THE MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS RELATED TO THE RIEMANN HYPOTHESIS
A twenty-three centuries-long journey in search of the secret of prime numbers
In 1859 the great German mathematician, Bernhard Riemann, presented to the Academy of Sciences in Berlin a paper titled “Über die Anzahl der Primzahlen under einer gegebenen Grösse” (On the Number of Prime Numbers Below A Given Quantity).
This work was originally written in a manuscript of only six pages and yet it unfolds fascinating depth and originality.
It has led to one of the most captivating mathematical problems in history:
The Riemann Hypothesis
The book exposes the mathematical concepts related to the Riemann hypothesis and its historical context
This book will take us, along a wonderful historical journey, to understand Riemann’s works, to formulate his hypothesis and to know its implications.
It works in two independent volumes:
+ Vol1: With the mathematical history from Euclid to Riemann See Chapters
+ Vol2: With the mathematical history from Riemann to 2020 See Chapters
About the book
The book exposes the mathematical concepts related to the Riemann hypothesis and its historical context, accompanying the reader on a wonderful journey of twenty-three centuries in search of the secret of the prime numbers.
Riemann’s manuscript, with only six pages of fascinating depth and originality, gave rise to one of the most compelling mathematical problems in history: the Riemann Hypothesis.
In it he made a conjecture that generated the greatest mathematical movement in search of his proof. Riemann’s work connected in an elegant and brilliant way the theory of prime numbers with mathematical analysis, opening multiple avenues for subsequent researchers, which have led to surprising results.

The Author
José Luis Pérez, electronic engineer, has been CEO and founder of several companies, and is currently the founder and CEO of Lampsy Personal Mobility.
He is fond of the history of mathematics, especially Number Theory.
Between 2011 and 2016 he took a few years off and, among other hobbies, wrote this work, for which he documented himself in a very deep way, complementing it with several trips to universities and academic centers in Europe and the USA that treasure the best information about the Riemann hypothesis, interviewing the mathematicians who best know it.
