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.

How did george boole contribute to the field of math?
George Boole was a mathematician, logician, and philosopher. He is credited with being the founder of digital electronics which led to the development of the first calculator.
What did the mathmetician Omar Khayyam find out in 1074?
He was Recognised as the author of the most important treatise on algebra before modern times as reflected in his Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra giving a geometric method for solving cubic equations by intersecting a hyperbola with a circle. He also contributed to calendar reform and may have proposed a heliocentric theory well before Copernicus.

Charlotte Angas Scott atttended Girton College in 1876. She attended because she received a scholarship.
What was Nicolaus Copernicus position in beliefs?
Nicolaus Copernicus believed that the planets revolved around the sun. At the time, it was believed that the sun and planets revolved around Earth. Because of this, when after his works were published (which didn't happen until just before he died), followers of Copernicus were considered heretics.
Unfortunately, the browser used for posting questions is hopelessly inadequate for mathematics: it strips away most symbols. All that we can see is "...find Th and Th derivative of y - five cos (twox) ...". From that it is not at all clear what the missing symbols (operators) might be. I am guessing that you want the nth and (n+1)th derivatives of something like y = -5*cos(2x). I am also assuming that you are familiar with the chain rule for finding derivatives. Finally, this browser is also rubbish and I cannot show superscripts so I will use the ^ symbol to represent powers..
y = -5*cos(2x)dy/dx = -5*[-sin(2x)]*2 = 2*5*sin(2x) d^2y/dx^2 = 2*5*cos(2x)*2 = 2^2*5*cos(2x)d^3y/dx^3 = 2^2*5*[-sin(2x)]*2 = -2^3*5*sin(2x) d^4y/dx^4 = -2^3*5*cos(2x)*2 = -2^4*5*cos(2x) = 2^4*y
So,for n = 1, 5, 9 ... [n = 1 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = 2^n*5*sin(2x) = 2^n*5*cos(pi/2 - 2x)for n = 2, 6, 10 ... [n = 2 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = 2^n*5*cos(2x) = -2^n*y
for n = 3, 7, 11 ... [n = 3 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = -2^n*5*sin(2x) = -2^n*5*cos(pi/2 - 2x)
for n = 4, 8, 12 ... [n = 0 mod(4)]: d^ny/dx^n = -2^n*5*cos(2x) = 2^n*y
What did nicolaus Copernicus discoverabout the universe?
he found out the sun was the center of the universe
What is the answer to the carl friedrich gauss formula?
There are several formulae named after Gauss; anyway, a formula normally doesn't have a single answer, rather, the answer depends on the specific numbers used for the calculation.
It is 12 feet tall - as stated in the question!
Is Euler's law and Euler's formula the same thing?
No, In mathematics and physics, there is a large number of topics named in honor of Leonhard Euler, many of which include their own unique function, equation, formula, identity, number (single or sequence), or other mathematical entity. Unfortunately, many of these entities have been given simple and ambiguous names such as Euler's Law, Euler's function, Euler's equation, and Euler's formula Euler's formula is a mathematical formula that shows a deep relationship between trigonometric functions and the exponential function. Euler's first law states the linear momentum of a body is equal to theproduct of the mass of the body and the velocity of its sentre of mass Euler's second law states that the sum of the external moments about a point is equal to the rate of change of angular momentum about that point.
