Several mathematicians have addressed the Riemann hypothesis, but none of their attempts have yet been accepted as correct solutions.
It is not so much an equation, as a function. Since the definition is fairly complicated, I suggest you visit the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function ... or do additional Web searches either for "Riemann hypothesis" or "Riemann zeta function".
Because even though a lot of people have worked on it, none of them has been able to either prove it or disprove it yet.

Several mathematicians have addressed the Riemann hypothesis, but none of their attempts have yet been accepted as correct solutions.
Riemann hypothesis was created in 1859.
Riemann zeta function, Riemann hypothesis, Theory of higher dimensions, Riemannian metric
The Riemann Hypothesis was a conjecture(a "guess") made by Bernhard Riemann in his groundbreaking 1859 paper on Number Theory. The conjecture has remained unproven even today. It states the "The real part of the non trivial zeros of the Riemann Zeta function is 1/2"
There is more than one. You might be thinking of the Riemann hypothesis (also called the Riemann zeta-hypothesis). Or in Complex analysis we have Riemann mapping theorem and he certainly has many more attributed to him/ So, not sure which one you want to know about.

Short answer? Be smarter than everyone that has come before. The Riemann Hypothesis is a long-standing conjecture in mathematics that states that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line of 1/2. Despite much effort, a proof for the Riemann Hypothesis has not yet been found and it remains one of the most famous open problems in mathematics. Solving the Riemann Hypothesis requires a deep understanding of number theory and complex analysis, as well as a new insight or approach to the problem. Many mathematicians and researchers have attempted to solve the Riemann Hypothesis over the years, but so far, no proof has been accepted by the mathematical community. Until a proof is found, the Riemann Hypothesis remains one of the most important and challenging open problems in mathematics.
