Academic Dr Opeyemi Enoch, above, from the Federal University of Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) in Nigeria, says he was persuaded by his students to tackle it. The hypothesis, which was proposed by mathematician Bernard Riemann in 1859, concerns the distribution of prime numbers. It one of seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics, puzzles chosen by The Clay Mathematics Institute that carries a prize of £658,000 if solved. But Enoch, who claims to have made the breakthrough in 2010, says it was the challenge itself, not the money, that made him devote his time to it. The motivation was because my students trusted that the solution could come from me not because the financial reward and that was why I started trying to solve the problem in the first place, he told the BBC. |
