The main sources are letters which were exchanged among the protagonists during that time, found in various archives, mostly the University Library in Göttingen. The aim is to show how the ideas formed, and how the proper notions and proofs were found, providing a particularly well-documented illustration of how mathematics develops in general. The book is written for mathematicians, but it does not require any special knowledge of particular mathematical fields.History of Mathematics Subseries,2193-1771 ;2222MathematicsHistoryNumber theoryHistory of Mathematical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009Number Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M25001Mathematics.History.Number theory.History of Mathematical Sciences.Number Theory.512.73Roquette Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut58278MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300138803321Riemann hypothesis in characteristic p in historical perspective1749892UNINA
