3 Mathematicians

• By Elizabeth Dotson

Sir Issac Newton

• Born in (1642-1727) England
• He solved the Delian cube-doubling problem,
  before the invention of the calculus variations.
• He developed many theorems, he proved several
  about quadrilaterals and their in-or
  circumscribing ellipses, and constructed the
  parabola defined by four given points.

Sir. Issac Newton

• Newton was a very smart man, who built many well
  known inventions, such as the windmill that was
  powered by a mouse on a treadmill.
• At the age of 22, he left the University and
  began the revolutionary advances in mathematics,
  optics, dynamics, thermodynamics, acoustics and
  celestial mechanics.
• Newton is also famous for the Three Laws of
  Motion.

Sir Issac Newton

• Newton ranks 2 on Michael Hart's most famous
  list of the Most Influential Person's in History.
  Newton would certainly rank as well first on any
  list of physicists, or scientists in general.
• Newton once wroteTruth is ever to be found in
  simplicity, and not in multiplicity and confusion
  of things.
• Newton was buried at Westminster Abbey.

Archimedes

• Born in (287-212 BC) Greek domain
• Archimedes is known to be the greatest of ancient
  mathematicians.
• He studied at Euclid's school, and his
  achievements are very impressive given the lack
  of good mathematical technology and knowledge.

7
Archimedes

• Archimedes made advances in number theory,
  algebra, and analysis, but is the most renowned
  for his many theorems of plane and solid
  geometry.
• He was also the first to prove Heron's formula
  for the area of the triangle.
• One of his most remarkable and famous geometric
  results was determining the area of parabolic
  section, which he offered two independent proofs,
  one using his Principle of the Lever, the other
  using geometric series.

Archimedes

• Some of Archimedes greatest writings are
  preserved on a palimpsest which has been
  rediscovered and properly studied only since
  1998.
• Archimedes discovered formulae for the volume and
  surface area of a sphere, and may even have even
  been the first to notice and prove the simple
  relation of the circle's circumference and area.

Maria Gaetana Agnesi

• 18th century mathematician
• She was the oldest of 21 children born into the
  family of Pietro Angesi.
• The Agnesi family was well to do family in Milan,
  Italy in the 18th century. Her family came from a
  merchant class family and made their money in
  cloth goods.

Maria Gaetana Agnesi

• Her and her sister were regularly put on display
  in the salon of their family home. She was adept
  at discussing philosophy as well as the sciences
  and mathematics.
• When she got older, one of her responsibilities
  was to tutor her younger brothers in
  mathematics.She had a passion for scholarships
  including mathematics and had absorbed works by
  Newton.

12
Maria Gaetana

• Maria had previously published Propsitiones
  Philosophicae a volume of about 200 essays on
  various topics about her father's conversations.
• She is also known for Analytical Institutions. It
  is the earliest math text ever written by a woman
  and translated into English and French for the
  use as a textbook.

13
Maria Gaetana

• After Maria's father died in 1752. He had left
  the family in a lot of debt, and most of their
  possessions had to sold to cover it. This changed
  Maria's Gaetena lifestyle and set her free to
  purse her passion and happiness.
• Maria died in 1799, she gave selflessly to
  others, she worked with the ill and homeless
  people of Milan with what time she had left.
