Title: Prime Number Races
Abstract: We will start with a historical introduction to the Riemann zeta function and its connection with
prime numbers. this work began with Euler, followed later by Riemann. We will then talk about
Chebyshev's assertion that there seem to be more primes of the form 4n+3 than of the form 4n+1. Are there? We will present some surprising facts about such prime number races.
