His talent was discovered when he tried to mathematically prove the Book of Genesis. As a student, he first suggested that the area around electrical charges could be described mathematically and his doctoral thesis for Gauss paved the way for a surface on which multi-valued functions of complex variables can be described as single-valued. His second-greatest legacy involved the sum of one and an infinite series of numbers to the power of x. To this day, no one is sure what values of x will equal 0, but this scientist guessed complex numbers with real parts equal to ½ fit the bill. For ten points, name this German known for geometry where parallel lines never cross and for his zeta function.
