Talk:Bernhard Riemann

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

Quaternions and vectors
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)

Pronunciation
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
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)
