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.

Who is Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci?
He is a famous mathematician, He created the numbers we use today. He wrote a book also, called, Liber Abbaci. Meaning 'Book of Calculating'. He created a sequence. You can find this sequence in many places, Mostly in nature. You can also find Fibonacci numbers in nature. You can find Fibonacci in the human body too. The sequence is
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 5 = 13
You take the last two numbers and add them to get a new number and add those two this sequence never stops.
Most people cannot recite the first 20 Fibonacci Numbers. This will help you find the correct answer if you try it and do not get these numbers you did something wrong.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181,

Name any 4 Indian mathematicians and write their contributions?
1. Aryabhata: his work, named "Aryabhatiya", is one of the first Indian mathematical compilations in India, supposedly on 500 A.D. It is compared to "The Elements", of Euclid, i.e., a compilations of previous mathematics who didn't leave published material.
2. Brahmagupta: in his works are found some interesting things , in special: one of the first representaions of the number "zero"; early representations of "square roots"; integer solutions for the linear diophantine equations, etc. His main work is named "Brahmasphuta Siddhanta" and he lived on the 7th century.
3. Bhaskara: maybe the most important mathematician of the 12th century, he studied and improved the work of Brahmagupta, adding some new observations, as to consider that the division of a number different of zero (n≠0) by zero is equal to infinite (n/0 = ∞). He supposeddly lived between 1114 and 1185 and has mainly two big works: "Vija-Ganita" and "Lilavati".
4. Ramanujan: the so-called Indian genious of the 20th century. Autodidact, he was known for his shap reasoning. His contributions, among others, are the Ramanujan Conjecture, the Ramanujam's Sum and the Ramanujam Theta Function. There is a quite interesting case involving him.
His friend, Godfrey Hardy, visited him when he was ill at a hospital in the district of Putney, London. He had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and said to Ramanujan that it was an uninteresting number. Ramanujan replied then that 1729 was a quite interesting number, for it was the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways (1³ + 12³ = 1729³ = 9³ + 10³).
Carl Friedrich Gauss died in Göttingen, Germany, on February 23 1855 (he was born in Braunschweig, Germany, on April 30, 1777). He died in his sleep.

Title of the thirteenth book in euclids elements?
The thirteenth book in Euclids Elements has no specific title, but covers the Pythagorean proofs of Theaetetus (c. 417-369 bc) and the construction of the five regular Platonic solids (pyramid, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron) inside a given sphere.
How many triangles are in Sierpinski's triangle?
Well a Sierpinski Triangle is a triangle mad up of 69 small triangles.
Were women allowed into Pythagoras' secret society?
of course not women were looked at as they were only pieces of scum on th ground
Which Italian mathematician and astronomer was forbidden by authorities to teach his ideas?

Did Archimedes have any parents?
Yes. Of course he did. His father was Phidias, an astronomer, and the identity of his mother is unknown.
