  1. By: Elizabeth Dotson 3 Mathematicians

  2. Sir Issac Newton • Born in (1642-1727) England • He solved the Delian cube-doubling problem, before the invention of the calculus variations. • He developed many theorems, he proved several about quadrilaterals and their in-or circumscribing ellipses, and constructed the parabola defined by four given points.

  3. Sir. Issac Newton • Newton was a very smart man, who built many well known inventions, such as the windmill that was powered by a mouse on a treadmill. • At the age of 22, he left the University and began the revolutionary advances in mathematics, optics, dynamics, thermodynamics, acoustics and celestial mechanics. • Newton is also famous for the Three Laws of Motion.

  4. Sir Issac Newton • Newton ranks #2 on Michael Hart's most famous list of the Most Influential Person's in History. Newton would certainly rank as well first on any list of physicists, or scientists in general. • Newton once wrote”Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in multiplicity and confusion of things.” • Newton was buried at Westminster Abbey.

  6. Archimedes • Born in (287-212 BC) Greek domain • Archimedes is known to be the greatest of ancient mathematicians. • He studied at Euclid's school, and his achievements are very impressive given the lack of good mathematical technology and knowledge.

  7. Archimedes • Archimedes made advances in number theory, algebra, and analysis, but is the most renowned for his many theorems of plane and solid geometry. • He was also the first to prove Heron's formula for the area of the triangle. • One of his most remarkable and famous geometric results was determining the area of parabolic section, which he offered two independent proofs, one using his Principle of the Lever, the other using geometric series.

  8. Archimedes • Some of Archimedes greatest writings are preserved on a palimpsest which has been rediscovered and properly studied only since 1998. • Archimedes discovered formulae for the volume and surface area of a sphere, and may even have even been the first to notice and prove the simple relation of the circle's circumference and area.

  10. Maria Gaetana Agnesi • 18th century mathematician • She was the oldest of 21 children born into the family of Pietro Angesi. • The Agnesi family was well to do family in Milan, Italy in the 18th century. Her family came from a merchant class family and made their money in cloth goods.

  11. Maria Gaetana Agnesi • Her and her sister were regularly put on display in the salon of their family home. She was adept at discussing philosophy as well as the sciences and mathematics. • When she got older, one of her responsibilities was to tutor her younger brothers in mathematics.She had a passion for scholarships including mathematics and had absorbed works by Newton.

  12. Maria Gaetana • Maria had previously published Propsitiones Philosophicae a volume of about 200 essays on various topics about her father's conversations. • She is also known for Analytical Institutions. It is the earliest math text ever written by a woman and translated into English and French for the use as a textbook.

  13. Maria Gaetana • After Maria's father died in 1752. He had left the family in a lot of debt, and most of their possessions had to sold to cover it. This changed Maria's Gaetena lifestyle and set her free to purse her passion and happiness. • Maria died in 1799, she gave selflessly to others, she worked with the ill and homeless people of Milan with what time she had left.
