Abstract

Although the zeta function was first defined and used by Euler, it is to Bernhard Riemann, in an article written in 1859, that we owe our view of the zeta function as a meromorphic function in the plane with a functional equation. Riemann is a very remarkable figure in the history of mathematics. The present article describes his career including the major mathematical highlights, and gives some discussion of his published and unpublished work on the zeta function.
