Very Good++.After the publication of his paper "On computable numbers," Turing had begun investigating the Riemann zeta-function calculation, an aspect of the Riemann hypothesis concerning the distribution of prime numbers. (In 1900 Hilbert listed proving or disproving this hypothesis as one of the most important unsolved problems confronting mathematics; when this bibliography was written, the hypothesis remained unproven.) Turing's work on this problem was interrupted by World War II, but in 1950 he resumed his investigations with the aid of the Manchester University Mark I. (Mind, Chapter 5, p. 468). This paper describes the first use of a digital computer to calculate the zeros of the Reimann Zeta Function. The Zeta Function is of great significance in number theory because of its relation to the distribution of prime numbers. It also has applications in other areas such as physics, probability theory, and applied statistics (Hook & Norman Origins of Cyberspace #938). . //// DW ////Ask for pictures. //// DW ////Ask for pictures.
