Nigerian Lecturer, Opeyemi Enoch Solves 156-Year-Old Mathematics Problem, Wins $1Million



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 mathematicians 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.
