The almost unparalleled depth and impact of the concepts introduced by Riemann.
His investigations in geometry led to Riemannian geometry.
His investigations in trigonometric series gave us the modern definition of function and a first notion of the integral (Riemannian integral).
His 9-page investigation into number theory founded the field of analytic number theory.
Riemann was so ahead of his time that the "approximate functional equation" that he
devised during the time of publication of his paper on number theory, was only rediscovered 40 years later after that Siegel investigated his notes.
He is known for the Riemann Hypothesis, the biggest currently open problem in mathematics.
He is also known for the development of variational methods and the application of the Dirichlet principle.
An mathematician of such a caliber ... is very rare. I think that Riemann is in the same league as Grothendieck.

What is the Riemann hypothesis?
The Riemann Hypothesis was a conjecture(a "guess") made by Bernhard Riemann in his groundbreaking 1859 paper on Number Theory. The conjecture has remained unproven even today. It states the "The real part of the non trivial zeros of the Riemann Zeta function is 1/2"

Why did srinivasa ramanujan become famous?
Srinivasa Ramanujan was a great mathematician. He was interested only in mathematics. He concentrate only on maths hence failed in other subjects. He was later called abroad to meet one of the great mathematicians who was really impressed by him. He continued practicing maths and made many new formulas which we study. Hence, he became a great mathematician, as well as famous.
