Mathematics is one of the basic subjects taught in class. Some people may find it interesting, while others may find it boring. Bored people may avoid it, but they will find something interesting. They may pursue it in their future study and life and become some great mathematicians. This is a theoretical topic, sometimes it is difficult, and it needs full thinking to understand its concept. A good teacher is undoubtedly a plus item for your success in mathematics. It will teach you and guide you every step of the way. Mathematics is an important factor in understanding our universe. If we find it boring or pitiful, we still can't deny its importance.

Besides, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are our daily work. It is precisely because mathematics enables human beings to land on the moon, explore the secrets of DNA, generate electricity and invent computers. Without mathematics, we are nothing. Quantity, quality and time are the basic elements of life. Our day begins with math and ends with time. The microwave oven in the kitchen or the TV channel at home are all calculated by numbers. Life is also like mathematics, which emphasizes increasing friends, reducing enemies, increasing happiness and sharing sadness. Those who make all these things possible are called mathematicians. They have extensive knowledge in this field, and they have solved math problems well. There are some famous mathematicians in history, and their great work enables us to better understand the world and improve our life today. Their extraordinary works are always appreciated, and their discoveries and ideas help us to have satellites, mobile phones and cars in our lives. There are 10 greatest mathematicians here. This list is based on their love of mathematics, their contribution and eternal influence.

1, Archimedes Archimedes (287 BC-2 BC12), a great philosopher in ancient Greece, an encyclopedic scientist, mathematician, physicist, mechanic, the founder of static mechanics and hydrostatics, enjoys the reputation of "the 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." Archimedes established the basic principles of statics and hydrostatics. Several methods for finding the center of gravity of geometric figures are given, including the center of gravity of the figure surrounded by parabola and its parallel chords.

2. C.F. Gauss Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (1April 30, 777-1February 23, 855, at the age of 77), a Jew, is a famous German mathematician, physicist, astronomer and geodetic scientist, and one of the founders of modern mathematics. Gauss is regarded as one of the most important mathematicians in history and is known as the "prince of mathematics". Gauss ranks alongside Archimedes, Newton and Euler as the four greatest mathematicians in the world. He made great achievements in his life, with 1 10 achievements named after his name "Gauss", which is the highest among mathematicians.

3. Sir isaac newton isaac newton (1643 65438+1October 4-65438+March 3 1 0727), chairman of the Royal Society, a famous British physicist, is an encyclopedic "all-rounder" and author of Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and Optics. He described gravity and three laws of motion in the paper "Laws of Nature" published by 1687. These descriptions laid the scientific view of the physical world in the next three centuries and became the basis of modern engineering. By demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's law of planetary motion and his theory of gravity, he showed that the movements of ground objects and celestial bodies all follow the same natural law; It provides strong theoretical support for the sun-centered theory and promotes the scientific revolution.

4. leonhard euler leonhard euler (1April 70715 ~1September 783 18) is a Swiss mathematician and natural scientist. 1707 was born in Basel, Switzerland on April 5, and 1783 died in St. Petersburg, Russia on September 8. Euler was born in a priest's family and was influenced by his father since childhood. /kloc entered university of basel at the age of 0/3, graduated from university at the age of 0/5, and obtained a master's degree at the age of 0/6. Euler is one of the most outstanding figures in the field of mathematics in the18th century. He not only made contributions in the field of mathematics, but also pushed the whole mathematics into the field of physics. He is the most prolific mathematician in the history of mathematics, writing more than 800 pages of papers every year on average. He also wrote a large number of textbooks on mechanics, analysis, geometry and variational methods. Introduction to Differential Analysis, Principles of Differential Calculus and Principles of Integral Calculus have all become classic works in the field of mathematics.

5. rene descartes rene descartes was a French philosopher, writer, mathematician and physicist. As a response to his works, he is known as "the father of modern philosophy". The same is true of his contribution to mathematics. One of his most lasting contributions is Cartesian coordinate system or analytic geometry. He invented the method of expressing unknowns in equations in the form of X, Y, Z or A, B and C, and he also invented a standard concept to express exponents or powers. As the first mathematician to distribute algebraic bases in our system, his work is really remarkable. Newton and Leibniz's calculus are based on his research results, and he has also made contributions in the field of optics.

6. Hipatia (370 -4 15) was a Greek mathematician, philosopher and astronomer. Because she was engaged in the most difficult lectures and writings on mathematics and astronomy at that time, as well as her achievements in philosophy, she was called the first outstanding female mathematician and astronomer in history and the most outstanding female philosopher in ancient and modern times.

According to the data of later generations, she commented on Arithmetic by Diophantine, Theory of Conic Curves by Apollonius and Ptolemy's works, but none of them remained. From the letter her student Sinatas wrote to her, we can see her knowledge background: she belongs to Platonism-although we can only assume that she adopted Plotinus's theory (Plotinus was a Platonist in the third century A.D. and the founder of Neo-Platonism). In addition, there is a little evidence that Hipatia's most famous contribution to science is the invention of celestial observatories and hydrometers.

7. Conway (1937 65438+February 26th-) is a British mathematician. He has made outstanding contributions to group theory, Newell's conclusion, combinatorial game theory and coding. His "life game" was a sensation, not only played by ordinary people, but also by some famous mathematicians and computer experts. So he is called a "math player".

Conway was very interested in mathematics when he was young: at the age of four, his mother found him reciting the power of two; At the age of eleven, he took part in a middle school interview. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he replied that he wanted to be a mathematician in Cambridge. Later, Conway studied mathematics at Cambridge University and is now a professor at Princeton University.

8. perelman (1June 196613rd-) Russian mathematician. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, and it was a perfect score. This achievement has not been surpassed so far. He solved many famous mathematical problems, including Poincare conjecture and soul conjecture. Because of his seclusion in recent years, he is called a "mathematical hermit".

9. Tao Zhexuan (1975 July 17) is an Australian mathematician of Chinese descent. He has made outstanding contributions to number theory, combinatorial theory, harmonic analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations. He won the International Mathematical Olympiad gold medal before 13 years old, and this record has not been broken so far. Therefore, he is known as a "mathematical prodigy".

10. Gauss (1April 30, 777-1February 23, 855) was a German mathematician, physicist and astronomer. His achievements cover all fields of mathematics, and he has made pioneering contributions in number theory, non-Euclidean geometry, differential geometry, hypergeometric series, complex variable function theory, elliptic function theory and so on. He has the reputation of "Prince of Mathematics". In addition, he successfully calculated the trajectory of Ceres.
