did he really do it?, Oct 14 2010

This review is from: The Riemann Hypothesis and the Roots of the Riemann Zeta Function (Paperback)
I am not a professional mathematician, and of course I may have misunderstood ... but in this book the author appears to claim to have proved the most important and famous outstanding problem in mathematics: the Riemann Hypothesis.
After all, he says in the Summary at the end that his equations show that all the zeroes of the zeta function have real part 1/2, which sounds exactly like the Riemann Hypothesis ....
Now, his formulae look impressively profound and significant to me, with lots of cool-looking symbols and Greek letters, but what bothers me is ... why haven't I read about this in the New York Times? Because if the author really has solved the Riemann Hypothesis, it would seem to have merited at least a mention, and more likely a front-page article, in the Good Gray Lady.
So I'm starting to wonder .... could this be another one of those embarrassing episodes ... well, enough said.
