2. FAMOUS MATHEMATICIANS
WHO HAS A GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS
IN THE MATHEMATICS

3. ✓ His full name in Italian is Leonardo Pisano,
which means Leonardo of Pisa, because he
was born in Pisa, Italy around 1175.
✓ Shortened word for Latin term “Filius
Bonacci”, which stands for “ Son of
Bonaccio”.
✓ Discovered the sequence of numbers form
the set.
FIBONACCI

4. ✓ German mathematician and astronomer
known for his laws of planetary motion.
Three laws of planetary motion:
1) Planets move in orbits shaped like an
ellipse.
2) A line between a planet and the Sun
covers equal areas in equal times.
3) How long a planet takes to go around
the Sun is related to the radius of the
planet’s orbit.
