discovered the binomial theorem. Introduced differentials and integral
calculus into probability theory. Experiments caused much discussion and
helped lead towards an understanding of probability.
discovered the fundamental principles of infinitesimal calculus and for
his method of notation for the differential and integral calculus. He never
thought of the derivative as a limit.
Most known for lectures on geometry. Issued an English version of Euclid’s
Elements. Developed new way of determining tangent lines to curves
and the areas.
He developed a theory of elasticity, the concept of limits, the definition
of derivative as the limit of the difference quotient, and the definition
of continuous functions.
also known as Lewis Carroll and wrote Alice in Wonderland. Wrote
many books on analytic geometry and plane geometry. He also worked on statistics
and voting theories.
He was very influential in the development of calculus and analytic geometry.
Many of his brilliant theorems were not proved when he introduced them,
but were later proved by other mathematicians.
He was a man who was cot only concerned with everyday problems, but also
problems for deep thinkers. He began work in algebra, arithmetic, and geometry.
Whiz kid, leading mathematician of early 1800’s. His journal is famous
and considered one of the most precious documents in the history of math.
During his career, Gauss did a little bit of everything.
She is the first woman mathematician to receive her doctorate. She presented
a theorem on partial differential equations and also dealt with the sciences.
She is considered to be very important for her work and as an intermediary
between Russian and European mathematics.
Modest mathematician who hated criticism. He was good with his hands as
well as his mind. He is most known for his laws of motion. He created integral
and differential calculus, and also dealt with colors and prisms.
His work led to a new branch of mathematics now called the calculus of
finite differences. Also Taylor’s Theorem which can be used to find sin
x, log (1+x), etc.
