Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866)

ζ-Trek

"To seek out numeric properties and prime positions;
to boldly prove where no man has proved before!"

Summary: An expedition to conquer the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics - the Riemann Hypothesis. By amateurs across the world. An ongoing workshop presented by Compasswallah. Began Oct. 19, 2011.
