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.

Is there the proof of pi's and tau's existence?
Yes. But the two ratios are abstract concepts, not physical objects. [Is there proof that pain exists?]. There are many mathematical series which, in the limit, equal pi. Two examples which are easy to remember, are:Gregory and Liebniz : 4*(1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - .... ), and
Euler: sqrt[6*(1^-2 + 2^-2 + 3^-2 + 4^-2 ... )]
How has Pythagoras theorem impacted the fields of math and science?
Straight-line distances between points defined by coordinate in 2 or more dimensions, are measure using Pythagoras. Many applications in mathematics and science depend on the distance between objects.
Did Pythagoras discover the formula for finding the hyptenuse of a triangle?
No but traditionally it is accredited to him
It's someone that proved that the earth wasn't themiddleof the universe but the sun was the end.
Did Pythagoras live in samos in ancient Greece forever?
No, he traveled to many different countries including Egypt, where he spent decades learning the Egyptian Mysteries. After his travels he moved to Croton.
What are some legacies from Nicolas Copernicus?
i think that if you want to learn more about him in mathematical choose another one because i hate these things ooh discus-ting
Who did Pythagoras work with other than Albert Einstein?
Ummm...Pythagoras lived in Ancient Greece. Albert Einstein lived in the 19th and 20th Century. I don't think they worked together.
91378. Haven't you got a calculator?
9x2 = 18 = ....8, carry the 1
8x2 = 16 + 1 = 17 = ...78, carry the 1
6x2 = 12 + 1 = 13 = ..378, carry the 1
5x2 = 10 + 1 = 11 = .1378, carry the 1
4x2 = 8 + 1 = 9 = 91378
Who was the mathematician who sytemized geometry?
Euclid (~300 B.C.).
Euclid started with 10 facts that were self-evident and required no proof, called "postulates" and "axioms." From those, he developed hundreds of propositions and theorems, which he proved using only the 10 postulates/axioms and previously proven theorems. The collection of this work was written in 13 books called "Euclid's Elements". Its logical, axiomatic approach and use of rigorous mathematical proofs has remained a model for mathematics and science for over 2000 years.
napkins = 3¼ × tissues
→ N = 3.25T
Where:
N = number of napkins sold
T = number of tissues sold
Why did Rene descartes like mathes?
Most people who use their brains and are open to thought will appreciate the beauty of mathematics. Some are able mathematicians, other less so. Descartes was one of the more able people.
Did Archimedes die where he grew up?
Yes, Archimedes was born c. 287 BC in the seaport city of Syracuse, Sicily. He died (or was killed) there in 212 BC during the Second Punic War, when Roman forces under General Marcus Claudius Marcellus captured the city of Syracuse.
Nicolaus Copernicus what did he do?
nicolaus is the father of modern astronomy. He proved that the planets revolve around the sun and that the center of the universe is not earth
If you're referring to the great French mathematician, we regret
to inform you that he died in Paris, on August 19, 1662 (sic).
