Sam Bledsoe’s Reviews > Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics > Status Update

Yes, there is calculus in this book. It alternates chapters, between fun stories and analysis. I don't know if I can explain integration or other stuff, but when I read through the other book, I'll find out.

A big explanation of the density of primes. I really like the way he explains it using tables and formulas. We find the number of primes below a given point, like how many primes below 500? Next, we map the number and find a function to describe it. Finally, test the function to see if it's right. First few chapters are very impressive so far.

How many primes are below a given quantity? By chapter three, we are already discussing the problem and some of the examples to demonstrate it.

Currently a simple introduction to adding fractions towards infinity. There is actual math in this popular math book! Shock and Surprise! The math isn't complex, but it tries to explain concepts so far rather than give unnecessary details about a persons early life.
