  Riemann, Georg Friedrich Bernhard - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Riemann, Georg Friedrich Bernhard
Georg Riemann showed that in spherical geometry (a form of non-Euclidean geometry), although a parallelogram may have two opposite angles of 90°, it does not necessarily follow that the other two angles are also 90°.
Riemann took into account the possible interaction between space and the bodies placed in it; until then, space had been treated as an entity in itself, and this new point of view was to become a central concept of 20th-century physics.
Riemann's paper on the fundamental postulates of Euclidean geometry, written in the early 1850s but not published until 1867, was to open up the whole field of non-Euclidean geometry and become a classic in the history of mathematics.

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.

Riemann moved from Göttingen to Berlin University in the spring of 1847 to study under Steiner, Jacobi, Dirichlet and Eisenstein.
In 1859 Dirichlet died and Riemann was appointed to the chair of mathematics at Göttingen on 30 July.
Riemann considered a very different question to the one Euler had considered, for he looked at the zeta function as a complex function rather than a real one.

His father, Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, came from Mecklenburg, had served in the war of freedom, and had finally settled as pastor in Quickborn.
He showed at an early age wellmarked mathematical powers, and his progress was so rapid in arithmetic and geometry that he was soon beyond the guidance not only of his father but of schoolmaster Schulz, who assisted in the mathematical department of his training.
In 1846 Riemann entered himself as a student of philology and theology in the university of Gottingen.

Bernhard Georg Friedrich Riemann, born on the 17th of September 1826 in Breselenz, the Quickborn/Dannenberg's vicar Riemann's son, Lutheran of denomination, visited the Hannover Lyzeum for two years, since Easter 1842 the Gymnasium Johanneum, the first class since Easter 1844.
Bernhard Riemann did now go to Göttingen to read theoology for one semester, as his father wanted him to, but was then able to -probably by referring to the comment in his report- give his undivided attention to mathematics.

 Riemann, (Georg Friedrich) Bernhard (1826-1866)
A German mathematician who was the first person to provide a thorough treatment of non-Euclidean geometry and to see how it might be applied in physics; he thus helped pave the way for the general theory of relativity.
Among several profound aspects of mathematics now named after him are the Riemann hypothesis and the related Riemann zeta function.
But even as a child Riemann had shown an tremendous aptitude for mathematics and, in 1847, he persuaded his father to let him go to Berlin to learn mathematics from the likes of Karl Jacobi, Peter Dirichlet, and Jakob Steiner.
