Hardy stayed in Denmark with Bohr until the very end of the summer vacation, and when he was obliged to return to England to start his lectures there was only a very small boat available…. The North Sea can be pretty rough, and the probability that such a small boat would sink was not exactly zero. Still, Hardy took the boat, but sent a postcard to Bohr: “I proved the Riemann Hypothesis. G.H. Hardy.”If the boat sinks and Hardy drowns, everybody must believe that he has proved the Riemann Hypothesis. Yet God would not let Hardy have such a great honor and so He will not let the boat sink.

激动人心的一本书,前段时间看的卢昌海写的黎曼假设的科普文章似乎有很多取材于这一本。从十七章开始就有些不懂了,感觉作者在后半段把耐心透支了。例如对于域和环的观念,作者的解释相比书的前段少了很多。书翻译的质量也很高。
