Math Quiz !

Any folks like math? Try looking at this. Then follow the link and read the apology. High math mixed with Mathematical history.Pretty interesting stuff. If I only understood more of the math..--> MATHEMATICAL BREAKTHROUGH ENDANGERS ENCRYPTIONHave you heard of the Riemann Hypothesis? It says there are connections among seemingly random prime numbers. And a Purdue professor is publishing what he says is proof of the hypothesis.Prime numbers, such as 17 and 31, are divisible only by themselves or 1. Random prime numbers are crucial to encryption, which is used to protect commercial exchanges over the Internet.Among heavy-duty thinkers, there is concern that this breakthrough could make prime numbers predictable, rather than random. And that could nullify the benefits of encryption.In the year 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute offered $1 million to anyone who could solve one of seven math riddles. The Riemann Hypothesis is included in that seven. The professor, Louis de Branges, has published his solution on his Web site. It is enormously complicated, so it will be awhile before it is accepted or rejected.De Branges' paper is at:http://www.math.purdue.edu/~branges/
