Nigerian academic solves mathematical problem that has stayed unsolved for 156 years

-- --

NIGERIAN mathematician Dr Opeyemi Enoch has successfully solved the most important and defiant problem in mathematics the 156 -year old Riemann Hypothesis that is likely to get him an entry into the Guinness World of Records.



With this breakthrough, Dr Enoch, who teaches at the Federal University, Oye Ekiti, has become only the fourth intellectual to resolve one of the seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics. A Kogi State-born mathematician, Dr Enoch, had, before now, worked on mathematical models and structures for generating electricity from sound, thunder and oceanic bodies.



Dr Enoch's presentation of his latest thesis on November 11 during the International Conference on Mathematics and Computer Science in Vienna, Austria becomes more symbolic coming on the exact day and month 156 years after the problem was delivered by a German mathematician in 1859. 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 16 years.



A Federal University Oye Ekiti spokesman said: “Dr Enoch first investigated and then established the claims of Riemann. He went on to consider and to correct the misconceptions that were communicated by mathematicians in the past generations, thus paving way for his solutions and proofs to be established.



“He also showed how other problems of this kind can be formulated and obtained the matrix that Hilbert and Poly predicted will give these undiscovered solutions. He revealed how these solutions are applicable in cryptography, quantum information science and in quantum computers.”



Dr Enoch had 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. In the past, he has also succeeded in inventing methods by which oil pipelines can be protected from vandalism and is currently working on mathematical approaches to climate change.
