A Nigerian lecturer, Dr. Opeyemi Enoch who lectures at the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) has made a name for himself across the globe after solving the 156 years old Riemann Hypothesis, the most important problem in Mathematics.
This enviable feat makes him the fourth person to be able
to resolve one of the Seven Millennium Problems in Mathematics. 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 and he has won himself a million dollar reward.
The mathematician is said to have made his presentation
on the proof during the International Conference on Mathematics and Computer
Science in Vienna, Austria on November 11, 2015. Making it more interesting is
that it coincides with the exact day and month 156 years after the problem was
delivered by a German Mathematician in 1859.
Prior to this achievement the Kogi state born genius has
worked on mathematical models and structures for generating electricity from
sound, thunder and Oceanic bodies.
He had also 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. Dr. Enoch has succeeded in inventing
methods by which oil pipelines can be protected from vandalism and he is
currently working on Mathematical approaches to Climate Change
According to a statement in Ado Ekiti, “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,” it stated.
