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.

Where is Charles Babbage buried?
Charles Babbage is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery in London, England.
Mathematicians who contributed to Algebra?
Most recently, Ngô Báo Châ for his proof of the Fundamental Lemma in the theory of automorphic forms through the introduction of new algebra-geometric methods, for which he won a Fields Medal.
Also, from a historical perspective, and Egyptian named Ahmes produced a manuscript called the 'Rhind Papyrus' which showed the first simple algebraic methods.
There are many lists of mathematicians which can be found using a simple internet search.
What are three medical advances in 1959?
There have been major advance in medicine since 1959. Transplant science, radioisotope diagnostics, and robotic surgical techniques have increased life span over that span of years.
Where can someone find the biography for poet Samuel Baxter?
Any number of books are available searching on Google. See the URL link at the lower left.
What way does a horizontal line go?

Who is called the father of algebra?
Al-Khwarizmi is the father of Algebra. He was born in Bagdad, a city now in Iraq.
Chapstick was invented to help prevent chapped lips. Without chapstick it would be very difficult to maintain keeping you're lips protected and healthy
We generally credit Diophantus of Alexandria as laying the groundwork for algebra in the second or third centuries AD. We can't be certain because records from that time are a challenge to find. Use the link to the related question to read a bit on the history of algebra. You'll find that link below.
MM=regular breast gene while.. mm=mutation so you mother could be Mm and be heterozygous for the gene which means she may not have the defective gene but she is still a carrier which means you and your offspring may have it hope that helps some dont know to much about it but we just did genes and chromosomes in biology class. sorry to hear about the bad news but hopefully if it is genetic your daughter and her offspring will be heterozygous.
Show how Archimedes principle may be derived from concepts of fluid pressure?
Consider an object being immersed through a height h in a fluid. The pressure at the surface is smaller than the pressure at the bottom of the object. This difference in pressure, Dp, is given by:
Dp = hdg
where d is the density of the fluid
and g is the acceleration of free- fall
Now, Dp can be expanded as the ratio of force to area. So:
F/A = hdg
where F is the force exerted on the body
and A is the bottom area of the object
=> F = Ahdg
=> F = Vdg
since Ah = volume V
=> F = mfg
where mf is the mass of fluid in the volume V ( mf = dV from the definition of density)
=> F = Weight of fluid displaced (shown)
The force F is the upthurst on the body.
Who built Pascal's adding machine?
A prodigy in math, Blaise Pascal was a contemporary and rival of http://www.answers.com/topic/ren-descartes. In spite of years of ill health and a short life, Pascal accomplished quite a bit: he published a significant work on the geometry of conical sections when he was only sixteen; he invented a calculating machineby the time he was nineteen; he and Pierre de Fermat founded the modern theory of probability; he described the principle that is the basis for the hydraulic press (called Pascal's Law); and he proved that there was a vacuum above the atmosphere. Pascal had a religious conversion in the 1650s and devoted himself to religion instead of science. He is famous for the philosophical theorem known as Pascal's Wager, and for the remark that history would have been different had http://www.answers.com/topic/cleopatra's nose been differently shaped.
Many new cars have hidden meanings with the lights on the dash. My girlfriend's expects a tune up from a certified dealership every 20,000 miles. When it is time for the tune-up the car blinks the emergency brake light on the dash. Even if I tune the car up myself the light will keep blinking until the car's computer is reset by a dealership.
On a 2001 Mitsubishi your car should have lots more life left in it. Even if it is high mileage. But it may be due for servicing.
maybe 2 or 3 gallons at best.... so it depends on your mpg.
When did Howard Aiken claim that six electronic digital computers would be sufficient?
Never. There is a story that IBM declared something like this in the early 1950s, but there is no evidence for it.
It is approx 0.8312
Who introduced the pi symbol and in what year?
The identity of the person who introduced the symbol is somewhat ambiguous. It was used by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706 (Palmariorum Matheseos), and it is possible that he used pi because it was the first [Greek] letter in periphery.
However, Jones credits John Machin for his equations involving pi, and so it is possible that Machin used pi before Jones. In fact, there may have been others: Willam Oughtred used pi and delta to represent the periphery and diameter in 1647.
But the use of pi did not really catch on until it was adoted by one of the most influential mathematician of all times: Leonhard Euler, in 1736.

What is the numerical factor of a multipication expression?
Multiplicand times multiplier equals product.
If the expression includes a variable, the numerical factor is the coefficient.
The binomial theorem describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial, hence it is referred to as binomial expansion.
Who are the great mathematicians and their contributions in analytic geometry?
Analytical geometry was founded by the French mathematician, Renee Descartes. As for subsequent contributors to that subject, I will leave that for other contributors to add.
