Unsolved Problem by Fields Medalist Breached by Two High School Students

Two high school students, David Shin and Eric Chen, have solved an unsolved problem in mathematics posed by Fields Medalist Terence Tao. The problem, which deals with the distribution of prime numbers, was first proposed in 2018. The solution, developed independently by the two students, involves a new method of analyzing the distribution of prime numbers using a technique called 'polynomial factorization'. Tao has confirmed the validity of the solution and has expressed his appreciation for the work of the two students.
