Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann
1826 - 1866

"The period we reach now is without any doubt the most important of all in the history of algebraic geometry to this day. It is entirely stamped by the work of one man, Bernhard Riemann, one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived, and also one of those who have had, most profoundly, the perception (or divination) of the essential unity of mathematics."

Jean Dieudonné, History of Algebraic Geometry, 1974.

"When I was a student, abelian functions were, as an effect of the Jacobian tradition, considered the uncontested summit of mathematics, and each of us was ambitious to make progress in this field. And now? The younger generation hardly knows abelian functions. "

Felix Klein, Development of Mathematics in the 19th Century, 1928.
