  2. Emmy Noether (1751-1920) • Known for her contributions to abstract algebra • Known for her contributions to theoretical physics • Born in a Jewish family • Her father was a mathematician • originally planned to teach French or English

  3. Went to the university of Erlangen • Worked at a mathematical institute for 7 years without pay. • Her students where sometimes called “Noether boys” • Moved to the U.S. in 1933

  4. In her time women where largely excluded in the math world • She spent 4 years lecturing in math • She underwent surgery for a cyst and died at the age of 53

  5. Isaac Newton (1581-1750) • Famous physicist and mathematician • Created the laws of motion • Built the first practical reflecting telescope • Studied at the Trinity collage

  7. Dedicated most of his time to study alchemy • Most of his work was published long after he died • He changed scientists view point of the universe for the next 3 centuries

  8. Aryabhatta (400-1580) • His birth place is uncertain • He was Hindu • Known for math and astronomy • Based on older traditions • Used angle measuring devices

  9. He covered the following • Arithmetic • Algebra • Trigonometry • Fractions

  10. Quadratic equations • Table of sines • Spherical trigonometry • Continued fractions

  11. Direct details his work are known only from the Aryabhatiya. • A lot of his works are lost • Many documents had to be translated to English • He made the place value system more easy to work with • Started the use of zero in the numberline

  12. Aryabhata discussed the concept of sine in his work that means “half chord” • n AryabhatiyaAryabhata provided intelligent results for the use of cubes and squares • He thought the sky rotated instead of the earth
