Riemann Hypothesis finally solved!
Maths Society is proud to exclusively announce that one of our members has solved the greatest mystery in mathematics. The Riemann Hypothesis, suggesting a specific pattern in the distribution of prime numbers, has been proved by an unexpected application of machine learning and fractal geometry.
The 2025 Breakthrough in Computing Pi
At the start of 2025, a team of researchers shattered the previous world record for computing digits of π (pi), pushing the known boundary of this famous irrational number even further. Using cutting-edge computational techniques, the researchers calculated over 120 trillion digits of pi, surpassing the previous record of 100 trillion digits set in 2022. This achievement is not just about setting records – it has important implications for computer science, numerical analysis, and even physics.
Million Dollar Question: The Riemann Hypothesis
A mathematical conjecture said to be one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics — carrying a $1 million reward.
The Millennium Prize Problems
Established by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000 to herald a new millennium of mathematics, the seven Millennium Prize Problems are among the most challenging and significant in the world of maths. Each problem brings with it a reward of $1 million for the first correct solution, a prize to inspire all kinds of mathematician to solve these notorious problems.
René Frédéric Thom
2 September
René Thom was born on 2 September 1923, and was a French mathematician who received the Fields Medal in 1958. He made his reputation as a topologist, moving on to aspects of singularity theory. He became famous among the wider academic community for his work as founder of catastrophe theory.
