| Feb 4, 2012 at 5:27 | comment | added | KConrad | Well, Riemann used the letter $s$, but it's wrong that he used $\sigma$. | |
| Feb 4, 2012 at 5:26 | comment | added | KConrad | This is wrong: look at the paper and you'll see he never mentions a variable for the real part of s. In fact the only time he does use a real part, it's 1/2. | |
