Prime Obsession is an engrossing and mind stretching journey to the heart of one of the most enduring and profound mysteries in mathematics - the Riemann Hypothesis:
All non-trivial zeros of the zeta function have real part one-half.
By the time you finish the book, that enigmatic statement along with the math behind it will make sense,you will have a deep understanding of the significance of TRH (namely how it is connected to the distribution of prime numbers) and you will have a feel for the ric ...more

A very good explanation of everything related to the Riemann Hypothesis for somebody not exposed to the rigorous maths of advanced level but enough to understand basic Calculus. The best thing about this book is that anybody with high school maths can just dive right in and follow the mathematics without much trouble.
The history presented along with the Math at some places is unnecessary but fun none the less.
