| | | | | 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... | |

| | | | | Problem: Prove there are infinitely many primes Solution: Denote by $ \pi(n)$ the number of primes less than or equal to $ n$. We will give a lower bound on $ \pi(n)$ which increases without bound as $ n \to \infty$. Note that every number $ n$ can be factored as the product of a square free number $ r$ (a number which no square divides) and a square $ s^2$. | |

| | | | | The ``probabilistic method'' is the art of applying probabilistic thinking to non-probabilistic problems. Applications of the probabilistic method often feel like magic. Here is my favorite example: Theorem (Erdös, 1965). Call a set $latex {X}&fg=000000$ sum-free if for all $latex {a, b \in X}&fg=000000$, we have $latex {a + b \not\in X}&fg=000000$. For any finite... | |

We discussed his... | ||
