Explains how the prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians, and recounts efforts to prove the Riemann Hypothesis, first suggested by Bernard Riemann in 1859, that would finally bring order and harmony to these numbers.

""How can you tell whether a number is prime? What if the number has hundreds or thousands of digits? This question may seem abstract or irrelevant, but in fact, primality tests are performed every time we make a secure online transaction. In 2002, Agrawal, Kayal, and Saxena ans…
In den sechs Semesiern vom W.-S. 1921-22 bis zum S.-S. 1924 habe ich an der Göttingen Universtät je eine 4-stündige Vorlesung über Zahlentheorie gehalten. Der lnhalt weicht derart von dem in den üblichen Lehrbüchern dargestellten Stoff ab, daß ich mich auf vielfachen Wunsch ents…

Prime numbers are beautiful, mysterious, and beguiling mathematical objects. The mathematician Bernhard Riemann made a celebrated conjecture about primes in 1859, the so-called Riemann hypothesis, which remains one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics. Through …
