1, Pythagoras:
Pythagoras, an ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher, was born in a noble family on the Aegean island of Samos. He was smart and studious since childhood, and studied geometry, natural science and philosophy with famous teachers. He made outstanding contributions to number theory and geometry, especially the first discovery of Pythagorean theorem.
2.Hipatia:
Hipatia, 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.
