Currently Playing: Zeta Explained #67: Historical Verification of the Riemann Hypothesis (1859–1936)

This is the 67th video in a series explaining the Riemann zeta function. The idea of the series is to start with basics and eventually work our way to advanced topics. We follow the text "Riemann's Zeta Function" by H.M. Edwards. This particular video covers parts of chapters 6 and 7 from "Riemann's Zeta Function" by H.M. Edwards. We examine how early mathematicians before computers were able to prove that the Riemann hypothesis is true up to some imaginary height T. 00:00 - Intro and History 05:46 - Riemann's method (speculation) 13:43 - Gram's method 24:46 - Backlund's method 33:52 - Hutchinson's and Titchmarsh's methods.
