Jacques Hadamard, [The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field][1]. Description (from the Library Journal): > Thoughtful and articulate study of the origin of ideas. Role of the > unconscious in invention; the medium of ideas — do they come to mind > in words? in pictures? in mathematical terms? Much more. "It is > essential for the mathematician, and the layman will find it good > reading." There is something interesting in page 118 on the Riemann Hypothesis: > At the death of Riemann, a note was found among his papers, saying > 'These properties of $\zeta(s)$ (the function in question) are deduced from > an expression of it which, however, I did not succeed in simplifying > enough to publish it." We still have not the slightest idea of what > the expression could be.
