false 208916 7 <p>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> <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> 202196 2003 The Music of the Primes: Searching to Solve the Greatest Mystery in Mathematics total:126|5:35|4:65|3:23|2:3|1:0| 126 510 218 22 3 2 false false Wed Apr 15 15:25:19 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 15:25:52 -0700 2009
