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.

Archimedes
Aristotle and his wife Pythias had one daughter named Pythias (yes they both had the same name. Aristotle and a handmaiden of his daughters had an illegitimate son named Nicomachus.
Aristotle was a famous philosopher of the ancient Greece a rock star of the time so could have fathered several unknown children. He also helped in the raising of many people's children. In this regard he acted as a benefactor, teacher, and surrogate father.
Did Archimedes have obstacles?
Archimedes obstacles were simply that the things in life he had were not good enough and he had the will to improve and make new ideas to make people's lives easier.
Who restated Euclid's 5th postulate?
Probably the best known equivalent of Euclid's parallel postulate, contingent on his other postulates, is Playfair's axiom, named after the Scottish mathematician John Playfair, which states:
In a plane, given a line and a point not on it, at most one line parallel to the given line can be drawn through the point.Greek mathematician who discover radical expression?
It was Évariste Galois (1811 -- 1832) who discovered that there exists a radical expression for the roots if and only if the Galois group of the polynomial - initially a permutation group on the roots - is solvable Galois97. But the task itself was impractical in his days. This package is the first public tool which provides a practical method for solving a polynomial algebraically. The implementation is based on Galois' ideas and the algorithm is described in Distler05.
Évariste Galois (French: [evaʁist ɡalwa]) (25 October 1811 - 31 May 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 and group theory, two major branches of abstract algebra, and the subfield of Galois connections. He was the first to use the word "group" (French: groupe) as a technical term in mathematics to represent a group of permutations. A radical Republican during the monarchy of Louis Philippe in France, he died from wounds suffered in a duel under questionable circumstances[1] at the age of twenty.

Did Fibonacci discover the Fibonacci numbers?
He was not the first to discover it.
Fibonacci lived around 1200 AD. He might have discovered it independently but it was known in India from 200 BC.
