Georg Friedrich '''Bernhard Riemann''' (1826-1866) was one of the most influential mathematicians in [[history]].  "It may ... be truly said of Riemann that he touched nothing that he did not in some measure revolutionize" and that he was "[o]ne of the most original mathematicians of modern times."<ref>E.T. Bell, "Men of Mathematics," 484 (1937).</ref>

Georg Friedrich '''Bernhard Riemann''' (1826-1866) was perhaps the greatest mathematician in [[history]].  "It may ... be truly said of Riemann that he touched nothing that he did not in some measure revolutionize" and that he was "[o]ne of the most original mathematicians of modern times."<ref>E.T. Bell, "Men of Mathematics," 484 (1937).</ref> A dozen diverse mathematical issues or structures are named after Riemann.  Yet his [[Christianity]] was most important to him of all:<ref>https://godandmath.com/2012/04/24/christian-mathematicians-riemann/</ref>

Riemann was born in [[Germany]], a devoutly [[Christian]] son of a [[Lutheran]] pastor.  He was schooled at home by his father, and was sent to attend a prominent school (Johanneum at Luneburg) at the age of 16.  Riemann quickly became bored with the math class and asked the director for more advanced material.  The director gave him most advanced math books (including [[Leonhard Euler]]'s works and Adrien Marie Legendre's Theory of Numbers).  Riemann mastered them in only a few days.<ref>http://www.andrews.edu/~calkins/math/biograph/199899/bioriema.htm</ref>
