Primes, polygons and the roots of unity

In this Article the author hopes to present an unusual view of the Riemann zeta landscape when Re (s) > 0, to show how the prime numbers are discoverable by the altered configuration, and to show a correlation amongst the primes, the regular polygons and a set of complex numbers with real part.

Abstract

In this Article the author hopes to present an unusual view of the Riemann zeta landscape when Re (s) > 0, to show how the prime numbers are discoverable by the altered configuration, and to show a correlation amongst the primes, the regular polygons and a set of complex numbers with real part.
