Bernard Riemann (1826-1866) is regarded as one of the most important philosophers of mathematics of all time, as well as a man who created a vast field of mathematics known as Riemannian Geometry. This book is the first attempt to examine his scientific work from a single unifying perspective. Laugwitz has described in deep and compelling terms the work of Riemann and its impact on the thoughts of the giants of mathematics as well as the entire community of mathematics and physics.
