Who are the three best mathematician of modern times?
The greatest mathematician of modern times is Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). He is also known as "Prince of Mathematicians", "greatest mathematician since antiquity" and "German Archimedes".
According to Felix Klein, greatest mathematician of the nineteen century, "if we seek heroes of roughly equal stature in the history of our science, only two forerunners of Gauss can be considered to have been equally blessed by nature: Archimedes and Newton" (in "Development of Mathematics in the 19th Century", page 55).

What three pursuits did Pythagoras dedicate his life to?

Archimedes discovered and invented several things throughout his life:
- Archimedes' principle (one of several apsects involving buoyancy).
- The Archimedean screw (a fluid-moving device).
- The block-and-pulley (using mechanical advantage to move loads with less effort).
- Inventing the odometer (a device that measures distance travelled by a vehicle).
- The relation of a circle's area to its radius (given by a mathematical relationship and a basic tool of modern mathematics).
There is little known about Euclid's past life and family. His mother and father are not known.
Euler's line is the line that, inside of a triangle that isn't equilateral, contains the orthocenter, the circumcenter, the centroid, and the center of the nine-point circle
How is Pythagoras and what did he do?
Pythagoras, a greek mathematician living about 2600 years ago, became immortalised simply by finding a method for calculating the length of the hypotenuse without having to draw it out
What was Fibonacci's occupation?
Fibonacci was a mathematician who travelled and studied under other mathematicians. He received a salary from the Republic of Pisa for his work in math and science.
He created what was known as "Archimedes Principle" which defines how an object either floats or sinks. If the displaced water of an object is heavier then the object, it floats, and vice versa. He also invented many of the six simple machines which are a great use today in our lives.

he did not have college back in the middle ages so when he was travling with his fatherr is when was learning about math
