| − | The '''Riemann hypothesis''' states that the non-trivial zeros of the [[Riemann Zeta function]] function all have real component <math>\frac{1}{2}</math>. The conjecture was first proposed by [[Bernhard Riemann]] in 1859 and is considered to be the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics. The hypothesis was listed as one of the seven [[Millennium problems]] by the Clay Mathematics Institute and there is a million dollar prize for its solution.<ref>http://www.claymath.org/millennium/</ref> The statement is essentially equivalent to the claim that the error term in the [[pime number theorem]] is small. Alternatively, the Riemann hypothesis can be thought of as a statement that the [[prime number]]s are very smoothly distributed. | + | The '''Riemann hypothesis''' states that the non-trivial zeros of the [[Riemann Zeta function]] function all have real component <math>\frac{1}{2}</math>.
