The Music of the Primes: Searching to Solve the Greatest Mystery in Mathematics
In 1859, German mathematician Bernhard Riemann presented a paper to the Berlin Academy that would forever change mathematics. At the heart of the presentation was an idea that Riemann had not yet proved--one that baffles mathematicians to this day. The subject was the mystery of prime numbers.
It would also have a profound impact on the cutting edge of science, affecting quantum mechanics, chaos theory, and the future of computing. Solving the Riemann Hypothesis could change the way we do business, since prime numbers are the lynchpin for security in banking and e-commerce. 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.
