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

很少能看完一本书,这是我看完的第一本英文书,读起来有点金庸武侠的味道,欣赏Marcus du Sautoy这位科普明星,他的书和演讲都很有趣,我得说英文原著确实更精彩,尽管阅读过程中时不时碰到生词。也不知什么时候开始,黎曼假设的科普书多起来了。
