About The Book

This unabridged edition of the complete works of Bernhard Riemann presents the legendary mathematician's revolutionary ideas as he originally set them down, offering readers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the foundations of modern mathematics. The collection includes both the 1892 edition of the works, edited by R. Dedekind and H. Weber, and the 1902 supplement, edited by M. Noether and W. Wirtinger.

Spanning 31 monographs, three full lecture courses, and 15 miscellaneous papers, this volume covers a vast array of topics that continue to shape the landscape of mathematics. Among these are Riemann’s groundbreaking papers on Abelian functions, the representation of functions by trigonometric series, non-Euclidean geometry, the study of space, conformal mapping, number theory, topology, and many other fundamental mathematical concepts.

Riemann's work profoundly influenced great minds such as Einstein, Minkowski, Heisenberg, Dirac, and many others. As noted by Dirk Jan Struik in Concise History of Mathematics, Riemann’s contributions, particularly in fields like number theory and geometry, had a far-reaching impact on the development of modern mathematics and physics.

This edition also includes an English-language introduction by Professor Hans Lewy of Stanford University, providing valuable context and insight into Riemann’s life and work. For those interested in the foundations of modern science and mathematics, this collection is an essential reference and a testament to Riemann's enduring legacy.
