10. •Carl Friedrich Gauss, the "Prince of
Mathematics," exhibited his calculative
powers when he corrected his father's
arithmetic before the age of three. His
genius was confirmed at the age of
nineteen when he proved that the
regular n-gon was constructible, for
odd n, if and only if n is the product of
distinct prime Fermat numbers.

contribution was
introduction of zero

27. Euler on the 200th
anniversary of his death. In
the middle, it shows his
polyhedral
formula V − E + F = 2.

28. • Euler wrote some 866 Books,
papers and letters of ground
breaking mathematical content
• He is the most prolific
mathematician of all time
• Even though he went blind in his
later years, his mathematical
productivity increased

29. . Joseph-Louis Lagrange, born Giuseppe
Lodovico Lagrangia (25 January 1736 –10
April 1813) was
an Italian mathematician and astronomer, who lived
most of his life in Prussia and France, making
significant contributions to all fields of analysis, to
number theory, and to classical and celestial
mechanics

30. • Lagrangian mechanics
• Between 1772 and 1788, Lagrange re-
formulated Classical/Newtonian mechanics to
simplify formulas and ease calculations. These
mechanics are called Lagrangian mechanics.
• Worked on Celestial Mechanics and the
solution of algebraic equations

31. .
• Pierre-Simon, marquis de
Laplace (23 March 1749 – 5 March
1827) was a
French mathematician and astronomer who
se work was pivotal to the development
of mathematical astronomy and statistics.

32. • Laplace worked on Celestial
Mechanics
• M é ca n I q u e C é l e s t e
• Tried to prove that the solar system
was stable

33. Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss.
(30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855)
“The Prince of Mathematicians

34. •
• Prime numbers of this form are also known as
the Fermat primes
•
• Gauss proved that a regular n-gon could be
geometrically constructed if the number of
sides were a product of distinct Fermat Primes
times a power of two

35. Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (March
21, 1768 – May 16, 1830) was a French
mathematician and physicist best known for I
initiating the investigation of Fourier series
and their application to problems of heat.

37. Augustin Louis Cauchy (21 August
1789 – 23 May 1857; was
a French mathematician.

38. • Cauchy finally provided the Calculus
with a rigorous foundation
• He introduced the epsilon – n and epsilon
– delta definitions of limit.
• From these we can rigorously define
continuous functions and differentiable
functions

39. Évariste Galois October 25, 1811 – May
31, 1832) was a French mathematician
born in Bourg-la-Reine
• .

40. While still in his teens, he was able
to determine a necessary and sufficient
condition for a polynomial to be solvable
by radicals, thereby solving a long-
standing problem.
He died fighting a duel over a
woman at age 21

41. Georg Friedrich Bernhard
Riemann September 17, 1826 – July
20, 1866) was an extremely
influential German mathematician who
made important contributions
to analysis and differential geometry,
some of them paving the way for the later
development of general relativity.

42. •Euler may be the most
influential mathematician
who ever lived he ranks #77
on Michael Hart's famous
list of the Most Influential
Persons in History. His
notations and methods in
many areas are in use to
this day.

43. WHAT IS MATHEMATICS
• Mathematics is a subject that every student has
to study at one time or another. Some love it but
if we’re being honest, most people hate studying
maths. The importance of maths for students has
never been more prominent
• Maths is one of those subjects which you can
easily spend hours studying but end up none the
wiser. However much you have studied, if you can
not solve the problem on day of the test, you are
lost.

44. MATHEMATICIAn
• A mathematician is someone who uses
an extensive knowledge of
mathematics in his or her work, typically
to solve mathematical problems.
• Mathematics is concerned
with numbers,
data, quantity, structure, space ,
models and change.

45. ArCHIMEdES of
SyrACuSE
• Nationality: Greek
• Famous For: Greatest mathematician of
antiquity.
• Archimedes provided principles and methods
used in mathematics today.
• He provided the exact numerical value of pi,
developed a system for large numbers to be
expressed, and the method of exhaustion.

46. THALES
• Nationality: Greek
• Famous For: Father of science & Thales’ theorem.
• Thales used principles of mathematics,
specifically geometry, to solve everyday
problems.
• He is considered as the “first true
mathematician”.
• His deductive reasoning principles are applied in
geometry that is a product of “Thales’ Theorem.”

48. SHAkunTALA dEvI
• Shakuntala Devi (4 November 1929 – 21 April
2013) was an Indian writer andmental
calculator, popularly known as the "human
computer".
• A child prodigy, her talents eventually earned
her a place in the 1982 edition of The
Guinness Book of World Records.

49. ALbErT EInSTEIn
• Albert Einstein 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955)
was a German-born theoretical physcis.
• He is best known for his theory of relativity and
specifically mass–energy equivalence, expressed
by the equation E = mc2.
• Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in
Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics,
and especially for his discovery of the law of
the photoelectric effect.”

50. rEné dESCArTES
• René Descartes (/ de k rt/ˈ ɪˌ ɑ ;[5]
French: [ ne ʁə
deka t]ʁ ; Latinized: Renatus Cartesius; adjectival form:
"Cartesian";[6]
31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650) was
a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist.
Dubbed the father of modern philosophy, much of
subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his
writings,[7][8]
which are studied closely to this day. He
spent about 20 years of his life in the Dutch Republic.
