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.

Charles Babbage's most famous assistant was Ada Lovelace.
Why was Albert Einstein known as a great mathematician?
hes the one who created E=mc2 the two is squared
Does Archimedes' principle hold in a vessel in a free fall?
For a free fall, the effective value of acceleration due to gravity is zero. As a result, the buoyant force will not exit. Therefore, Archimedes's principle will not hold good in this situation.
What is the contribution of mathematicians in the field of pie?
They have helped to create a consistent system of measurements so you can always have the same amount of ingredients and temperature when making a pie.
This ensures that the pies you make will always be the same.
Amalie Emmy Noether [March 23, 1882-April 14, 1935] was the daughter of German mathematician Max Noether [September 24, 1844-December 13, 1921]. In her own right, she became a mathematical groundbreaker in abstract algebra and theoretical physics. In Germany, she taught at the world-renowned University of Gottingen. In 1932, she accepted a position in the United States of America at Bryn Mawr, in Pennsylvania. Three years later, she died after surgery on an ovarian cyst. She was cremated, and her ashes spread under the walkway around the cloisters of the M. Carey Thomas Library.
How did Archimedes introduce exponents?
Archimedes is said to have invented exponents to express very large numbers. A passage from The Sand Reckoner is offered as evidence. To say that he invented exponents is a stretch of the facts; but he was aware of the concepts involved.
Who was the Founding Father of Geometry?
Euclid, (Ancient Greek: Εὐκλείδης Eukleidēs), ~ 300 BC, also known as
Euclid of Alexandria, (Εὐκλείδης ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς)
Did Isaac Newton have any children?
No he did not have any children. He certainly never married and a program aired on PBS stated that Isaac Newton claimed to be a 'virgin' when he died in his eighties, so he wasn't claiming any illegitimate children if he had fathered any.
How many seconds are in thirty minutes?
30 seconds is half a minute (0.5 minutes), as there are 60 seconds in a full minute.
How did Archimedes calculate pi?
He calculated the perimeters of regular polygons inscribed within a unit circle and circumscribing the circle (outside the circle). The first is always less than the circumference of the circle ( = 2*pi) and the second is always more. As you increase the number of sides of the polygons, the polygons get closer and closer to the circle and their perimeters get nearer to the circumference.
Who can be considered the father of computers other than Charles Babbage?
Some of the others:
- George Boole, boolean algebra
- Alan Turing, developed concept of stored programming
- John Vincent Atanasoff, designed first electronic digital computer
- Tommy Flowers, designed Colossus the first programmable electronic digital computer
- Konrad Zuse, created German computing industry
- Claude Elwood Shannon, information theory
- John von Neumann, wrote an incomplete First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC. describing a practical stored program computer
Did Charles Babbage win any awards?
yes it is true that Charles Babbage has won a lot of awards.i do know a few of them but i can't name any of them right now because i had wrote them down on another piece of paper that i left home.but i will get back to all of you as soon as i get home which might take a little time.
What is the number of years Alexander the great was a student of Aristotle?
Alexander, who was then not great, but simply son of Philip, studied for 3 years under Aristotle, from age 13 to age 16.
Grigori perelman what he did for math?
He solved one of the most famous math problems for which no solution existed.
The problem is called the Poincare conjecture. It comes from a mathematical field called topology. Unfortunately it is quite a complex problem even to describe, certainly to difficult for me.
You have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning What does this mean?
I suppose that it means that you have never met a proper mathematician. Or that you are so pig headed in your arrogance that you are unwilling to accept the validity of anyone whose reasoning disagreed with yours.
What was Fibonacci's famous mathematical invention?
Fibonacci is most famous for his description of the number sequence, which in the 19th century was given the name 'Fibonacci numbers' . The sequence is made by starting with two ones, and adding them up, then to make every new term, the previous two terms need to be added together.
What are the applications of cauchy-riemann equations in engineering?
Well, cauchy-riemann differential equation is a part of complex variables and in real-life applications such as engineering, it can be used in determining the flow of fluids, such as the flow around the pipe. In fluid mechanics, the cauchy-riemann equations are decribed by two complex variables, i.e. u and v, and if these two variables satisfy the equations in an open subset of R2, then the vector field can be asserted from the two cauchy-riemann equations, ux = vy (1) uy = - vx (2) This I think can help interpreting the potential flow (Wikipedia) in two dimensions using the cauchy-riemann equations. In fluid mechanics, the potential flow can be analyzed using the cauchy-riemann equations.
Who was the first mathematician to calculate pi?
The first person to calculate pi was Archimedes, around 250 B.C. Using the formula:
A = pi r^2
How many 101s are in one million?
It is so very simple and quick to get the answer, especially since, if you need it, you can use the calculator that comes with your computer. But since you are obviously not able to do so, the answer is 9900.99009900 recurring.
