TOP 10 GREATEST MATHEMATICIANS OF ALL TIMES

Mathematics is often called the language of the universe. Here goes the saying of probably the most genius physicist of the world.
                         

According to him,''But the creative principles resides in mathematics.In a certain sense,therefore I hold true that pure thought can grasp reality,as the ancients dreamed''.
  
Surely it's a reason to be understood.

So guys!! here are the list of those who have changed the context of the world   with their thought provoking ideas and knowledge.

10. PYTHAGORAS 

Pythagoras is considered to be one of the first mathematicians of the ancient world.He is credited to have invented the famous "PYTHAGORAS THEOREM" within trigonometry.Unlike most of the ancient theories it played a huge role in the development of geometry.Thus he could be remembered as the Father of modern mathematics.





9. ANDREW WILES

He is the last known man to live for the most well known proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.He told no any integer can satisfy the equation a^n+b^n=c^n except 2(which would make it Pythagoras Theorem).

8. SIR ISSAC NEWTON & WILHELM LEIBNIZ

The credit of the introduction of the modern infinitesimal calculus goes to both of them.Leibniz is thanked for giving the standard notation i.e.the integral notation.
But,nonetheless they both are genius to be said the least.               

7. LEONARDO PISANO BLOGROLL
   
 Known as Leonardo Fibonacci,is perhaps one of the greatest mathematicians of the middle ages.He is greatly credited for the introduction of the Arabic Number System,something he is forgotten for.It's only due to him that the Arabic maths has been developed and is considered as one of the major mathematicians of all times.

                                   

 
6. ALAN TURING

Computer Scientist & Crypt analyst is also supposed to be a great mathematician in the 20th century.He is also regarded as one of the first true computer scientists.
Worked for The Government code and Cypher School in Britain aiding in the cracking of The German Enigma Encryptions. He also worked on computer's artificial intelligence.




5. RENE DESCARTES

This genius needs no introduction.He alongside Newton & Leibniz also worked on the fundamentals of Calculus.He also invented Cartesian geometry which is helpful in the plotting of graphs(square line grids,X-axis,Y-axis etc.).He also introduced superscripts written in algebra to express powers.So no doubt,he is one of the greatest mathematicians of all times.

4. EUCLID

Known as the Father of Geometry and his magnum opus:Elements is one of his greatest mathematical works.He is also credited for his works in number Theory.Unfortunately,very little is known about his life.There are other five works of him which has sadly been lost throughout history.                                   

3. G.F.BERNHARD RIEMANN

He falls in the list of prominent mathematicians in the 19th century.The list of his contribution to geometry is large,to name a few:Riemannian Geometry,Riemannian integral,Riemannian Surfaces.





2. CARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS

Needless to say he is called 'THE PRINCE OF MATHEMATICS'.He went on to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra and also introduced Gaussian gravitational constant in physics before 24.He continued it for 77 years and led to the development of many outstanding discoveries.




1. LEONHARD EULER

If Gauss is the prince,Euler is the king.He is still regarded as the greatest mathematician to have ever walked on this planet.He introduced natural logarithm base 'e'(The Euler constant),function of x written generally as f(x),Greek letter sigma for summation,
'i' indicating complex imaginary number as well as pi indicating ratio of the circle's circumference to it's
diameter.



   
So guys!!hope you all will be very excited after knowing such things about the legends of Mathematics
