Full Description


This expanded second edition of this work combines an account of the life and work of Bernhard Riemann with a lucid discussion of current interaction between topology and physics. The author, a distinguished mathematical physicist, takes into account his own research at the Riemann archives of Goettingen University and developments over the last decade that connect Riemann with numerous significant ideas.
