  3. Isaac Newton Click the house to learn about other mathematicians • From – England • Time Period – (1642-1727) • Contribution to Mathematics – Calculus (differentiation, integration) • Fun Fact – Became a mathematics professor at the age of 26.

  4. Archimedes Click the house to learn about other mathematicians • From – Italy • Time Period – 287 BC – 212 BC • Contribution to Mathematics – Geometry (proofs, areas, volumes) • Fun Fact – Most proud of discovering the volume of the sphere.

  5. Carl Gauss Click the house to learn about other mathematicians • From – Germany • Time Period – 1777 – 1855 • Contribution to Mathematics – The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra • Fun Fact – Refused to publish theories unless they were absolutely perfect.

  6. Leonhard Euler Click the house to learn about other mathematicians • From – Switzerland • Time Period – 1707-1783 • Contribution to Mathematics – Euler’s theorem, Euler’s formula (calculus) • Fun Fact – Could recite the entire Aeneid word-for-word.

  7. Bernhard Riemann Click the house to learn about other mathematicians • From – Germany • Time Period – 1826 - 1866 • Contribution to Mathematics – Geometry of space, Riemann integral • Fun Fact – Was a pupil of Carl Gauss.

  8. Euclid • From – Egypt • Time Period – 350 BC – 265 BC • Contribution to Mathematics – Writing the principles of geometry The Elements • Fun Fact – Unknown birth and death place.

  9. Henri Poincare • From – France • Time Period – !854 - 1912 • Contribution to Mathematics – Formulated the Poincaré conjecture • Fun Fact – Considered to be one of the founders of topology.

  10. J.L. Lagrange • From – Italy • Time Period – 1736 - 1813 • Contribution to Mathematics – calculus of variations, solution of polynomial equations and power series and functions • Fun Fact – His father wanted him to become a lawyer.

  11. Who was a pupil of Carl Gauss??? A) J.L. Lagrange B) Isaac Newton C) Bernhard Riemann

  12. Try Again! J.L. Lagrange and Carl Gauss were from the same time period. Lagrange was an Italian Mathematician while Gauss was from Germany. Click the question mark to return to the question

  13. Try Again! Isaac Newton was around long before Carl Gauss was a mathematician.

  14. Correct! Bernhard Riemann was a pupil of Carl Gauss! Click the check mark to continue.
