FAMOUS
MATHEMATICIANS
LEONHARD EULER
Analysis
He discovered ways to express
various logarithmic functions using
power series, and he successfully
defined logarithms for negative and
complex numbers
He also defined the exponential
function for complex numbers, and
discovered its relation to the
trigonometric functions
EULER S FORMULA
For any real number x,
Eulers formula states
that the complex
exponential function
satisfies
Number theory
He contributed significantly to the
theory of perfect numbers, which
had fascinated mathematicians since
Euclid.
His prime number theorem and the
law of quadratic reciprocity are
regarded as fundamental theorems
of number theory.
Geometry
Euler (1765) showed that in any
triangle, the orthocenter,
circumcenter, centroid, and ninepoint center are collinear.
Because of that the line which
connects the points above is
called Euler line.
GABRIEL CRAMER
GABRIEL CRAMER
(1704-1752)
Swiss mathematician
He give the solution of St. Peterburg
paradox
He worked on analysis and
determinants
He is the most famous by his rule
(Cramers rule) which gives a
solution of a system of linear
equations using determinants.
THOMAS SIMPSON
THOMAS SIMPSON
(1710-1761)
PIERRE-SIMON LAPLACE
(1749-1827)
He is remembered
as one of the
greatest scientists
of all time,
sometimes referred
to as a French
Newton or Newton
of France
He became a count
of the First French
Empire in 1806 and
was named a
marquis in 1817
GASPARD MONGE
GASPARD MONGE
(1746-1818)
French mathematician also known as
Comte de Pluse
Monge is considered the father of
differential geometry because of his
work Application de l'analyse la
gomtrie where he introduced the
concept of lines of curvature of a
surface in 3-space.
