Leonardo Pisano Bigollo‚ better known as Fibonacci‚ was an Italian mathematician during the 13th century. He is often referred to as "the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages” due to his great contribution in European mathematics. When he was a young boy‚ Fibonacci went on a trip with his father to North Africa. It was there that he became familiar with Arabic mathematics. Using the knowledge he gained during his trip‚ he wrote a book titled “Liber Abaci” (Which translates to “Book

exists. The famous mathematician Rene Descarte debated Blaise over this issue. Descarte did not believe there was a vacuum. In October 1947 Blaise wrote another book‚ New Experiments Concerning Vacuums. This caused a lot of debates. After a malignant growth spread from his stomach to his brain‚ Blaise Pascal died on August 19‚ 1662 at the age of 39. Blaise Pascal’s biggest contributions in the field of mathematics deal with probability. He and a French mathematician Fermat sent letters back

everyday lives almost every we look. And throughout history their have many intelligent mathematicians‚ scientist‚ and engineers who have made how we live today possible. For example‚ Leonhard Euler was a genius mathematician who is considered to be one of the greatest of the eighteenth century and maybe of all time. So‚ what did he do to become of the greatest mathematician? He was considered to be mathematician‚ physicist‚ astronomer‚ logician and engineer. He was born on April 15‚ 1707‚ in Basel

The documentary‚ “Dangerous Knowledge” by David Malone‚ focuses on four major mathematicians‚ Georg Cantor‚ Ludwig Boltzmann‚ Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing. For each mathematician‚ their genius drove them insane and eventually led them to commit suicide; however‚ their intelligence has greatly affected todays mathematics. This documentary discusses many of the questions that mathematical thinkers are trying to answer. As a child‚ Georg Cantor heard voices‚ which he believed was God‚ calling him into

George Boole George Boole was a well known mathematician. He was born in Lincoln‚ Lincolnshire‚ England on November 2‚ 1815 and died on December 8‚ 1864 in Ballintemple‚ County Cork‚ Ireland. Boole has achieved many accomplishments and has won many awards for his accomplishments. Boole did not study for an academic degree‚ but he started working at the age of 16 as an assistant school teacher with an interest in language. However‚ in 1835 he opened his own school and began to study mathematics

His works are published in Greek then translated into many different languages due to the fact he was a popular mathematician writer. He went to Columbia University in New York when he was only 15 and graduated from Applied Mathematics at the École Pratique des Hautes Études i0 n Paris and incorporated mathematical models for the nervous system.

Tartaglia would have students of his own; Richard Wentworth of England‚ Giovanni Antonio Rusconi known for his work in architecture‚ and Giovanni Battista Benedetti‚ a mathematician and a philosopher. As I have shown‚ Tartaglia rose from impossible odds and humble beginnings to become a great teacher and respected mathematician. With his extraordinary ability to comprehend concepts and ideas‚ he was able to overcome the harshest of realities. To his credit are some exciting ideas that reach out
