This book concentrates in particular on Riemann's only work on prime numbers, including such then new ideas as analytical continuation in the complex plane and the product formula for entire functions. A detailed analysis of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function is presented. The impact of Riemann's ideas on regularizing infinite values in field theory is also emphasized.

Preface.- Introduction.- Short Biography of Bernhard Riemann (1826 - 1866).- Towards Euler's Product Formula and Riemann's Extension of the Zeta Function.- Prime Power Number Counting Function.- Riemann as an Expert in Fourier Transforms.- On the Way to Riemann's Entire Function (s).- The Product Representation of (s) and (s) by Riemann (1859).- Derivation of Von Mangoldt's Formula for (x).- The Number of Roots in the Critical Strip.- Riemann's Zeta Function Regularization.- Supplements.- Appendix.

Prof. Dr. Walter Dittrich was head of the quantum electrodynamics group at the University of Tubingen before his retirement in 2001 and is still actively publishing papers and books in classical and quantum physics. He received his doctorate under Prof. Heinz Mitter at Heisenberg's institute in Munich and continued pre- and postdoc work at Brown University, Harvard and MIT. He profited immensely from lectures by and discussions with Profs. Herb Fried, Ken Johnson, Steve Weinberg, Julian Schwinger and, later on, at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, Steve Adler and David Gross at Princeton University. He started his work on gauge theories and QED in collaboration with Schwinger in the late 1960s. He was visiting professor at UCLA, Berkeley, Stanford and the IAS. He has over 30 years of teaching experience and is one of the key scientists in developing the theoretical framework of quantum electrodynamics.
