The 156 years old Riemann Hypothesis, the most important problem in Mathematics has been successfully solved by Nigeria Scholar, Dr Opeyemi Enoch.With this breakthrough, Dr Enoch, who teaches at the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE), has become the fourth egghead to resolve one of the seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics.
Dr. Enoch Opeyemi presented the proofs on 11th of November 2015,which coincidentally is the exact day and month that the problem was delivered by a German Mathematician in 1859,156 years ago.
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 sixteen years.
He revealed how these solutions are applicable in cryptography, quantum information science and in quantum computers.
These proofs were presented during the international Conference on Mathematics and Computer Science in Vienna, Austria.
Three of the problems have been solved and the prizes given to the winners. This makes it the fourth to be solved of all the seven problems.
This Scholar has before now, worked on mathematical models and structures for generating electricity from sound, thunder and Oceanic bodies. He previously designed a Prototype of a silo for peasant farmers and also discovered a scientific technique for detecting and tracking someone on an evil mission.
He has succeeded in inventing methods by which oil pipelines can be protected from vandalism and hes currently working on Mathematical approaches to Climate Change.
He hails from Isanlu in Kogi State.
