In this book, the author pays tribute to Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866), mathematician with revolutionary ideas, whose work on the theory of integration, the Fourier transform, the hypergeometric differential equation, etc. contributed immensely to mathematical physics. This book …
This book explores the work of Bernhard Riemann and its impact on mathematics, philosophy and physics. It features contributions from a range of fields, historical expositions, and selected research articles that were motivated by Riemann's ideas and demonstrate their timelessne…
Eight essays trace seminal ideas about the foundations of geometry that led to the development of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Ce Petit traité d'intégration développe une approche originale de l'intégrale. Cette approche, que l'on pourrait qualifier de globale, est due aux deux mathématiciens Jaroslaw Kurzweil et Ralph Henstock. L'enseignement de l'intégration se fait d'ordinaire en deux temps. On début…
In the 17th century, scientist and mathematician Galileo Galilei noted that the book of nature "cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics ... without which …

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.
