Herman J.J. te Riele

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a Germanic name; the family name is te Riele, not Riele.

Hermanus Johannes Joseph te Riele (born January 5, 1947) is a mathematician at CWI in Amsterdam with a specialization in algorithms in discrete tomography, factorization of large numbers, cryptography in number fields, and amicable numbers.

In 1970, te Riele received an MS degree in mathematical engineering from Delft University of Technology and a PhD in mathematics and physics from University of Amsterdam (1976). In 1985 he and Andrew Odlyzko disproved the Mertens conjecture. In 1987 he found a new upper bound for π(x) − Li(x) (see Skewes' number).
