I prefer "Riemann was one of the most influential mathematicians in history" over "Riemann was perhaps the greatest mathematician in history": while Riemann certainly was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, many would argue that Gauss or Euler deserve to be called ''the'' greatest. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 08:25, 4 July 2018 (EDT)
'''''Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) is considered the greatest modern mathematician,''''' That is as meaningful as ''Mozart is considered the greatest classical composer'': it is just a starting point for an endless debate. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 06:15, 23 July 2018 (EDT)
