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.

What contribution did the Indians make in mathematic?

Most important: the numbers we use today were made by indians then passed to arabs then to europeans and later to the whole world.

What is the fermat last theorem?

That there are no whole number solutions to the equation:

xn + yn = zn

when n > 2.

If n = 2 this is:

x2 + y2 = z2

is known as Pythagoras' Theorem, and has many whole number solutions, eg 32 + 42 = 52, 52 + 122 = 132.

Who brought the factor zero in Mathematics?

What did Nicolas Copernicus invent?

Nicolas Copernicus came up with the Copernican Model of the Solar System. It described the Earth orbiting the Sun, displacing the Ptolemaic model, which placed the Earth at the centre of the universe, and formed the basis of what we know of the solar system to this very day. This is called a Heliocentric model of the universe, from Helios (the greek god of the sun, often used to show the sun himself), and Centric, (meaning around, where we get our word centre from).

How did Archimedes invent algebra?

Ancient babylonians developed the ROOTS of Algebra long before 820AS as someone incorrectly claimed. Earliest references I saw were around Archimedes time (2,500 years ago).

Archimedes figured out what to do with algebra and gave calculus its first big push. He also gave geometry a big push, and his work in three dimensions.. Quite possibly the smartest man who ever lived..

Watch a documentary on the Archimedes palimpsest - very enlightening. HE's WELL worth studying, unlike plagiarists who came later.

Was Nicolas Copernicus a white mathematician?

yes he thought that earth and other plantes revolved around the sun not the other way around

How do you get over your first love of three and a half years who was your whole world your everything your laughter your sadness your shoulder to cry on.?

Time. That's all you can do. Just give it time. I was only with my boyfriend for 9 1/2 months and he broke up with me. I was sooo in love with him. We were broken up for 3 months and got back together and I still wasnt over him after the 3 months. That's why I got back with him! But I do know that you just have to give it time. It may take lots and lots of time. Just don't ruin your life over it. You will find that one person. God has a plan for everyone. And he's made a significant other for everyone also. You will find "the one" at some point in your life. You should maybe look. Or not look and they may come to you by fate. Like I said, it just takes time. Im sorry for your loss but life does go on.
