sorry

Sorry for the complete lack of posts recently. There really just isn't much of note going on in my life right now (please realize that this is a relative measure ). Same old same old been going on with me: work, gym, a little reading. What am I reading? Very glad you asked:

Prime Obsession, its just a little book on the Riemann Hypothesis. Yes, I know, I know this is still one of the greatest unsolved problems in mathematics, but the book just seeks to explain the hypothesis in general, and give a background onto the mathematicians who played a roll in and around it. Hilbert says its somewhere around number eight, but it is probably the most worked on issue in the last 200 years.

Look up the zeta function, try to find the zeros (non-trivial of course) etc etc...

Anyway, aside from that just been taking it easy.
