3. FAMOUS MATHEMATICIANS
 Mathematics is a field that many people shy away
from, but there are some who had a passion for
numbers and making discoveries regarding equations,
measurements, and other numerical solutions in
history.
 They looked for ways to understand the world as it
relates to numbers and their contributions have been
very important for their generation and beyond.
 Below is a list of names and accomplishments of the
greatest mathematicians of all time.

4. Aryabhata (c. 476 – c. 550)
Nationality: Indian
Famous For: Writing Āryabhaṭīya and
the Arya-siddhanta
Indian mathematician Aryabhatta’s
contribution include his work on
providing an approximate value to pi. He
likewise touched on the concepts of sine,
cosine, and the place-value system.

5. Archimedes (c. 287 – c. 212 BC)
Nationality: Greek
Famous For: Greatest mathematician of
antiquity
Archimedes provided principles and
methods used in mathematics today. He
provided the exact numerical value of pi,
developed a system for large numbers to
be expressed, and the method of
exhaustion.

6. Euclid (c. 365 – c. 275 BC)
Nationality: Greek
Famous For: Father of geometry
The earliest known “math books” is one
written by Greek mathematician Euclid,
Elements is its title. It serve as a
textbook to teach geometry and
mathematics. His mathematical system
is known as “Euclidean geometry.”

7. Omar Khayyám (1048-1131)
Nationality: Persian
Famous For: Treatise on Demonstration
of Problems of Algebra
Omar Khayyam wrote one of the most
important books in mathematics, Treatise
on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra
from which most algebraic principles have
been drawn from. In the area of geometry,
Khayyam worked on the “theory of
proportions.”

8. Pythagoras (c. 570 – c. 495 BC)
Nationality: Greek
Famous For: Pythagorean theorem
Pythagoras is best known in
mathematics for the Pythagorean
Theorem.

9. Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920)
Nationality: Indian
Famous For: Landau-Ramanujan
constant
Ramanujan was a genius in mathematics.
He helped expand mathematical theory,
particularly in continued fractions,
infinite series, mathematical analysis,
and number theory. He conducted
mathematical research in seclusion.
