Look up Gauss. Story is he added up 1..100 in grade school and invented the n*(N+1)/2.

Any on Analytic Geometry. My suggestion is "Analytic Geometry" by Charles Lehmann or "Modern Analytic Geometry" by William Wooton.

A) Hippocrates.\n\nThe "Delian Problem" is also called the "cube doubling" problem. Basically, given a cube of a certain side length and volume, you want to construct a cube with volume TWICE that of the original cube.\n\nTurns out that it's impossible with a ruler and compass (along with squaring the circle, and trisecting an angle).

well, we cannot count Fermat, he is not a mathematician,its been said that Fermat is the greatest mathematician who wasn't a mathematician...Fermat was a Judge by profession and did mathematics to take his mind off of his cases.\n\nI would say that one of the greatest Mathematicians who had something to do with probability is Blaise Pascal

math. i know, its kinda nerdy.

Euclid. a Hellenistic scholar living in Egypt in the 3rd Centiry BC.\n\nHis magnum opus was Elements, which wikipaedia summarise as follows:\n\nAlthough Elements is a geometric work, it also includes results that today would be classified as number theory. The contents of the work are as follows:\n\nBooks 1 through 4 deal with plane geometry:\n\nBook 1 contains the basic properties of geometry: the Pythagorean theorem, equality of angles and areas, parallelism, the sum of the angles in a triangle, and the three cases in which triangles are "equal" (have the same area).\n\nBook 2 is commonly called the "book of geometrical algebra," because the material it contains may easily be interpreted as algebra.\n\nBook 3 deals with circles and their properties: inscribed angles, tangents, the power of a point.\n\nBook 4 is concerned with inscribing and circumscribing triangles and regular polygons.\n\nBooks 5 through 10 introduce ratios and proportions:\n\nBook 5 is a treatise on proportions of magnitudes.\n\nBook 6 applies proportions to geometry: Thales' theorem, similar figures.\n\nBook 7 deals strictly with number theory: divisibility, prime numbers, greatest common divisor, least common multiple.\n\nBook 8 deals with proportions in number theory and geometric sequences.\n\nBook 9 applies the results of the preceding two books: the infinitude of prime numbers, the sum of a geometric series, perfect numbers.\n\nBook 10 attempts to classify incommensurable (in modern language, irrational) magnitudes by using the method of exhaustion, a precursor to integration.\n\nBooks 11 through 13 deal with spatial geometry:\n\nBook 11 generalizes the results of Books 1–6 to space: perpendicularity, parallelism, volumes of parallelepipeds.\n\nBook 12 calculates areas and volumes by using the method of exhaustion: cones, pyramids, cylinders, and the sphere.\n\nBook 13 generalizes Book 4 to space: golden section, the five regular (or Platonic) solids inscribed in a sphere

now how is that related to math?

Do you perhaps mean Georg Joachim Rheticus?\nHere's some info about him.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Joachim_Rheticus\nhttp://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9063416\nBasically, he calculated trig values to 10 decimal places for a lot of angles.

I think it was Rene Descartes who said "I think so therefore I am."  Whatta guy, not only a philosopher, but he developed the Cartesian coordinate system--y'know, used for graphing equations and functions using the x- and y-axes.

this may be somewhat subjective, eh?\n\n1) Euclid's work\n2) Isaac Newton's calculus\n3) ___________________ (open for discussion) The Pythagoreans? Archimedes? The development of Algebra from al-jah-bra...dang - i'm anxious to see the other answers

Pythagoras wasn't just a mathematician -- he was a cult leader, as well.  For more information, you could try a site like Wikipedia:

I think you mean he discovered that the angles in a triangle add up to the sum of two right angles (180 degrees). However, he is best known for the Pythagorean Theorem, which says that for all right triangles the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. Many mathematicians and others, including President Garfield, have come up with original proofs for this theorem. Here's a couple links, one to information about the famous theorem and another to biographical information on Pythagoras.

Mathametics is the science of precise observation where the space and surroundings are well defined. By changing the configuration, one can get different results, but that is not maths. For example, if one takes a rectangular post card and cuts off one corner by a sharp scissor, one would find there are five corners formed on the card. This does not mean 'Four minus one produces Five'.  Similarly, the three angles of a triangle drawn on a plane paper add up to 180'.  But if the triangle is drawn on the surface of a foot-ball, the sum will be more than 180'. The poser 2 X 2 = 5 is a similar proposition.

I did check. It was John Napier. This used to be a very important name before calculators. To simplify multipling large numbers it was useful to first change the numbers to their logs add them together and then change back to decimals. \nRemember the law of logs/exponents that multiplying 10^2 * 10^3 = 10^5 ? Adding the exponents is the multipling the numbers. Slide rules work the same way.\nIn order for this to work he invented the scientific notation which splits a number into an exponent and mantissa.

this is math? sorry, it is bio

why did George Washington carver invent peanuts
