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 are the great mathematician and their formula?
There are many great mathematicians who have formulas named after them.
I'll start with Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783), and Euler's Formula:
- eix = cos(x) + i sin(x), where x is expressed in radians, and i is the imaginary unit i=sqrt(-1)
Gabriel Cramer, and Cramer's rule (not really a formula though). It is a method for solving systems of linear equations by expressing the equations as a matrix of coefficients, then taking determinants.
What award leonhard euler get?
² At 19, Euler won an honorable mention for his solution to the problem posed by the Paris Academy, and later in life won first prize in this international competition 12 times.
² In his lifetime he published more than 500 books and papers, and another 400 were published.
²after receiving his degree he was invited by the Empress of Russia in 1727 to be a professor of physics, and later mathematics, at the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg.

Jesse Eugene Russell (b April 26, 1948) is an African-American inventor and one of the visionaries' whose innovative perspectives profoundly influenced the wireless communications industry, the driver of growth in 21st century. African American Engineer .Trained as an electrical engineer at Tennessee State University and Stanford University, and recognized globally as a thought-leader, technology expert and inventor in the field of wireless communication for over 20 years, Russell has played a major role in shaping the wireless communications industry direction through his visionary leadership and innovative perspectives for standards, technologies as well as innovative new wireless service concepts.
He holds numerous patents and continues to invent and innovate in the emerging area of next generation broadband wireless networks, technologies and services, which is frequently referred to as 4G. Russell was inducted into the United States' National Academy of Engineering during the Clinton Administration for his innovative contribution to the field of Wireless Communication. He pioneered the field of digital cellular communication in the 80s through the use of high power linear amplification and low bit rate voice encoding technologies and received a patent in 1992 (US patent # 5,084,869) for his work in the area of digital cellular base station design.
Russell is currently Chairman and CEO of incNETWORKS,Inc. a New Jersey, USA based Broadband Wireless Communications Company focused on 4th Generation (4G) Broadband Wireless Communications Technologies, Networks and Services
What was Abraham de Moivre's contribution to the field of mathematics?
Abraham de Moivre was a French Mathematician (1667-1754).He was a protestant and came to London.His contribution to mathematics was in the mathematical branch in Statistics and derived (De Moivre's theorm)- the poisson distribution and hypergeometrical distributions on statistics,the derivation of probability density function of the normal distribution distribution in statistical analysis.

Who are the mathematician behind the probability?
"A gambler's dispute in 1654 led to the creation of a mathematical theory of probability by two famous French mathematicians, Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat. Antoine Gombaud, Chevalier de Méré, a French nobleman with an interest in gaming and gambling questions, called Pascal's attention to an apparent contradiction concerning a popular dice game. The game consisted in throwing a pair of dice 24 times; the problem was to decide whether or not to bet even money on the occurrence of at least one "double six" during the 24 throws. A seemingly well-established gambling rule led de Méré to believe that betting on a double six in 24 throws would be profitable, but his own calculations indicated just the opposite.
Who were Karl friedrich gauss' parents?
Gebhard Dietrich Gauss and Dorothea Benz. Its CarlFriedrich Gauss, by the way.
Why was ramanujan called the father of mathematics?
If he was called the father of mathematics, it was probably by someone who did not understand mathematical history at all - or perhaps of parenthood. It would be extremely strange that if a father was born several thousand years after what he was supposedly the father of! Aristotle and Euclid had already helped mathematics grow a couple of thousand years before Ramanujan was born!
This is NOT to minimise his contribution to mathematics, but father he was not.
What time is 25 hours past 900 am?

What is the ratio 6 to 26 expressed as a fraction in simplest form?
It is: 6/26 = 3/13 as a fraction in its simplest form
How do you write nine tenths two hundredths and four thousandths in two other forms?
They are respectively: 9/10 = 0.9, 2/100 = 0.02 and 4/1000 = 0.004
How long is each side of a square with a perimeter of 12.32 centimeters?
Each side is: 12.32/4 = 3.08 cm
