Mathematicians

Often, to completely understand the importance of a mathematical theory, it's essential to know about the person who developed it. This category is where all questions about historically significant mathematicians should be asked.

What is Pierre de fermat famous for?

Pierre De Fermat is famous for Fermat's Last Theorem, which states that an+bn=cn will never be true as long as n>2

Who made the best contribution to mathematics?

Judgment call. 'Best' in what way? I like Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) but there are many other candidates.

How did Leonardo die?

he died by old age on on May 2, 1519 at the age of 67

How and why ratios proportion percentage required for jobs in hotel industry?

Many measures of profitability of a hotel are based on ratios, proportions or percentages. For example, the occupancy rate is the ratio of the number of occupied room-nights to the total number of room-nights (or the proportion). Another contributor to the profitability is the percentage mark-up on food and drink which the hotel serves. A measure of a hotel's "success" is the percentage of the customers in its price range which it manages to attract and how that proportion changes with percentage discounts offered on rooms.

How do you get to the 'secret modes' on a sauce light wand?

Go to the mode with the blinking white light. Press and hold the button. The light will blink faster and faster. Eventually the light will become solid. Keep the button held down. It will change to green and red (Christmas). Keep going and you will get to red white and blue (fourth of Jul).

How is Riemann- stieltjes integral a generalization of Riemann integral?

In reimann stieltjes integral if we assume a(x) = x then it becomes reimann integral so we can say R-S integral is generalized form of reimann integral.

What is Jean-Pierre Garnier's contact information?

Address: GlaxoSmithKline plc, 980 Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex TW8 9GS, United Kingdom; http://www.gsk.com

What is relation between laplace transform and fourier transform?

The Laplace transform is related to the Fourier transform, but whereas the Fourier transform expresses a function or signal as a series of modes ofvibration (frequencies), the Laplace transform resolves a function into its moments. Like the Fourier transform, the Laplace transform is used for solving differential and integral equations.

What is the difference between maths and mathematics?

As far as I know, there is no difference. "Math" is just short for "Mathematics".

What is Euclid's early life and education?

Very few original accounts of Euclid survive, so little can be told about his life, much less early life. He was considered the "Father of Geometry," The only historical references to Euclid were written centuries after he lived, by Proclus, a Greek philosopher.

What is rationalisation?

Rationalization is the process of converting the irrational denominator of a given fraction into rational by multiplying and dividing by suitable terms.

For example, consider,

2/3√2

Here the denominator is an irrational number

to rationalize this fraction follow the steps:

  • Find a number which on multiplying with denominator returns a rational number( here √2 * √2 will give 2 which is a rational number ).
  • Multiply numerator and denominator with the number you just found {(2/3√2) becomes (2/3√2)(√2/√2) = 2√2/6)

Now the rationalized result is 2√2/6

How did Charles Babbage children die?

there are rumors that they died of the same sickness that Charles Babbage died of

Can an irrational number be a decimal if so give an example?

Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that can't be expressed as fractions. An example is the square root of 2

What is an origin?

An origin is the beginning for an object or concept. A person can similarly have a country of origin, the locale of his birthplace.

In a coordinate system, an "origin" is a starting point.
I believe that it is where a word comes from or originates.

that is why it is called the "origin"
it means the starting point. you can see the word orgin in the function graph in math too.

Who was the first mathematician in the world?

I think it could be Aristotle. He started empiricism and started classifying and identifying things into sets. Sets are one of the most fundamental concepts in Logic. Math is definitely very rooted to Logic.

But you can also put it down as Aristotle being the very first Scientist, so

Who won an Oscar for playing the wife of John Nash?

Jennifer Connelly won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for playing Alicia Nash in A Beautiful Mind(2001)

How to find the limit F x x 3-4x 2-2x plus 3 x plus 1 When I do the synthetic division my answer is 3 The correct answer is 9 Can any one help me?

The question is unreadable. On this website, some symbols get eliminated in the question; you must type them out; for example, write "equals" instead of an equal sign.
