Adolf Piltz was a German mathematician who contributed to number theory. He was born on 8 December 1855 and died in 1940. He is best remembered for a formulation made in 1884 that is arguably the first statement of a generalized Riemann hypothesis, a generalization of the Riemann hypothesis, and the article on him cites Harold Davenport's textbook on multiplicative number theory. The sources available for him are brief: the English Wikipedia article gives only his dates, his field and the 1884 formulation, and points to a 2008 German essay on his life by Matthias Steinbach, in a volume about outsiders in university life, and to his entry in the Mathematics Genealogy Project. His career and teaching posts are therefore not described here.
