Mathematicians around the globe are faced with certain challenging unsolved problems that date back to the 1900s. During that time, a collection of 23 unsolved maths problems was put together by a famous mathematician - David Hilbert. And later Clay Mathematics Institute listed down seven such important problems till date and called them the 'Millenium Problems'. The nerd readers here must note that solving one of these Millennium Problems has a reward of US $1,000,000. And recently, a famous mathematician Yuri Matiyasevich has found a negative solution to one of Hilbert's problems and he's all set on working out the more challenging of maths problems - the Riemann's zeta function hypothesis, which happens to appear in both of those lists.

Interestingly in his presentation at the University of Leicester, he shared how difficult it is to prove the Riemann hypothesis by quoting the words of Hilbert himself, "If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: has the Riemann hypothesis been proven?" In the paper that he published, Matiyasevich has presented numerical evidence for a new method for revealing all divisors of all natural numbers from the zeroes of the RZF. This approach required a great supercomputing power, which is available thanks to the advent of necessary technology.
