Ten famous mathematicians
The top ten famous mathematicians are Archimedes, Gauss, Newton, Euler, Euclid, Poincare, Riemann, Descartes, Turing and Galois.

1, Archimedes

Archimedes, from 287 BC to 2 12 BC, was a great ancient Greek philosopher, encyclopedic scientist, mathematician, physicist, mechanic, founder of static mechanics and hydrostatics, and enjoyed the reputation of "father of mechanics". Archimedes, Gauss and Newton are listed as the three greatest mathematicians in the world. Archimedes once said, "Give me a fulcrum and I can pry up the whole earth."

2. Gaussian

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, 1777~ 1855, is a famous German mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geometer and geographer. Gauss made great achievements in his life, among which 1 10 named after himself is the most among mathematicians. He has made contributions to number theory, algebra, statistics, analysis and differential geometry, and is regarded as one of the most important mathematicians in the world, enjoying the reputation of "prince of mathematics".

3. Newton

Isaac newton, 1643~ 1727, president of the royal society, is a famous British physicist and is known as the "father of physics". Newton also made great achievements in the field of mathematics, mainly by establishing calculus alone.

4. Euler

Leonhard euler, 1707 ~ 1783, a Swiss mathematician and natural scientist, was one of the most outstanding figures in the field of mathematics in the18th century. He is the most prolific mathematician in the history of mathematics, writing more than 800 papers every year on average, and also writing a lot of textbooks on mechanics, analysis, geometry and variational methods, most of which have become classic works in the field of mathematics.

5. Euclid

Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician from about 330 BC to 275 BC, was called "the father of geometry". His most famous book, The Elements of Geometry, is the foundation of European mathematics and is widely regarded as the most successful textbook in history.

6. poincare

Henri poincare, 1854~ 19 12, French mathematician, celestial mechanic, mathematical physicist and philosopher of science. Poincare's research involves many fields, such as number theory, algebra, geometry, topology, celestial mechanics, mathematical physics, theory of multiple complex variables, philosophy of science and so on.

7.riemann

Bernhard Riemann, 1826~ 1866, a famous German mathematician, made important contributions to mathematical analysis and differential geometry, created Riemann geometry, and provided a mathematical basis for Einstein's general theory of relativity.

8.descartes

Rene descartes, 1596~ 1650, French philosopher, mathematician and physicist. He made an important contribution to the development of modern mathematics, and was known as the father of analytic geometry because he formulated the geometric coordinate system. He invented the coordinate system, one of the basic tools of modern mathematics, and combined geometry with algebra to create analytic geometry. At the same time, he also derived geometric formulas such as Descartes theorem, and the famous heart-shaped equation was also put forward by Descartes.

9.turing

Allen Mathison Turing, 19 12~ 1954, a British mathematician and logician, is known as the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. His famous Turing machine model laid the foundation of modern computer logic working mode.

10, Galois

Evariste Galois,1811~1832, a famous French mathematician, is the founder of group theory, a branch of modern mathematics. He thoroughly solved the problem of solving algebraic equations with roots by using group theory, and developed a set of theories about groups and fields, which people called Galois Theory, and called the "group" he created Galois Group.
