The text concentrates in particular on Riemann?s only work on prime numbers, including ideas ? new at the time ? such as analytical continuation into the complex plane and the product formula for entire functions. A detailed analysis of the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function is presented. The impact of Riemann?s ideas on regularizing infinite values in field theory is also emphasized. This revised and enhanced new edition contains three new chapters, two on the application of Riemann?s zeta-function regularization to obtain the partition function of a Bose (Fermi) oscillator and one on the zeta-function regularization in quantum electrodynamics. Appendix A2 has been re-written to make the calculations more transparent. A summary of Euler-Riemann formulae completes the book. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in history of science and technology. 606 $aNumber theory 615 0$aNumber theory. 676 $a512.7 700 $aDittrich$b Walter$046017 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466409103316 996 $aReassessing Riemann's Paper$91563734 997 $aUNISA
