Preaching Primes, the story of a short life devoted to the god of mathematics

If  one  goes to the library and chooses randomly a graduate book in Mathematics, it is very unlikely that it does not contain one of the following words: Riemann hypothesis, Riemann zeta function, Riemann integral, Riemann sum, Riemann surface, Riemann-Roch theorem, Riemann theta function, Riemann sphere, Cauchy-Riemann equations, ...     In this talk, we explore the forty-years of personal and mathematical life of this religious mathematician and see how he founded or touched these many areas in mathematics.

At the end of the talk, hopefully you will be convinced that  we should devote at least one talk per month to this great mathematician in our Department!
