Bernhard Riemann is read about 905 times a day, in 102 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?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.

, As is known, scientific physics dates its existence from the discovery of the differential calculus.
Magnitude-notions are only possible where there is an antecedent general notion which admits of different specialisations.
Definite portions of a manifoldness, distinguished by a mark or by a boundary, are called Quanta.

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.
