# Bernhard Riemann

> He died at 39 and left behind a hypothesis that no one has proved in over 160 years — and if they do, the entire architecture of prime numbers shifts. Riemann didn't just solve problems; he redrew the map of where mathematics could go.

## Bio

Born in 1826 in Germany, Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann trained in mathematics at a time when rigor was still being invented. He gave the integral its first airtight definition, then turned to complex analysis and introduced Riemann surfaces — a way to treat functions geometrically that cracked open the field. In 1859 he published a paper on prime distribution that tucked a conjecture into a footnote: the Riemann hypothesis, still unproven, still central. His work on differential geometry laid the groundwork for the mathematics Einstein would need half a century later for general relativity. He died of tuberculosis in 1866, leaving a body of work so deep that mathematics is still climbing out of it.
