The Riemann Hypothesis, in the simplest possible explanation, relates to how prime numbers are distributed
Dr Eswaran, 74, works with the Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad: It was a chance discovery, says Dr Kumar Eswaran, a mathematical physicist in the city, who claims to have found the solution to the Reimann Hypothesis, a millennium problem in mathematics. It was waiting for proof for 161 years, Dr Eswaran told this newspaper.
The Riemann Hypothesis, touted to be number one out of the top 10 unsolved mathematical problems, was designated as a millennium problem in 2000, with a reward of $1 million from Clay Mathematics Institute, Oxford, England, for anyone who could solve it.
