In 1859 Bernhard Riemann, a shy German mathematician, wrote an eight-page article, suggesting an answer to a problem that had long puzzled mathematicians. For the next 150 years, the world's mathematicians have longed to confirm the Riemann hypothesis. So great is the interest in its solution that in 2001, an American foundation offered a million-dollar prize to the first person to demonstrate that the hypothesis is correct. Karl Sabbagh's book paints vivid portraits of the mathematicians who spend their days and nights on the race to solve the problem. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I actually got this a long time ago when I was interested in doing a maths degree. That didn't work out in the end (long story short) but I kept the book because I found this subject interesting from a layman's perspective. I think the author did a good job of explaining it in layman's terms. But he seems a bit enamoured by this one mathematician that the maths community doesn't take seriously... and then prints an excerpt of the supposed proof that this guy came up with in an appendix at the end of the book, which is impenetrable to a layman. So there's a bit of a jump there between knowing nothing and knowing everything that he doesn't really bridge properly. (
