Since 1859, when the shy German mathematician Bernhard Riemann wrote an eight-page article giving a possible answer to a problem that had tormented mathematical minds for centuries, the world's greatest mathematicians have been fascinated, infuriated, and obsessed with proving the Riemann hypothesis. They speak of it in awed terms and consider it to be an even more difficult pr...(展开全部)

根据所受的教育，约翰·德比希尔（John Derbyshire）是一位数学家和语言学家；根据所从事的职业，他是一位系统分析师；而在业余时间，他是一位著名的作家。 他的成名作是《梦见柯立芝》（Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream），这部l996年出版的小说大受人们欢迎，亚德利（Jonathan Yardley）在《华盛顿邮报·图书世界》（Washington Post Book World）上对它赞赏有加，《纽约时报·书评》（The New York Times Book Review）、《纽约客》（The New Yorker）、《波士顿环球报》（The Bosun Globe）等报刊也一致给予好评。他的作品还频繁出现在《国家评论》（National Review）和《新标准》（The New Criterion）杂志上...(展开全部)

In 1859, Bernhard Riemann, a little-known thirty-two year old mathematician, made a hypothesis while presenting a paper to the Berlin Academy titled “On the Number of Prime Numbers Less Than a Given Quantity.” Today, after 150 years of careful research and exhaustive study, the Riemann Hyphothesis remains unsolved, with a one-million-dollar prize earmarked for the first person ...(展开全部)

The paperback of the critically-acclaimed popular science book by a writer who is fast becoming a celebrity mathematician. Prime numbers are the very atoms of arithmetic. They also embody one of the most tantalising enigmas in the pursuit of human knowledge. How can one predict when the next prime number will occur? Is there a formula which could generate primes? These apparen...(展开全部)

This text covers Riemann surface theory from elementary aspects to the frontiers of current research. Open and closed surfaces are treated with emphasis on the compact case, while basic tools are developed to describe the analytic, geometric, and algebraic properties of Riemann surfaces and the associated Abelian varities. Topics covered include existence of meromorphic functio...(展开全部)
