Bernhard Riemann
Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann was a German mathematician who made con-
tributions to analysis, number theory and differential geometry. In the field of real
analysis, he is mostly known for the first rigorous formulation of the integral, the
Riemann integral, and his work on Fourier series. His contributions to complex
analysis include most notably the introduction of Riemann surfaces, breaking new
ground in a natural, geometric treatment of complex analysis.

Biography
Riemann was born on 17 September 1826 in Breselenz, a village near Dannenberg
in the Kingdom of Hanover. His father, Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, was a poor
Lutheran pastor in Breselenz who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. His mother,
Charlotte Ebell, died before her children had reached adulthood. Riemann was
the second of six children, shy and suffering from numerous nervous breakdowns.
Riemann exhibited exceptional mathematical skills, such as calculation abilities,
from an early age but suffered from timidity and a fear of speaking in public. Georg Friedrich

Solution

As we know f is continuous on the interval if for some x ∈ [0; 1] if we take xn such

that xi ∈ [0; 1]
xi → x ⇒ f (xi) → f (x) since x ∈ R \ Q, f (x) = 0.
Let’s take some irrational x ∈ [0; 1] or x = 0. In xn for every xi → x, f (xi) = 0
so 0 → 0
If we take non-zero rational xi = pqii , qi must convergent to infinity. Let’s assume
pi
qi → b , since xi ∈ [0; 1], pi < qi so pi → a and qi → ab . This is rational , so we have
contradiction, therefore qi → ∞, f (xi) = q1i → 0 So this function on the interval
[0; 1] is continuous on irrationals and 0. Now we will show that it’s discontinuous on One of the best
rational points. If we take some rational x then | x−x0 |< δ ⇒| f (x)−f (x0) < .
Since irrationals are dense we can find x0 ∈ R \ Q in delta neighbourhood at x.

Now choose  = 0.5 q we get | 1
q − 0 |< 0.5
q this is contradiction so function is
discontinuous on rational points. His famous 1859 paper on the prime-
counting function is regarded as one of
the most influential papers in analytic
number theory. He is considered by
many to be one of the greatest math-
ematicians of all time.
