The document outlines key historical mathematicians including Euclid, Archimedes, Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, and an unnamed Indian mathematician, highlighting their contributions to geometry, calculus, number theory, and mathematical analysis. Euclid is known as the 'father of geometry' for his influential work 'Elements', while Archimedes made significant advancements in calculus and geometry. The Indian mathematician, born in 1886, is noted for his contributions in mathematical analysis and infinite series, showcasing exceptional talent in a predominantly isolated research environment.
The greatest mathematicians of all times
- 1. -Nikhat -Mehajabin 10th- A INDIA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, SHARJAH.
- 5. Euclid or also known as Euclid Of Alexandria. Born in 300 BC. “Father of Geometry”. Geometry Deduced principles on Euclidean Geometry. Perspective ,conic sections ,spherical geometry ,number theory and rigor. Elements- most influential work in the history of mathematics.
- 6. Archimedes or Archimedes Of Syracuse. Born in 287 BC. Greatest mathematician of Antiquity. Calculus ,analysis ,areas of circles ,surface areas and volumes ,area under parabola and geometrical theorems. Value of pi ,infinitesimals.
- 7. Born on 25 December 1642. Famously known as “NATURAL PHILOSOPHER” power series ,binomial theorem ,cubic plane curves and Newton’s method for approximating the roots of functions.
- 8. Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss. Born on 30 April 1770. German. Number theory ,algebra ,statistics ,analysis and differential geometry. Greatest mathematician since antiquity. Ranked - History’s most influential mathematics.
- 9. Indian Mathematician Born on 22 December 1886. Made extraordinary contributions in mathematical analysis ,number theory ,infinite series and continued fractions. Mathematical research in isolation. Skills became apparent in a wider mathematical community. Said to be “Natural Genius”. Famous for ramanujan prime and ramanujan theta function.
