Description
Bernhard Riemann was a child math prodigy who began studying for a degree in theology before committing to mathematics. His work had a decisive impact on the shape of mathematics, shaping it over the next century and a half.
In Simply Riemann, author Jeremy Gray provides an introduction to Riemann's life and paradigm-defining work, exploring his contributions to geometry, functions of a complex variable, prime numbers, and functions of a real variable. The book sheds light on the famous Riemann hypothesis, considered by many as the most important unsolved problem in mathematics today.
Gray offers an intellectually stimulating account of Riemann's life and work, revealing a man who pioneered the concept of a multidimensional reality and saw his work as a way to serve God. This comprehensive biography opens a door on one of the 19th century's most profound thinkers.
