Some Remarkable mathematicians:

Pari De Farma

 

Pari De Farma (1601-1665) was a magistrate. His extraordinary fast mathematical innovation enabled him to make profound contributions to higher mathematics and analytical geometry. When he said he had a proof of a math problem, he really had a perfect proof. He laid the foundations of probability theory with Blaise Pascal. It took almost three hundred and fifty years to prove his definition of Fermat's Last Theorem and many developments in number theory.

 

 

 

Blaise Pascal

 

  Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) invented the first calculating machine in 1645. Although his name is used, he did not actually invent the Triangular Array of Numbers. But he saw the relationship between triangular arrays and binomial expansions. He drew out the connection between arrays and combinatorial problems.

 

 

 

Isaac Newton

 

  Isaac Newton (1642-1727) is regarded as the greatest scientist-mathematician in the English world. He did not pay attention to studies as a child and was at the bottom of the class. His major contributions are- Universal Law of Gravitation, The Three Laws of Dynamics, Differential & Integral Calculus, The Binomial Theorem, The discovery of the colors of white light.

 

 

 

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

 

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646-1716) was a German genius who was also a scholar of law, philosophy, religion, literature, metaphysics and mathematics. He himself invented calculus (along with Newton) and popularized the use of integral symbols in calculus. He devised a method of finding the value of ” without reference to the circle. He played a leading role in the invention of the mechanical calculator. He also contributed significantly to the development of the binary number system.

 

 

 

Leonard Euler

 

Leonard Euler (1707-1783) was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He is called the grandfather of topology. He invented graph theory, a very practical aspect of topology. He has published numerous research papers on almost all subjects of mathematics. He was responsible for the international use of many basic mathematical notations such as etc. Euler lost an eye around age 30 and was completely blind at age 59, but the blindness did not hinder his scientific career.

 

 

 

Maria Agnesi

 

Maria Agnesi (1718-1799) was a world-renowned Italian mathematician. From an early age word of his wisdom spread and he was called the 'Oracle of the Seven Tongues'. As a teenager he taught himself the mathematics of Discrete, Newton, Leibniz, Euler and other famous mathematicians. He organized many meetings on mathematics and science, and based on this, his book appeared when he was only twenty years old. She contributed a lot to the higher education of girls. She was the first woman to write a book on calculus, and the first woman to be appointed to a university professorship.

 

 

 

Joseph Louis Lagrange

 

Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) made major contributions to differential equations, analysis, number theory, analytical and celestial mechanics. He headed the committee to introduce the metric system in various countries. He was instrumental in proving Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation.

 

 

 

Pierre Simon Laplace

 

Pierre Simon Laplace (1749-1827) was a French mathematician of great stature. He is best known for Mechanique Celeste, written in five volumes between 1799 and 1825, and Theorie analytique des probabilities, published in 1812. Modern probability theory was born from this second book. The Laplace transform is still an important tool for engineers today.

 

 

 

Carl Friedrich Gauss

 

Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) was born with extraordinary talent. He could work with numbers before he could speak. Almost all nineteenth- and twentieth-century mathematics began with the work of Gauss. He gave the correct proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra at the age of 17. He is called Ganita Rajputra (Prince of Mathematics). Newton, Archimedes and Gauss - these three are considered to be the greatest mathematicians in history.

 

 

 

Niels Henrik Abel

 

Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829) was born in Norway. At a very young age, his talent for mathematics emerged. He spent much of his early life solving algebraic equations. He proved that algebraic equations of the fifth degree cannot be solved by algebraic operations alone. He used the group concept and Abelian groups are named after him. Abel lived in poverty and died before repaying the Norwegian bank. There are notes from Norway with his image. Moreover, since 2002, the Abel Prize of about one million dollars has been given in his name.

 

 

 

Augusta Ada Byron

 

Augusta Ada Byron (1815-1852) occupies a powerful position in the history of computer science. He claimed that it was possible to build a machine that could be used to create complex music, create graphics, and do scientific work. He wrote to Babbage explaining how a machine could calculate Bernoulli numbers. It is considered the first computer program. In 1979, in his honor, the US Department of Defense created a computer language called Ada.

 

 

 

George Bull

 

George Bull (1815-1864) began using symbols in logic. Through this he could express and solve complex logical problems in symbolic form depending on the set. The basic operations union and intersection of sets are known as Boolean algebras. Boolean algebras are widely used in sound reasoning today.

 

 

 

George Cantor

 

Georg Cantor (1845-1918) was a famous German mathematician who founded set theory. This set theory is used today as the basis for many modern advanced mathematical works. Cantor's contribution to set theory was not well received by the mathematical community at the time and was criticized, leading to depression. But the Royal Society honored his contribution in 1904 by awarding him the Sylvester Medal, the highest recognition for mathematics.

 

 

 

Godfrey Hardy

 

Godfrey Hardy (1877-1947) was one of Britain's greatest contemporary mathematicians. Among his many contributions to pure mathematics, analysis and number theory are worth remembering. His book on pure mathematics (Pure Mathematics) revolutionized the teaching of mathematics in England. In 1917 he published an important work on number theory with the famous mathematician Ramanujan.

 

 

 

Ramanujan

 

Ramanujan (1887-1920) was a world-renowned Indian mathematician. He made major contributions to number theory. His memory was amazing. He could memorize the properties of the first 10000 integers and each number became his playmate. Once when Hardy called the taxi number 1729 in the taxi that came to visit the sick Ramanujan as a boring number, Ramanujan immediately said that the number was very funny. Because this is the smallest integer that can be expressed twice as the sum of two cubes, i.e. 1729 = 13 + 123 = 93 + 103 1

 

 

 

John von Neumann

 

John von Neumann (1903-1957) worked on game theory. He has made many contributions to computer science and linear programming. He helped create MANIAC (MANIAC Mathematical Analyzer Numerical Integrator and Computer). He also helped design atomic bombs and missiles. Von Neumann architecture is the foundation of modern computers.

 

 

 

Paul Ards

 

Paul Aards (1913–1996) was the most talented Hungarian mathematician of the 20th century. He has co-authored nearly 500 research papers. A few hours before his death he solved a geometry problem. He made important contributions in graph theory, set theory, number theory etc. He authored more than 1500 research papers of which about 400 were published posthumously.

 

 

 

Donald Irvin Knuth

 

Donald Irvin Knuth (1938-) is called the father of modern computer science. He developed mathematical methods for analyzing the performance of algorithms. His books - The Art of Computer Programming, Concrete Mathematics and Scientific writing software Tex are widely used all over the world. He has received many awards including the Turing Award. He was known for his intelligence since childhood.
