A big girl came up to me after a show and said, "I think you're fatist." I said, "No, no. I think you're fattest."

Bernhard RiemannBorn 17 Sep 1826; died 20 Jul 1866 at age 39. Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann was a German mathematician whose work widely influenced geometry and analysis. In addition, his ideas concerning geometry of space had a profound effect on the development of modern theoretical physics and provided the foundation for the concepts and methods used later in relativity theory. He clarified the notion of integral by defining what we now call the Riemann integral. He was an original thinker and a host of methods, theorems and concepts are named after him. Riemann suffered from tuberculosis and he spent his last years in Italy in an attempt to improve his health. |
