  1. Mathematicians By: Megan Smallwood

  2. Brahmagupta ‘Bhillamalacarya’ • (589-668) • He was from: Rajasthan (India)

  3. Brahmagupta ‘Bhillamalacarya’

  4. Brahmagupta ‘Bhillamalacarya’ • His best know work is Brahmasphutasiddhanta, it was written in 628 in Bhinmal. Its 25 chapters the contain mathematical results.

  5. Brahmagupta ‘Bhillamalacarya’ • He was a 7th Century Indian mathematician and astronomer. Brahmagupta wrote some important works on both mathematics and astronomy.

  6. Brahmagupta ‘Bhillamalacarya’ • Stated “When zero is added to a number or subtracted from a number, the number remains unchanged. A number multiplied by zero becomes zero.”

  7. 1637-1708 He was from: Japan. Takakazu Seki

  8. Takakazu Seki

  9. Seki was a self-taught prodigy who developed a new notation for algebra. He also made several discover before Western mathematics. Takakazu Seki

  10. He discovered the Newton-Raphson method, Newton's interpolation formula, Bernoulli numbers, discriminants, methods of calculus. Takakazu Seki

  11. He calculated pi to ten decimal places using the Aitkin's method. He also worked with the magic squares. Takakazu Seki

  12. 1850-1891 She was from Russia. Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya

  13. Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya

  14. Sofia was self-taught She was considered the greatest female mathematician ever before Emma Noether. Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya

  15. Her most famous work was the Kovalevskaya top, which was called a "genuine highlight of 19th-century mathematics”. Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya

  16. Sofia studied Abelian integrals and many other differential equations. Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya
