Hey all,

 

I read this article on the Riemann hypothesis:

http://plus.maths.org/content/music-primes

It's the first article I've read so far that actually showed me the implications the Riemann hypothesis has on prime's. Unfortunately, after reading the article I googled "Riemann harmonics" and didn't find anything. I'm not that surprised that they made the name up and I would like to read more about them; what are they called?

 

Thanks.

Great article - though fraid I cannot help you. MduS's books are very popular though and you might be able to pick up a copy of the book he mentioned super cheap on Amazon. Suddenly humbled by the fact that Riemann did all that and so much more, yet died at 39!

They are at times called Riemann harmonics, but you could try searching something like Fourier analysis and Riemann hypothesis.

 

Here are two sites that discuss what you are interested in:
