Welcome!

This is a blog that will accompany our journey from the simple prime numbers to the foothills of the Riemann Hypothesis, one of the most important and still open challenges in mathematics.

The aim is to make the subjects we encounter along the way as accessible as possible. That means we wont' assume you are a university trained mathematician, but we will assume you studied maths at secondary school - so are familiar with concepts like convergence of series, calculus, and complex numbers.

Along the way we will encounter historic proofs such as the infinitude of the primes, techniques such as comparing discrete sums with continuous functions, important ideas such as the Prime Number Theorem, and we'll be using blogs, videos and code to explore and explain those ideas.
