==Riemannian geometry==

Riemann created a new type of geometry that became useful in the next century, and his [[Riemann hypothesis]] remains the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics today.  It concerns the distribution of prime numbers and was first proposed in Riemann's class paper ''On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude'' (1859).<ref>http://www.andrews.edu/~calkins/math/biograph/199899/bioriema.htm</ref>

Riemann created a new type of geometry, which was elliptical.  Riemannian geometry then became the basis for advances in [[physics]] in the 20th century.
