]

Ten damn years later and this is still one of the best explanations I've ever seen of the Riemann zeta function and hypothesis.

[TheGamblermusic]

my daily job is to sell fruits and vegetables, I was pretty bad at school in mathematics, and i'm here watching hours of mathemematical videos and i enjoy them so such because I can actually follow up.
Thank you numberphile, deeply.

[MrZombieexpert]

I love how Grady, who obviously really enjoys mathematics, can phrase a question to the guest like he's never seen an integral or a derivative in his life.

[jschnabes]

I could listen to this man talk about math forever. He makes the incredibly complex easy to understand for the laymen.

[hermannballesterosv]

The best explanation yet to a very complex problem. This man is an exemplary teacher.

[derekpezzella]

I love how passionate the speakers are in Numberphile videos.

[Caighy]

This has been the simplest explanation of complex numbers, ever.

[itisinfactpaul]

Fun fact: quantum computing algorithms have successfully managed to find prime numbers using a method that is only effective if the Riemann Hypothesis is correct. Of course, that's empirical evidence, not a mathematical proof, but maybe that just makes it even more interesting!
