Mathematics is the game/play with
numbers.When we play a game with
numbers,that game is called
mathematics.It is the game of numbers
with some rules in it.It is these rules
which we have to learn for playing the
game.
- Leonhard Euler
Mathematics started its modernisation in the
hands of newton.Upto Newton,there were also
many noted mathematicians like
bhaskaracharya,aryabhatta,archimedes,pythago
ras,euclid,pierre de fermat who invented many
theorems on geometry/algebra but the essence
of mathematics in every aspects was felt with
the invention of calculus in hands of
newton,leibnitz and it was later modified by
reimann,gauss,dirichlet.
SIR ISAAC NEWTON
Contributed binomial theorem,differential
calculus,integral calculus.Recognised by
many as the first modern mathematician .
GOTTFRIED LEIBNITZ
Independently developed infinitesimal calculus (his
calculus notation is still used), also practical
calculating machine using binary system
(forerunner of the computer), solved linear
JACOB BERNOULLI/JOHAN BERNOULLI
Helped to consolidate infinitesimal calculus,
developed a technique for solving separable
differential equations, added a theory of
permutations and combinations to probability
LEONHARD EULER
Made important contributions in almost all fields
and found unexpected links between different
fields, proved numerous theorems, pioneered new
methods, standardized mathematical notation and
CARL FREDRICH GAUSS
Pattern in occurrence of prime numbers,
construction of heptadecagon, Fundamental
Theorem of Algebra, exposition of complex
numbers, least squares approximation method,
REIMANN
Non-Euclidean elliptic geometry, Riemann surfaces,
Riemannian geometry (differential geometry in
multiple dimensions), complex manifold theory,
zeta function, Riemann Hypothesis
CANTOR
Creator of set theory, rigorous treatment of the notion of
infinity and transfinite numbers, Cantor's theorem (which
implies the existence of an “infinity of infinities”)
GH HARDY(LEFT)
Progress toward solving Riemann hypothesis (proved infinitely many
zeroes on the critical line), encouraged new tradition of pure
mathematics in Britain, taxicab numbers
SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN(RIGHT)
Proved over 3,000 theorems, identities and
equations, including on highly composite numbers,
partition function and its asymptotics, and mock
theta functions
ramanujan eqn which hve evaluated the value of pi upto 7lac decimal places.
e^iπ+1=0
The most awkward eqn in the world consisting of the most strange no.s
0,1,e,i,π.
