Largest puzzle in Maths Solved
The greatest puzzle in mathematics, called Konjac ABC, is solved. Shinichi Mochizuki, a mathematician at Kyoto University, listed four scientific papers explaining the conjecture online.
Proof of ABC conjecture elaborated by Mochizuki in 500 pages. PDF format data can be viewed on Mochizuki's website with the name Teichmuller Theory. The Guardian, Wednesday (19/09/2012), states, Mochizuki took about 4 years to solve the theory.
the mathematicians are now analyzing the description of Mochizuki to be confirmed the truth. If proven to be true, Mochizuki's work would be the greatest achievement in mathematics in this century. True or not Mochizuki's description will not be known in quick time.
ABC conjecture was first proposed by British mathematician David Masser with French mathematician Josep Oesterle in 1935. The theory has not been proven to be true in mathematical calculations.
ABC conjecture relates to the equation a + b = c. The conjecture relates to the numbers for a, b and c that have no equal divisor besides 1. The conjecture is also associated with prime numbers, primes greater than 1 having no divisors other than 1 and the numbers themselves.
Simply put, if there is a prime number divided by a or b several times then the sum should be equal to the number of prime numbers divided by c only several times. An example is a sum operation of 81 = 64 = 145.
Number 3 divides 81 four times. while 2 divides 64 by 6 times. However, 145 equals 5 x 29. So it will be found that the largest prime numbers, 5 and 29, divide 145 only by 1 time to get numbers that can not be subdivided by the numbers themselves
new York Times on Tuesday (9/17/2012) reported that the interesting thing about Mochizuki's description is not only the brilliant description itself, but also the "language" of mathematics used. the language used is completely new.
"He uses a completely new language, you can say, a new universe in mathematical objects, to describe something unusual in the universe," said Minhyong Kim, a mathematician at the University of Oxford.
mochizuki does not describe himself as a mathematician, but an inter-universal geometer. Is that? many mathematicians have not understood it well. Nevertheless, Michizuki is believed to be a qualified person in mathematics.

As far as I understand nobody has been able to completely verify Mochizuki's proof. However, a bit of progress has been made in a further understanding of the proof. For example see newscientist.
