In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture (a statement believed to be true but not yet proven) that all the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, which plays a crucial role in the distribution of prime numbers, have a real part of 1/2. It is named after Bernhard Riemann, who proposed it in 1859.
The Riemann hypothesis is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, which are seven mathematical problems selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. The institute has offered a US$1 million prize for the solution of each problem. The Riemann hypothesis is widely regarded as the most important of the seven Millennium Prize Problems.
The Riemann hypothesis has far-reaching implications for number theory, including the distribution of prime numbers. It is believed to be true, but it remains one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics.
