Say hola to Bernhard Riemann. The man who paved the way for relativity also developed the symbol for congruence!

well the symbol for geometric congruence has been said to be created by Reimann

the symbol for the more common congruency symbol with ~ on top of = may have been used first by the mathematicians G. A. Hill and George B Halstead.
