Abstract
Bernhard Riemann (1826–1866) was one of the true geniuses of nineteenth century mathematics. He lived only until the age of 39, ultimately defeated by poverty and ill health. He struggled all his life, and finally landed a regular professorship only when he was on his deathbed. But the legacy of profound mathematics that Riemann left continues to have a major influence in the subject.
