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.

Does 1 plus 1 using the Pythagoras' Theorem equal 2?
The Pythagerum Thyrum doesn't say anything about adding numbers.
It tells how the lengths of the sides of a right triangle are related.
According to the thyrum, 1, 1, and 2 can't be the lengths of the sides
of a right triangle, because
(1)2 + (1)2 is not equal to (2)2 .
How did Kepler expand on Copernicus' ideas?
Kepler showed that planetary orbits were actually ellipses, not circles as proposed by Copernicus.
Third- and fourth-kind polynomials CHEBYSHEV?
Yes, there are Chebyshev polynomials of the third and fourth kind, not just the first and second.
The third kind is often denoted Vn (x) and it is
Vn(x)=(1-x)1/2 (1+x)-1/2 and the domain is (-1,1)
Chebychev polynomials of the fourth kind are deonted
wn(x)=(1-x)-1/2 (1+x)1/2
As with other Chebychev polynomials, they are orthogonal.
They are both special cases of Jacobi polynomials.
What is a weird fact about Kurt Godel?
A Weird Fact About Kurt Godel Is That He Had A Ritual In Which Case He Would "Make Love" To His Pet Goats.
In a word Archimedes influences "everyone" if he had not made his discovery there would be no people today trying to add technology to his invention so he has helped millions and trying to add all that technology that has made many jobs. That's who i think Archimedes has influenced.

Is Lions Club a secret society?
It requires a one word answer NO!.
Anyone may join a Lions Club. Our meetings are open to visitors.
There are no strange rituals, no dressing up in costumes, & no coded greetings.
It beggars belief when I read some of the nonsense about red clothing & religious readings. Yes we dress for formal occasions but that is the lounge suit or dinner suit (tux).
Lions are from many religious beliefs, and have there own often opposing political views that ave no place in a Lions Club meeting, in fact such discussions are barred under our rules.
There is only one time when things become 'secret' that is when we are discussing the personal details of a member of the public that has asked for help. We would disclose that name or personal information, but that is normal confidentiality, as any one would expect.
Find your local club go along find out for yourself.
Was Nicolaus Copernicus famous during life or death?
He was a Polish clergy member who suggested the theory of the sun being the universe (heliocentric theory) instead of the Earth being the center (geocentric theory). I believe he is famous after death, since he did not publish his findings and date information about the heavens until the last year of his life, in fear of the Catholic Church damning him to purgatory for questioning their authority and belief of the geocentric theory.
Which mathematician is credited for Group Theory?
Évariste Galois (October 25, 1811 -- May 31, 1832) was a French mathematician born in Bourg-la-Reine. While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a long-standing problem. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory, a major branch of abstract algebra, and the subfield of Galois connections. He was the first to use the word "group" as a technical term in mathematics to represent a group of permutations.
Who were Karl friedrich gauss' parents?
Gebhard Dietrich Gauss and Dorothea Benz. Its CarlFriedrich Gauss, by the way.
How is Archimedes principle based on lactometers?
Lactometer is a device used for finding the purity of a milk sample. It works on the principle of Archimede's principle that a solid suspended in a fluid will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. If the milk sample is pure, then the lactometer floats on it and if it is adulterated or impure, then the lactometer sinks.
Who is this number sequence named after 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34?
Leonardo de Fibonacci, a mathematician from Pisa
Who was the first mathematician to use zero in the decimal system?
it was karen velasquez she was the first to do this if it wernt for her we wudnt have decimals tht would help us in our future :)
Why was Copernicus' work controversial?
Because people liked to believe that the Earth was at the centre of the universe and the Ptolemaic model of the universe had been seen as accurate for so long that any other idea was disapproved. It's like Darwin's theory of evolution, at the time nobody liked to believe it, it was only years later that we realised it was an extremely likely theory.
