About Lowell Schoenfeld

  • Lowell Schoenfeld (April 1, 1920 – February 6, 2002) was an American mathematician known for his work in analytic number theory.
  • He received his Ph.D.
  • in 1944 from University of Pennsylvania under the direction of Hans Rademacher.
  • He is known for obtaining the following results in 1976, assuming the Riemann hypothesis: | p ( x ) - l i ( x ) | = x ln ? x 8 p {\displaystyle |\pi (x)-{\rm {li}}(x)|\leq {\frac {{\sqrt {x}}\,\ln x}{8\pi }}} for all x = 2657, based on the prime-counting function p(x) and the logarithmic integral function li(x), and | ? ( x ) - x | = x ln 2 ? x 8 p {\displaystyle |\psi (x)-x|\leq {\frac {{\sqrt {x}}\,\ln ^{2}x}{8\pi }}} for all x = 73.2, based on the second Chebyshev function ?(x).
