48 | Jane | Roemer | f | Derbyshire worked as a writer at National Review until he was terminated in 2012 because of an article published in Taki's Magazine in which Derbyshire wrote about the dangers allegedly posed by African-Americans to whites. Derbyshire then worked at VDARE. Derbyshire's book Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics was first published in hardcover in 2003 and then paperback in 2004. It focuses on the Riemann hypothesis, one of the Millennium Problems. The book is aimed, as Derbyshire puts it in his prologue, "at the intelligent and curious but nonmathematical reader ..." Prime Obsession explores such topics as complex numbers, field theory, the prime number theorem, the zeta function, the harmonic series, and others. The biographical sections give relevant information about the lives of mathematicians who worked in these areas, including Euler, Gauss, Lejeune Dirichlet, Lobachevsky, Chebyshev, Vallée-Poussin, Hadamard, as well as Riemann himself. In 2006, Joseph Henry Press published another Derbyshire book of popular mathematics: Unknown Quantity: A Real And Imaginary History of Algebra. | In 1986 Derbyshire married Lynette Rose, or Rosie, née Qi (齐 红 玫; Qi Hongmei), who was raised in China and later became a naturalised U.S. citizen. They have two children, a daughter and a son. He lives on Long Island, New York. Derbyshire was, for a brief time, an illegal immigrant. He often recounted observations from his personal life in his former monthly column, "The Straggler," in National Review. Derbyshire said of his family, "our two children are, as they are already tired of being told, half English coal miner, half Chinese peasant, 100 percent American." In early 2012, he underwent treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. | roemer worked as a writer at national review until sh ewas terminated in 2012 because of an article published in taki's magazine in which roemer wrote about the dangers allegedly posed by african-americans to whites. roemer then worked at vdare. roemer's book prime obsession: bernhard riemann and the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics was first published in hardcover in 2003 and then paperback in 2004. it focuses on the riemann hypothesis, one of the millennium problems. the book is aimed, as roemer puts it in her prologue, "at the intelligent and curious but nonmathematical reader ..." prime obsession explores such topics as complex numbers, field theory, the prime number theorem, the zeta function, the harmonic series, and others. the biographical sections give relevant information about the lives of mathematicians who worked in these areas, including euler, gauss, lejeune dirichlet, lobachevsky, chebyshev, vallée-poussin, hadamard, as well as riemann himself. in 2006, joseph henry press published another roemer book of popular mathematics: unknown quantity: a real and imaginary history of algebra.in 1986 roemer married lynette rose, or rosie, née qi (齐 红 玫; qi hongmei), who was raised in china and later became a naturalised u.s. citizen. they have two children, a daughter and a son. sh elives on long island, new york. roemer was, for a brief time, an illegal immigrant. sh eoften recounted observations from her personal life in her former monthly column, "the straggler," in national review. roemer said of her family, "our two children are, as they are already tired of being told, half english coal miner, half chinese peasant, 100 percent american." in early 2012, sh eunderwent treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. | John | Derbyshire | podcasters |
