Four beasts of mathematics
Archimedes, the god of mathematics, Newton, the father of classical mechanics, Euler, the hero of mathematics, and Gauss, the prince of mathematics. In ancient Greece, mathematics had begun to sprout. A large number of mathematicians were born. The Greeks regarded rational numbers as an arithmetic continuum from the beginning, and mathematicians represented by Plato tried to establish a mathematical model based on numbers. However, the Pythagorean school discovered irrational numbers at this time, which triggered a mathematical crisis of more than 2,000 years. In order to avoid irrational numbers, ancient Greek mathematicians made a lot of efforts. Eudoxus of Pythagoras School directly declared the bankruptcy of establishing mathematical model based on numbers and established deductive system based on explicit axioms, which greatly promoted the development of geometry. Since then, geometry has become the mainstream of Greek mathematics. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Welcome to adopt my answer. Thank you.
