Prime Numbers and the Riemann Hypothesis: : Barry Mazur, William Stein:…

Prime Numbers and the Riemann Hypothesis

Prime numbers are beautiful, mysterious, and beguiling mathematical objects. The mathematician Bernhard Riemann made a celebrated conjecture about primes in 1859, the so-called Riemann hypothesis, which remains one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics. Through the deep insights of the authors, this book introduces primes and explains the Riemann hypothesis. Students with a minimal mathematical background and scholars alike will enjoy this comprehensive discussion of primes. The first part of the book will inspire the curiosity of a general reader with an accessible explanation of the key ideas. The exposition of these ideas is generously illuminated by computational graphics that exhibit the key concepts and phenomena in enticing detail. Readers with more mathematical experience will then go deeper into the structure of primes and see how the Riemann hypothesis relates to Fourier analysis using the vocabulary of spectra. Readers with a strong mathematical background will be able to connect these ideas to historical formulations of the Riemann hypothesis.

Prime Numbers: The Most Mysterious Figures in Math

A fascinating journey into the mind–bending world of prime numbers Cicadas of the genus Magicicada appear once every 7, 13, or 17 years. Is it just a coincidence that these are all prime numbers? How do twin primes differ from cousin primes, and what on earth (or in the mind of a mathematician) could be sexy about prime numbers? What did Albert Wilansky find so fascinating about his brother–in–law′s phone number? Mathematicians have been asking questions about prime numbers for more than twenty–five centuries, and every answer seems to generate a new rash of questions. In Prime Numbers: The Most Mysterious Figures in Math, you′ll meet the world′s most gifted mathematicians, from Pythagoras and Euclid to Fermat, Gauss, and Erd?o?s, and you′ll discover a host of unique insights and inventive conjectures that have both enlarged our understanding and deepened the mystique of prime numbers. This comprehensive, A–to–Z guide covers everything you ever wanted to know––and much more that you never suspected––about prime numbers, including: ∗ The unproven Riemann hypothesis and the power of the zeta function ∗ The "Primes is in P" algorithm ∗ The sieve of Eratosthenes of Cyrene ∗ Fermat and Fibonacci numbers ∗ The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search ∗ And much, much more
