Mathematician

In a small town of 1,000 people called Peanut in the state of Iowa, there is a girl the age of 19. Her name is Beth Rose; she is very intelligent, kind, and curious about the world. Beth wants to go to college and live her dream to become a mathematician but there is some obstacles she has to accomplish first. It is currently the year of 1962, the era where women have no rights in the world. Women cannot vote, have minimal rights, they are not allowed in many Ivy League colleges, are not allowed…

My mathematician is Archimedes he was born in two hundred twelve BC and died in two hundred eighty seven BC. Born in Syracuse , Sicily not only was he a mathematician but a physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. Archimedes was killed by a roman soldier in Siege Syracuse. Although his life is not very detailed there is some things we know about him. He is considered one of the leading scientist in classical antiquity as well as the greatest mathematician in antiquity. A biography was…

one of the few works that examines this space. Anecdotally we know of several mathematicians who were geniuses but also struggled with mental health issues. The most famous of these were John Nash, the Princeton based mathematician, who struggled with Schizophrenia and has been immortalized on film in A Beautiful Mind. Another well know mathematician was Srinivasa Ramanujan, arguably one of the greatest mathematicians of his time, who also struggled with mental health issues and passed away…

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade” (Kennedy qtd in Space Race). On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the moon. (Race to the Moon). The accomplishments of landing on the moon, building bomb shelters, and passing education acts all contributed to the idea that America, as a whole, reacted in many different ways. Fear, excitement, happiness, and relief all shined through the dark smoky clouds of the space race. Although the Soviet Union continually surpassed the U…

Archimedes was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, engineer and inventor. Archimedes was the first big mathematician, as well as consider the best mathematician of that era. Archimedes was born in the Greek city-state of Syracuse. His father, Phidias, was an astronomer. The fact that his father was an astronomer made him motivated to do all the inventions he did. He was really close to King Hieron and his son, Gelon. He worked for them, when he lived in Alexandria. He invented the sciences…

often considered the bane of the average high school students’ existence. This cursed class has its origins back in ancient times. In fact, the mathematician who is often called the first “true” mathematician lived approximately from 570-495 BC. He was none other than the mysterious Pythagoras of Samos. Pythagoras is one of the most famous mathematicians of all time, and yet we know very little about his life. Most of the…

programmer but was not as good as the daughter she had raised alone. Ada’s mom gained sole custody of her right after she was born because Lady Byron was afraid Ada would not want to be a mathematician when she grew up but want to be a poet like her father. However fortunate Ada did grow up to be both a mathematician and scientist, although Ada’s mom did force her to be those because when Ada was in her thirties she wrote to her mom wishing she would have let her enjoy the arts her father found…

David Hilbert was a world renown mathematician. He was known for his discoveries of the invarient theory and the axiomatization of geometry. One of the many known ideas that he helped formulate was the cornerstomne of the the amazing functional analysis. Hilbert made great contributions to the mathematic fields in Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. Hilbert also published these mathematical problems called Hilberts Problems. These were decade defining as they were unsolved mathematical problems.…

work got recognized she won. Two NASA Group Achievement Awards in 1967 and 1970.(Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson) She also won special achievement awards in 1970, 1980, and 1985. She retired in 1992. The National Technical Association named her Mathematician of the Year in 1997.(R) Katherine Johnson was kind of important part of the civil rights moments because she is the one out of probably million slaves that got a job as teacher then she start doing a project on the B-17 bomber and she did…

and Allison Schroeder, based on a non-fiction book about three black female mathematicians who work at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during the space race. The film also based on the true story of brilliant African-American black women. The film published on December 25th, 2016, and it's was American biological drama film. The main actor is Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Goble Johnson, a mathematician who calculated flight trajectory for Project Mercury and other…
