This document discusses several great mathematicians from history, including Archimedes, Euclid, René Descartes, Aryabhata, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Carl Gauss, Pythagoras, and Isaac Newton. It provides brief summaries of their major contributions and accomplishments in fields like geometry, calculus, number theory, trigonometry, and physics. Many of them made fundamental discoveries and advances that became foundations for later mathematical and scientific developments.

1. GREAT
MATHEMATICIANS
AROUND THE WORLD
BY: SAARA NAJEEM
CLASS:9A

2. ARCHIMEDES
THE GREATEST SCHOLAR OF THE ANCIENT
ERA,ARCHIMEDES MADE PHENOMENAL
CONTRIBUTION IN THE FIELD OF
MATHEMATICS.HIS WORKS INCLUDE FINDING
VARIOUS COMPUTATION TECHNIQUES TO
DETERMINE VOLUME AND AREA OF SEVERAL
SHAPES,INCLUDING THE CONIC SECTION.

3. EUCLID
EUCLID THE “FATHER OF GEOMETERY” WROTE
THE BOOK, “EUCLID’S ELEMENTS”.
WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE GREATEST
PIECE OF HISTORICAL WORKS IN
MATHEMATICS.THE BOOK IS DIVIDED INTO 13
PARTS AND IN IT EUCLID HAS DISCUSSED IN
DETAIL ABOUT GEOMETERY( WHAT IS NOW
CALLED EUCLIDEAN GEOMETERY). HIS WORKS
ARE ALSO WELL-KNOWN IN THE FIELDS OF
SPHERICAL GEOMETERY,CONIC SECTIONS, AND
NUMBER THEORY.

4. RENÉ DESCARTES
THE FRENCH PHILOSOPHER AND SCHOLAR,RENE
DECCARTES,WAS WELL KNOWN FOR HIS METHOD OF
EXPRESSING GEOMETRIC SHAPES IN THE FORM OF
ALGEBRAIC EQUATION. IT WAS BECAUSE OF RENE
DESCARTES THAT WE GOT INTRODUCED TO THE
BEAUTIFUL BRANCH OF CO-ORDINATE GEOMETRY. THE
CARTESIAN CO-ORDINATES,INFACT REFER TO HIS
NAME.BESIDES THIS,RENE HAS CONTRIBUTED
SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE FIELD OF OPTICS AND ENERY
CONSERVATION.

5. ARYABHATA
ARYABHATA THE GREATEST INDIAN SCHOLAR IN THE FIELD
OF MATH,HAS BEEN FAMOUS FOR HIS THEOREMS. AN
ASTRONOMICAL BODIES THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE
VERY ACCURATE IN TERMS OF MODERN CALCULATION
“ARYABHATIYA”. HIS ONLY WORK TO HAVE SURVIVED HAS
GIVEN THE WORLD INNUMERABLE THEOREMS AND
RESEARCH SUBJECTS.HIS TWO OTHER MAJOR
CONTRIBUTIONS ARE THE INTRODUCTION OF ZERO TO THE
WORLD AND CALCULATING THE APPROXIMATE VALUE OF
“PI”. HIS WORKS ARE ALSO SPREAD IN THE FIELDS,LIKE
ALGEBRA,ARITHMETIC AND TRIGNOMETRY.

6. SRINIVAS RAMANUJAN
SRINIVAS RAMANUJAN,THE GREATEST INDIAN MATHEMATICIAN
OF 20TH CENTURY,CONTRIBUTED IMMENSELY IN THE FIELDS
LIKE NUMBER THEORY,MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS , STRING
THEORY, AND CRYSTALLOGRAPHY.HIS GENIUS HAS BEEN
ADMIRED BY SOME GREATEST CONTEMPORARIES OF HIS TIME.
HE IS HAILED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS IN THE FIELD
OF NUMBER THEORY. ALTHOUGH HE LIVED FOR A SHORT SPAN
OF 32 YEARS, HE COMPILED NEARLY 3900 PHENOMENAL
RESULTS THAT LEAVE EVEN THE BEST MATHEMATICAL BRAINS
OF TODAY .

7. CARL F.GAUSS
CARL F.GAUSS, A GERMAN EXPERT,KNOWN AS PRINCEPS
MATHEMATIRCORUM MEANING,”THE PRINCE OF
MATHEMATICIANS” OR “THE FOREMOST OF
MATHEMATICIAN” WAS A CHILD PRODIGY AND A GENIUS.
CARL F. GAUSS MADE PATH BREAKING CONTRIBUTONS IN
FIELDS LIKE SET THEORY,STATISTICS, DIFFRENTIAL
ANALYSIS,GEOPHYSICS,ELECTROSTATISTICS,NUMBER
THEORY AND ASTRONOMY.HE PROVIDED THE
FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA .

8. PYTHAGORAS
THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER KNOWN AS “ THE FATHER OF
NUMBER” IS FAMOUS FOR THE DISCOVERY OF
PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM FORMULA,WHICH STATES
THAT IN A RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE , THE SQUARE ON
THE HYPOTENUSE IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE
SQUARES ON THE OTHER TWO SIDES.

9. ISAAC NEWTON
SIR ISAAC NEWTON WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST
CONTRIBUTION IN THE FIELD OF MATH AND
PHYSICS.HIS WORKS ARE SPREAD IN ALMOST
EVERY FIELD.HE DEVELOPED CALCULUS,BOTH
DIFFRENTIAL AND INTEGRAL,THAT ARE STILL THE
MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF HIGHER
MATHEMATICS. USING CALCULUS,HE MADE IT
EASIER TO FIND THE AREA BOUNDED BY CLOSED
CURVES.
