In English we use Latin based alphabet consisting of 26 letters: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z The Greek alphabet consists of 32 letters: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, digamma, stigma, zeta, heta, eta, theta, iota, yot, kappa, lamda, mu, nu, xi, omicron, pi, san, koppa, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega, sampi, sho and descended from the Phoenician abjad in the 8th or 9th century BC.

A zeta function is the function of the complex variable s which analytically continues the sum of the series 1/n^3 for all values from n=1 to infinity, which converges when the real part of s is greater than 1.
Alpha = 1 (1000) Beta = 2 (2000) Gamma = 3 (3000) Delta = 4 (4000) Epsilon = 5 (5000) Digamma = 6 (6000) Zeta = 7 (7000) Eta = 8 (8000) Theta = 9 (9000) Iota = 10 Kappa = 20 Lambda = 30 Mu = 40 Nu = 50 Xi = 60 Omicron = 70 Pi = 80 Qoppa = 90 Rho = 100 Sigma = 200 Tau = 300 Upsilon = 400 Phi = 500 Chi = 600 Psi = 700 Omega = 800 Sampi = 900 So, 2013 should be Beta (2000) Iota (10) Gamma (3) 2000+10+3=2013 That means it is "big"
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".
Zeta is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet.
It is the first letter of the spelled words of the Greek alphabet in order: alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa
The sixth Greek alphabet is the letter "Zeta," which is equivalent to the letter Z in the English alphabet. It has a numerical value of 7 in the Greek number system.
Zeta is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet and has a value of 7 in the Greek numerals system. The names of the letter Z in the UK "Zed" and "Zee" both derive from the word Zeta.
H - Eta (Ay-tah)
Z came from the Greek letter Zeta, which came from the Phoenician letter Zayin.
The letter z is from the Semitic Symbol zayin, which supposedly means 'weapon.' The Greek z was known as zeta, and in Latin, it was also zeta because of the Greek. Z is from the alphabet; it is the last of 26 letters.
The modern Greek alphabet has 24 letters and is derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet. The greek alphabet has been in use in one form or another since the 8th century BCE. The sixth letter of the modern Greek alphabet is "zeta".

The seventh letter of the greek alphabet is eta In modern Greek its η,Η (Eta) In ancient Greek it was ζ,Ζ (Zeta). That is because the ancient 6, which was the ''στ,ΣΤ'' is no longer used.
There is a zeta in the Greek alphabet but it is only the sixth letter. The letter omega occupies the last letter in the Greek alphabet much the same way z is the last letter of the English alphabet.
The opposite of alpha in the Greek alphabet is omega. Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet.
