Beskrivning
The definitive story of the Riemann Hypothesis, a fascinating and epic mathematical mystery that continues to challege the world.
In 1859, Bernhard Riemann, a little-known thirty-two year old mathematician, made a hypothesis while presenting a paper to the Berlin Academy titled “On the Number of Prime Numbers Less Than a Given Quantity.” Today, after 150 years of careful research and exhaustive study, the Riemann Hyphothesis remains unsolved, with a one-million-dollar prize earmarked for the first person to conquer it.

Alternating passages of extraordinarily lucid mathematical exposition with chapters of elegantly composed biography and history, Prime Obsession is a fascinating and fluent account of an epic mathematical mystery that continues to challenge and excite the world.

Som sagt spännande läsning. Har ej läst det hela än eftersom boken tog rätt lång tid att komma fram.
Men jag kan det mesta av bokens innehåll redan, det är bara att författaren har presenterat allting så bra.
Rekommenderas till mattestudenter från gymnasie och uppåt. - 4/5 Anders M
