Prime numbers continue to be a mysterious existence. In the mid-19th century, Riemann, the "Wagner of the mathematical world," heard a delicate harmony hidden within prime numbers, which seemed like mere noise. A non-fiction work depicting the figures of geniuses who challenged the century-spanning difficult problem "Riemann Hypothesis" and tried to listen to the music played by prime numbers, including Hilbert, the "giant" of the mathematical world, Hardy, the "aesthete," and Littlewood, the "bodyguard," and Connes, the "revolutionary." Table of Contents (from the "BOOK" database) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? / Atoms that Make Up Arithmetic / Riemann's Imaginary Mirror / Riemann Hypothesis: From Random Primes to Ordered Zeros / Mathematical Relay Race: Riemann's Revolution Becomes Reality / Ramanujan, the Man Who Received the Secret of Mathematics / From Göttingen to Princeton: The Mass Migration of Mathematicians / Brain Machines / The Computer Age: From the Mind to the Desk / Prime Factorization and Code Breaking / From Ordered Zeros to Quantum Chaos / The Missing Jigsaw Puzzle Piece Author Information (from the "BOOK" database) du Sautoy, Marcus Born in 1965. Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. Currently, he also serves as the second professor of the "Simonyi Professorship for the Public Understanding of Science," following Richard Dawkins.
