Primes and Zeros: A Million Dollar Mystery
Just over 150 years ago, Bernhard Riemann proposed a hypothesis that would explain a great regularity in the occurrence of prime numbers. But to this day we have been unable to prove Riemann's Hypothesis. In this talk we will give some of the colorful history and anecdotes that surround this most important unsolved problem in all of mathematics.
