HOW TO EARN A MILLION DOLLARS

Prime-time mathematics


In World Mathematical Year 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute of North America listed seven of the most famous unsolved problems of mathematics, offering a prize of one million dollars for the solution of each. In this mini-series I explain the background behind two very contrasted Clay problems: the Riemann hypothesis on how prime numbers are distributed and the P = NP? problem on the efficiency of algorithms for solving problems.
