| | | | Introduction. This is the first of what I hope will be a long series of posts aimed at providing back-up to first-year Cambridge mathematicians. This may seem a strange thing to do, since the Cambridge system of supervisions (classes taught on a one-to-two basis, usually discussing questions set by lecturers) already provides an excellent back-up... | |

| | | | There are lots of rising stars in math. There are a number of superstars too. (Exercise for the interested reader: browse through the laudatios for all the recent high-profile prizes, see what names pop up again and again.) But every once in a while comes a person to whom others feel called. Think Grothendieck. The... | |

| | The Riemann Hypothesis Perhaps the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics is to explain the distribution of the prime numbers. The overall ``thinning out'' of the primes less than some number $latex {N}&fg=000000$, as $latex {N}&fg=000000$ increases, is well understood, and is demonstrated by the Prime Number Theorem (PNT). In its simplest form, PNT states that... |
