Prime obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics

Part I. The prime number theorem. Card trick

The soil, the crop

The prime number theorem

On the shoulders of giants

Riemann's zeta function

The great fusion

The golden key, and an improved prime number theorem

Not altogether unworthy

Domain stretching

A proof and a turning point. Part II. The Riemann hypothesis. Nine Zulu queens ruled China

Hilbert's eighth problem

The argument ant and the value ant

In the grip of an obsession

Big oh and Mobius Mu

Climbing the critical line

A little algebra

Number theory meets quantum mechanics

Turning the golden key

The Riemann operator and other approaches

The error term

Either it's true, or else it isn't.
