    It's crazy seeing that PAINTED portrait of Gauss next to the PHOTO of Riemann, and to hear that his advisor was Gauss. He's like a bridge from the medieval world to the modern. Riemann's non-Euclidian geometry seems like something from a more ancient, simpler, fundamental time, despite the fact that it's used in relativity and QM. Despite its validity, we all still think and feel very Euclidianly. I like to think that as industrialization, determinism, machination, etc was sweeping across the world, people like Riemann maybe kept touch with more medieval or ancient intuitions about the fluidity and wholeness of reality.

      I had no idea they lived in the same time period, much less him being his doctorate advisor, it really puts into perspective how some things in the past are really not as far back as they seem

    Today I learned it took almost two centuries of active usage for someone to get around to rigorously defining the integral

    Thank you for this video. If Riemann had lived, he would probably have discovered general relativity and eclipsed Einstein. Like Mozart, all I can say is what a damn shame he died so young.

    Berlin eine stadt eine gesellschaft, translating a city of knowledge, he was the first to talk about curved space and he said that we might are living in curved space and einstein added space time without gauss and Riemann we would have had lost 200 years of knowledge.
    Thanks Riemann.
    By these geniuses we should remember the germans not wars

      The great majority was compiled together from the following:
      www.famousscientists.org/bernhard-riemann/
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Riemann
      mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Riemann.html
      I'll make more comprehensive citations for my future videos, as often time, they don venture out from just three links. :)

    An excellent biography. It's just a pity that the foreign names are pronounced in English, which makes it hard to recognize them. In 9:52 it should be "in 1859, when Dirichlet died..."

      He didn't discover it, per se, but he did give it a firm footing (n-dimensions, in particular). Lagrange appears to be the first to write about it, though, which was late-1700s.
