Now, at a moment when mathematicians are finally moving in on a proof, Dartmouth professor Dan Rockmore tells the riveting history of the hunt for a solution.<br><br>In 1859 German professor Bernhard Riemann postulated a law capable of describing with an amazing degree of accuracy the occurrence of the prime numbers. Rockmore takes us all the way from Euclid to the mysteries of quantum chaos to show how the Riemann hypothesis lies at the very heart of some of the most cutting-edge research going on today in physics and mathematics. 734965 9 5 2006 Stalking the Riemann Hypothesis: The Quest to Find the Hidden Law of Prime Numbers total:11|4:4|3:2|2:5| 11 32 20 3 2 0 false false Mon Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 05:00:17 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 05:07:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Apr 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Feb 06 07:45:37 -0800 2009 Mon Apr 06 11:08:44 -0700 2009
