Proper name[edit]

He should perhaps be referred to by his more common name of "Georg Riemann."

Google has 11,000 hits for "Bernhard Riemann" -Georg and only 700 for "Georg Riemann". -- Curps 23:20, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Quaternions and vectors[edit]

Perhaps some mention of his work regarding quaternions and vectors should be mentioned 64.161.172.140 02:14, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I am not sure that Riemann ever did any work on quaternions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.203.27 (talk) 08:39, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

How do you say this guy's name? Is it like ree-man or riy-man or what? The article should reflect this.

I think, regardless of the IPA notation, the pronounciation isn't 'REE mahn' but rather 'REE mun' or 'REE munn'. Perhaps the German 'a' between consonants doesn't comply with the English 'u' between consonants from a linguist's point of view, but to the intuitive point of view of a native German speaker, it fits just right. On the other hand, American or English people with the name ending -mann are pronunced 'man', too, so this pronunciation would add to integrity.

Nationality[edit]

Strange to see him described as German, since he was definitely born in the sovereign Kingdom of Hanover. The German nationality only came into existence in 1871, after Riemann's death. Wakari07 (talk) 17:38, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wish that I had known about the foundation in 1871 earlier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C0:7C80:8401:B5CF:DF4:7533:172 (talk) 15:15, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
