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.

HYDERABAD: City-based mathematical physicist, Kumar Eswaran, has claimed to have found proof for Riemann Hypothesis (RH), a mathematical problem unsolved for the past 161 years.
Considered the top-most mathematical problem of the top 10 unsolved mathematical problems by American mathematician Stephen Smale, the RH fundamentally helps in counting the prime numbers and also gives a method of generating large random numbers. In 2000, it was designated as a millennium problem, one of the seven mathematical problems selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute of Cambridge, Mass, USA.
It announced a reward of $1 million dollars for its solution.
Kumar Eswaran, a mathematical physicist at Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology, Hyderabad placed his research titled ‘the final and exhaustive proof of the Riemann Hypothesis from first principles’ on the internet almost five years ago. In spite of all this, there was a reluctance on the part of the editors of inte
