In 1859, German mathematician Bernhard Riemann presented a paper
to the Berlin Academy that would forever change mathematics. The
subject was the mystery of prime numbers. At the heart of the
presentation was an idea that Riemann had not yet proved--one that
baffles mathematicians to this day.
Solving the Riemann Hypothesis could change the way we do
business, since prime numbers are the lynchpin for security in
banking and e-commerce. It would also have a profound impact on the
cutting edge of science, affecting quantum mechanics, chaos theory,
and the future of computing. Leaders in math and science are trying
to crack the elusive code, and a prize of $1 million has been
offered to the winner. In this engaging book, Marcus du Sautoy
reveals the extraordinary history behind the holy grail of
mathematics and the ongoing quest to capture it.
