A brilliant 15 minute explanation on the Riemann Hypothesis by Berkeleys Prof. Edward Frenkel for Numberphile. This is the most clear explanation ever on an exceptionally difficult and complex topic which is part of the Millenium Prize problems posed by the Clay Mathematics Institute. Whomever proves or disproves the Riemann Hypothesis earns the 1m$ prize. The importance of the Riemann Zeta function, which is the base of the hypothesis, is given by its connections to the properties of prime numbers. Number theory, the mathematics branch that deals with the properties of numbers, is considered to be one of vital importance for math research. The Langlands program, in which Ed Frenkel will hold a course this spring, is aimed to investigate the unexpected connections that arise between seemingly different branches of mathematics.
