'''Godfrey Harold''' ('''G.H.''') '''Hardy''' (1877–1947) was a [[United Kingdom|British ]] [[mathematics|mathematician ]] who felt that the approach of the [[elementary proof]] lacked the depth needed to solve the [[Prime Number Theorem]], which had only been proven using non-elementary [[complex analysis]]. He was shown to be wrong when [[Paul ErdosErdosPaul Erdős]] devised an elementary proof. Hardy was a pure mathematician and was not interested in giving mathematics practical applications. He wrote an essay about his field called ''A Mathematician's Apology''. Hardy was an [[atheism|atheist ]] and was left-wing in his political views. {{DEFAULTSORT: Hardy, G.H.}}
