Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann

Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann was a 19th-century German mathematician whose work revolutionized our understanding of geometry and analysis. He introduced the concept of Riemannian geometry, a way to study curved surfaces and spaces, which became fundamental in Einstein's theory of general relativity. Riemann also made significant contributions to the understanding of complex functions and the distribution of prime numbers through his famous Riemann Hypothesis. His ideas bridged the gap between pure mathematics and physics, shaping modern mathematical thought and deepening our comprehension of the universe's structure.
