Analytic number theory | Disproved conjectures
In mathematics, the Mertens conjecture is the statement that the Mertens function is bounded by . Although now disproven, it had been shown to imply the Riemann hypothesis. It was conjectured by Thomas Joannes Stieltjes, in an 1885 letter to Charles Hermite (reprinted in Stieltjes), and again in print by Franz Mertens, and disproved by Andrew Odlyzko and Herman te Riele.It is a striking example of a mathematical conjecture proven false despite a large amount of computational evidence in its favor.

Mertens Conjecture Disproof and the Riemann Hypothesis | MegaFavNumbers
#MegaFavNumbers The Mertens conjecture is a conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of the prime numbers. It can be seen as a stronger version of the Riemann hypothesis. It says that the Mertens function is bounded by sqrt(n). The Riemann hypothesis on the other hand only require

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?
This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Theory of numbers: Fermat's theorem
This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Fermat's theorem a^p = a mod p. We then define the order of a number mod p and use Fermat's theorem to show the order of a divides p-1. We apply this to testing some Fermat and Mersenne numbers to se

Here I prove the Heine-Borel Theorem, one of the most fundamental theorems in analysis. It says that in R^n, all boxes must be compact. The proof itself is very neat, and uses a bisection-type argument. Enjoy! Topology Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJb1qAQIrmmA13vj9xkHG
