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 are three movies with mathematicians as the lead characters?
Good Will Hunting and Proof are two. Also stand and deliver
What actors and actresses appeared in 30 panen a Pythagoras - 1977?
The cast of 30 panen a Pythagoras - 1977 includes: Karel Gott as himself Jan Kraus as Student Angelo Michajlov as Pelousek Lubos Ogoun as Gym master Michal Pavlata as Student Josef Somr as Director
Are Euclid's Elements still used today?
Yes. The geometry taught in today's public schools is based on Euclidian geometry.
What are the names of some famous mathematicians?
Pythagoras; Euclid; Isaac Newton; Gottfried Leibniz; Bernhard Riemann; Albert Einstein; Dr. Michio Kaku ... The answer to this question is always going to be the subject of some debate because there are so many!
However, Isaac Newton, Archimedes and Euclid are always going to be among the most prominent.
<><><>
Sir Isaac Newton is one of the most well-known mathematicians and his work affected every branch of mathematics in his era. His most famous work was Principia (1687).
<><><>
In no particular order, here is a list of famous mathematicians:

Carl F. Gauss
Leonhard Euler
Archimedes
Bernhard Riemann
Euclid
Henri Poincaré
Joseph-Louis Lagrange
David Hilbert
Gottfried W. Leibniz
Is Gottfried Leibniz a born-again christian?
There is absolutely no doubt that Leibniz was a dedicated Christian. No historian disputes this fact

How was John Napier's childhood?
His parents were relatively young but well-placed in the community. As was the custom, Napier didn't attend school until he was 13 years old, but dropped out fairly quickly. After that, not much is known about his experience until he was 21; some suspect he spent the time travelling in Europe.
Archimedes principles state dat wen a body is partially or completely immersed in a liquid the uptrust equal to the weight of the object displaced
All three wrote papers on various aspects of computing.
- Babbage's papers were on mechanical general purpose decimal computers, but he never built any.
- Von Neuman's were on an electronic general purpose binary computer already being built as a follow on to ENIAC. He actually had little to do with the origin of the ideas in the paper,but he soon built his own faster machine.
- Alan Turing wrote a paper in 1936 that laid out in rough form all the parts of a functional computer. But as the paper was simply a mathematical proof (of something many mathematics did not want to hear) his machine was ignored until well after his suicide in the 1950s.
What are the contributions of Rene Descartes in Geometry?
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who introduced coordinated geometry by means of the Cartesian plane which consist of an horizontal x axis and vertical y axis that are perpendicular to each other and bisect each other at the origin whose coodinates are (0, 0)
What networks were Isaac Newton affiliated with?
Newton became active in public life after the publication of Principia.He became the Cambridge University member of Parliament in 1689 and held his seat until Parliament dissolved the following year. He became warden of the mint in 1696. He was appointed master of the mint in 1699, a position he held until his death.
In 1699, he also became a member of the Royal Society council and an associate of the French Academy. He was elected to Parliament again from the university in 1701. He left Cambridge and settled permanently in London in 1701. He became president of the Royal Society in 1703 and was reelected annually until his death. Queen Anne knighted Newton in 1705.
Karl Josef Silberbauer was the SS man who arrested the Franks and the other occupants of the secret annexe.
What did Archimedes do to discover buoyancy?
Legend says that Archimedes discovered the principle of displacement while stepping into a full bath. He realized that the water that ran over equaled in volume the submerged part of his body. Through further experiments, he deduced the above mentioned Archimedes' principle.
Who is the greatest mathematician?
Aryabhata (AD 476 - 550), is the author of several treatises on mathematics and astronomy, some of which are lost. His major work, Aryabhatiya, a compendium of mathematics and astronomy, was extensively referred to in the Indian mathematical literature, and has survived to modern times. The mathematical part of the Aryabhatiya covers arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry and spherical trigonometry. It also contains continued fractions, quadratic equations, sums of power series and a table of sines.Aryabhata is the author of several treatises on mathematics and astronomy, some of which are lost.

What is the use of de Morgan's theorem?
De Morgan's theorem is used to help simplify Boolean Expressions. Digital Circuits can be simplified by the application of this theorem.

Why is Charles Babbage known as the father of computing?
Because he designed the first mechanical computer.
In 1953, the first high-speed printer was developed by Remington-Rand for use on the Univac computer.
In 1938, Chester Carlson invented a dry printing process called electrophotography commonly called a Xerox, the foundation technology for laser printers to come.
