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
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
This is wonderful content hope that you continue to make videos such as this, you are doing wonderful work. Although I would love to see some citations in future videos so I can dig in a bit further.
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. :)
I was nearly born in Hemer, Germany a long time ago. I have written some General Relativity papers. After all this time, I found out that Gottingen is only about a two hour drive from Hemer!
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..."
I actually absolutely enjoyed the music! Perhaps i'm biased as a fan of Rachmaninoff's music, but it felt just in place. Not too invasive, yet not hidden nor shy.
The pronunciation of French and German names is baffling and distracting here. All these pronunciations are given on Wikipedia and can be learned in a matter of minutes.
…it would be frightening if you had found someone to aid you in pronouncing the German names & places correctly, as I was climbing the walls, backwards; 😖
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.
Gauss, Riemann, Dedekind, Hilbert, ... giants in mathematics. Goes to show what you can accomplish if you put your mind to it, and not waste time watching tv.

Today I learned it took almost two centuries of active usage for someone to get around to rigorously defining the integral
maths are beautiful and difficult. beauty is inaccessible for free
That moment when your PhD advisor is Gauss.
I am very grateful that you have put these biographies together. I love mathematicians of that era...
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.
such a good video, my favorite mathematician probably too all his work was amazing
Favorite mathematician? Why would you pick favorites in such a noble field? This isn’t sports
@@pursuitofknowledge6119 sorry for breathing
I was joking
@@pursuitofknowledge6119 ok
@@elrisitas8508 it’s all good, mine is either Leibniz or Ramanujan
Thank you for making these videos!!
Great stuff ma man keep it up!

A great short biography! Very informative! thank you very much!

Great stuff. I hope your channel grows
Amazing.Thank you very much and keep on doing videos about other great mathematicians.
What a great service thank you
i loved background music
Thanks for making these videos about these geniuses.
I was nearly born in Hemer, Germany a long time ago. I have written some General Relativity papers. After all this time, I found out that Gottingen is only about a two hour drive from Hemer!
My favorite mathematician by far!
What about Guass?
Thanks for the presentation on my cousin Bernie.
Well hello nice seeing some family here😂
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..."
I have no clue about maths but this is like a Darth/Jedi channel. Thank you.
You might also have mentioned the Riemann mapping theorem.
"Riemann" has the stress on the first syllable.
Lol, one down, all the other names to go.
These biographies are great. People I know wonder if I'm a moron. These videos remove all uncertainty.
Riemann was great, which I didn't about until this video. He should be remembered well.
This is excellent. I am subscribed. IMO, the music is very distracting. Would you want a music vid with background maths? ;)
I actually absolutely enjoyed the music! Perhaps i'm biased as a fan of Rachmaninoff's music, but it felt just in place. Not too invasive, yet not hidden nor shy.
I thought I’m watching some famous math channel that I didn’t know about, your videos are underrated!
He died 39 years old.
i'm subbing for more docs on STEM intellectuals, especially of the greats that aren't exactly house hold names (Like Riemann)
Hilarious the way you pronounce Legendre at 2:59, and it is probably the correct way too
😂😂
Riemann does something (Gauss approved)
Guass and Riemann my two favorite matematicians
Superb video ! Thank you !
Those pronunciations are off, but good content
His glasses are crooked
Dee- reesh- lay ( Dirichlet)
He is one of my fav.
Very cool video! Thanks!!
Great stuff! Its a shame more people are watching stupid shit than learning about great mathematicians!
Thanks, Vishu! Hopefully as I keep making videos, we'll get more people learning :)
I was about to comment the same before I saw yours 😁
thank you very much dude
Well done.
Nice video !
Very good
Riemann hypothesis : millennium prize problem
And?
Do one on Galois and Andre Weil
Maths is my Favourite subject
bravo
Make about Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet :)
Very good video! Subscribing, keep it up please.
The pre relativity.
What is the name of the background music?
The piece is Sergei Rachmaninoff - Symphony No. 2. Mvt. 3
@@moderndaymath it goes well with the documentary
What’s the song? I like it…
Rachmaninov - Symphony No. 2, Mvt. 3
There is nobody singing.
Nice video but mate if you are going to make videos about historical figures you might want to first check how to pronounce their names...
I've been working on it xD
@@moderndaymath I find your pronunciation of "Legendre" kinda funny as a frenchman haha. Nice video.
@@darthmath1071 It was so unexpected it almost made me spill my drink from laughing.

Pardon? Dude, my last name is Hooker and I took a double take

Has Riemann also discovered the fourth dimension space theory ...?
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.
Perhaps in 19 th century Post graduation of two years was not there that's why many completed PhD at a very young age .
Thanks for such a wonderful description.
Thank you
Such a great man, looking forward to more of your videos.
The way you pronounce Legendre at 3:05 ist crazy 💀

fantastic, thankyou
