news.com.com.com.com.com reports: A mathematician at Purdue University claims to have come up with a proof for the Riemann hypothesis, often called the greatest unsolved math problem, although the work has yet to be peer-reviewed.
Louis de Branges de Bourcia, the Edward C. Elliott Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Purdue's School of Science, this week posted a 23-page paper detailing his attempts at a proof. http://news.com.com/Riemann+hypothesis+may+have+been+solved/2100-7348_3-5229702.html?tag=nefd.top Link to the actual paper: http://www.math.purdue.edu/~branges/ Actual practical impact on cryptography? Likely zero, even if it turns out the proof is correct (which of course we don't know yet), but it still is neat for math geeks. -- Perry E.
