Counting from Infinity: Yitang Zhang and the Twin Prime Conjecture (2015)
A film directed by George CsicseryProduced by MSRI In April 2013, a lecturer at the University of New Hampshire submitted a paper to the Annals of Mathematics. Within weeks word spread—an little-known mathematician, with no permanent job, working in complete isolation had made an important breakthrough towards solving the Twin Primes Conjecture.
Yitang Zhang’s techniques for bounding the gaps between primes soon led to rapid progress by the Polymath Group, and a further innovation by James Maynard. The film is a study of Yitang Zhang’s rise from obscurity and a disadvantaged youth to mathematical celebrity.
The story of Zhang’s quiet perseverance amidst adversity, and his preference for thinking and working in solitude, is interwoven with a history of the Twin Primes Conjecture as told by several mathematicians, many of whom have wrestled with this enormously challenging problem in Number Theory—Daniel Goldston, Kannan Soundararajan, Andrew Granville, Peter Sarnak, Enrico Bombieri, James Maynard, Nicholas Katz, David Eisenbud, Ken Ribet, and Terry Tao. |
