 | | Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann (September 17, 1826 - July 20, 1866) (pronounced REE mahn) was a German mathematician who made important contributions to analysis and differential geometry, some of them paving the way for the later development of general relativity. |
 | | His name is connected with the Riemann zeta function, the Riemann hypothesis, the Riemann integral, the Riemann lemma, Riemannian manifolds, the Riemann mapping theorem, Riemann-Hilbert problems, Riemann surfaces, the Riemann-Roch theorem, the Riemann sphere, and the Cauchy-Riemann equations. |
 | | Riemann held his first lectures in 1854, which not only founded the field of Riemannian geometry but set the stage for Einstein's general relativity. |
