Research on famous mathematicians: Euclid!?
442028
Euclid (mathematician), (lived circa 300 bc), Greek mathematician, whose chief work, Elements, is a comprehensive treatise on mathematics in 13 volumes on such subjects as plane geometry, proportion in general, the properties of numbers, incommensurable magnitudes, and solid geometry. He probably was educated at Athens by pupils of Plato. He taught geometry in Alexandria and founded a school of mathematics there. The Data, a collection of geometrical theorems; the Phenomena, a description of the heavens; the Optics; the Division of the Scale, a mathematical discussion of music; and several other books have long been attributed to Euclid; most historians believe, however, that some or all of these works (other than the Elements) have been spuriously credited to him. Historians disagree as to the originality of some of his other contributions. Probably the geometrical sections of the Elements were primarily a rearrangement of the works of previous mathematicians such as those of Eudoxus, but Euclid himself is thought to have made several original discoveries in the theory of numbers (see Number Theory).\n\nEuclid's Elements was used as a text for 2000 years, and even today a modified version of its first few books forms the basis of high school instruction in plane geometry. The first printed edition of Euclid's works was a translation from Arabic to Latin, which appeared at Venice in 1482.\n\njust copy this!

This geometric trick is very involving:\nYou can use it as a starting point for geometric construction of square roots, equivalence of areas and isometric transforms\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006030501625\n\nThis other about divisibility and prime factoring of integers has deep mathematical concepts beyond it: starting from it you can speak about prime factoring, bynary count, combinatory calculus and mathematical induction\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006022300298&r=w\n\nI'm going to use them in my school classes

Fermat, I think.  He wrote he had found a proof for this, but put a note in the margin that there wasn't enough room there for the proof.  And no-one could find the proof anywhere else in his notes and he died.  A fellow named Andrew Wiles worked for a long time to find the proof, and after some ill-fated public announcements I think the proof was finally completed.\n\nI hope this helps.

Hi. Euclid did a lot more than that. : http://www.answers.com/topic/euclidean-geometry-1\nGetting folks to think rationally about geometry was a great contribution.

Just try Amazon.com and You will get it also try this site\nhttp://www.maths.ex.ac.uk/~mwatkins/isoc/doxiadis.htm\nI also did a google search for the book and it came up with some of the books. Take a look at this.\nhttp://books.google.com/books?q=What+is+Goldbachs+conjecture&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-09,GGLJ:en&sa=N&tab=wp\n\nI hope that helps. May God Bless you.

Most definitely a SCIENTIST!!  Sacred Geometry! the Golden Mean! 12 around 1!!  He is truly the Divine Architect!!!

Rene Descartes (the Cartesian coordinate plane plus many other contributions)\n\nPierre de Fermat\n\nBlaise Pascal\n\nLook them up. That can get you started. Personally, I'm going to bed.

Carl Friedrich Gauss (30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician and scientist of profound genius who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, magnetism, astronomy and optics. Sometimes known as "the prince of mathematicians", Gauss had a remarkable influence in many fields of mathematics and science and is ranked beside Euler, Newton and Archimedes as one of history's greatest mathematicians.

Gauss and Euler have so much impacted the whole history and methodology of mathematics that they deserve my top score.\n\nLooking to the other answers, I believe Newton is a bit overvalued as a mathematician (not as a physicist of course): calculus was independently discovered also by Leibniz and received fundamental contributions by many others.\n\nI also want to spend a word about Henri Poincare, a mathematician of great vision, who was ahead his time and with his work on differential equations posed the foundations for modern math branches such as dynamical systems and chaos theory.
