3. He discover a formula called prosthaphaeresis • He is called the Father of Modern Algebra because of his use of decimal notation and variable letters

4. He was born in fortenay poitou, which is now called vendee, France • He died in what is now called the city of Paris, France • He decided in 1564 to take a position in a service that is called the Antoinette d’Aubeterre. • In this time it was a period of great political and religious unrest in France.

5. His first work apeared in paris in 1571. • Even he himself was able to present methods for solving equations of second, third, and even to the fourth degree.

6. Isaac (Sir) Newton • 1642-1727 • From England • He got famous from his 3 laws of motion- inertia, force, and reciprocal action • He is also called the Father of Calculus

7. He is also famous for calculus,and optics • In 1687 he published his first book Principia Mathematics • He was depressed because his mother kept pulling him out of school so he could become a farmer

8. He lived with his grand parents at the age of 12 he was reunited with his mother • He attend a school called Grantham, a town in Lincolnshire

9. After attending the school Cambridge he was force out of the university in 1655 because of the great plague that accrued in Cambridge • Legend has it in 1687 he experience the falling apple that help him explain gravity pull

10. When the plague past Cambridge newton attend Cambridge in 1667 where he got his degree in arts • when newton became try to show his discovers he made in optic Hooke's question his discovers and from there on out newton and Hooke would have a major impact in the world

11. Emmy Noether • She was a professor at Erlangen • She studied many different languages English, French, and German • She went to study mathematic at the University of Erlangen during 1900 to 1902.

12. She work on ideal theory producing abstract theory which help develop ring theory • Her reputation grew as she progress threw her work • She had her first piece of work when she arrived in Gottingen

13. Her work led to formulations to Einstein work • She helped edit the, Mathematische Annalen • She was Jewish so her mathematic accomplishments didn’t matter because the Nazi took over in 1933

14. She is also known as Amalie Noether, Emily Noether, Amelie Noether • She was born in Germany • She came from a very wealth family • She had a career in teaching French and English she change her mind later and became a mathematicians

15. She went had to get permistion to attend two university (Erlangen, and Gottingen) which wouldn’t let any women attend classes for credit. • This change later in 1904 • In 1908 she attend Circolo Matematico di Palermo
