It was not until 1831 that he overcame these doubts and published his treatise on complex numbers as points in the plane, [32] largely establishing modern notation and terminology: [33]

In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part 1 2. Many consider it to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. [1]
5 hours ago · In 1844, a record was set by Zacharias Dase, who employed a Machin-like formula to calculate 200 decimals of π in his head at the behest of German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. In 1853, British mathematician William Shanks calculated π to 607 digits, but made a mistake in the 528th digit, rendering all subsequent digits incorrect ...
