Un petit chef d'oeuvre alternant vulgarisation et histoire des mathématique dans un équilibre parfait. Les explications techniques sont claires infusées de manière progressive. La partie historique conte l'élaboration de l'hypothèse de Riemmann puis les tentatives pour la résoudre, le tout agrémenté par des morceaux de biographies des hommes ayant participé à cette quète. Et au centre, la fonction zêta que l'auteur nous décrit avec passion.
