Riemann had always displayed an interest in mathematics, especially when he studied at Lüneburg at the age of fourteen. His teacher gave him a textbook on a number theory by Legendre
those who are for always remembered throughout history for their accomplishments throughout their mortal life.

The author Bernhard Schlink is able to elicit this response from the reader because the scene is so aberrant and unexpected. “I had woken up early, dressed quietly, and crept out of the room. I wanted to bring up breakfast and also see
Fortunately, in the real world, heroes come in all shapes and sizes. We have heroes in everyday life, whether they do the simplest thing or the most magnificent thing. In the essay “The power of context” by Malcolm Gladwell, he presents the story of Bernhard Goetz, a man who was tormented by the fear of crimes in New York City where he lived. Goetz eventually snapped and shot four delinquents on a train. At that time Goetz was considered a hero for eliminating some of the neighborhood’s problems. But
Reaction to The Reader In part II, chapter eight of Bernhard Schlink's The Reader, the first-person narrator Michael describes reading the account written by a concentration camp who had survived along with her mother, the soul survivors in a large group of women who were being marched away from the camp.

In the case of NY v Bernhard Goetz, on December 22, 1984, a Saturday afternoon, Troy Canty, Darryl Cabey, Barry Allen, and James Ramseur boarded an IRT express subway train in the Bronx heading south toward lower Manhattan. The four young men rode together in the back section of seventh car of the train. The defendant Bernhard Goetz boarded the same subway train at 14th street in Manhattan and sat on a bench near the back section of the same car of the train as the four youths. Goetz carried an
The Bernhard Goetz Trial 1987 Throughout history there has been considerable tension between race and crimes committed. The court trial of Bernhard Goetz initiated debate on race and crime in the major cities, and the limitations of self-defense. Bernhard Goetz in 1984 shot five bullets in a New York City subway, seriously wounding four young black men. After turning himself into the police nine days later, the public now knew who was the shooter. Bernhard Goetz was entitled the “Subway Vigilante”
“When we see a natural style, we are astonished and delighted; for we expected to see an author, and we find a man.” (Blaise Pascal). Writing style is the way a text is written to portray the author’s message to the audience. The Reader portrays the struggle of post Third Reich generations coming to terms with Nazi war crimes, by effectively using a unique writing style. Bernard Schlink uses first-person point-of-view, clear and descriptive language, short chapters, metaphors and various tones.
he was then presented with the Riemann hypothesis to work on. The Riemann Hypothesis was first brought about by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. The Riemann Hypothesis is defined as a conjecture that the non- trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function all have the real part of half (½). It is also used for curves over finite fields. (Wolfram Mathworld) Many famous mathematicians have attempted to solve this. Littlewood was never one to regret having tackled the Riemann. He even stated “if one attempted
Geometry, which etymologically means the measurement of the earth in Greek, is a mathematical concept that deals with points, lines, shapes, and space. It has been developed from pre-historic era with ancient Greeks and Egyptians, and is still used in the area of art, architecture, engineering, geology, and astronomy. In ancient societies, while the ancient mathematicians or philosophers such as Plato, Pythagoras, Thales, and Aristotle expanded the different areas of math, philosophy, and science
Carl Friedrich Gauss was a child prodigy that later became a well-known scientist and mathematician. He was so influential that he was known as “the Prince of Mathematicians”. In his life time he wrote and published more than 150 papers. Gauss made many important discoveries and contributions to algebra, geometry, the number theorem, curvature, and many more things. He was a well-educated physicist and astronomer. His lifetime was full of knowledge and study, but without that we would not be
