But I've always been skeptical of the story that it was widely believed to be true, since any competent mathematician familiar with Riemann's 1857 explicit formula for π(n) would have realized that there are almost certainly going to be occasional exceptions. (Littlewood removed the word "almost" by a more careful analysis.) | |
