I'm writing a paper about Georg Riemann?

Question

I'm writing a paper about the mathematician Georg Riemann. I need a clear thesis statement about his life. Could someone please help me?

Answer 1

Figure out why he published so few papers in his life (low double digits in total), and you'll be off to a good start in understanding him.

As for the thesis statement -- he sought and found deep connections between subjects previously thought to be separate. See the Wikipedia bio of him for a theology example. But it's certainly true of both the Riemann zeta function and his work in mathematical physics.
