One mathematician that I discovered is Hypatia of Alexandria. Hypatia was born in C.355CE and lived in Alexandria. Hypatia lived in a very turbulent era in Alexandria’s history, she was the first woman to make a substantial contribution to the development of the mathematics and is daughter of Theon. She was also killed by a fanatical Christian sect. What did Hypatia teach? Hypatia was the earliest female mathematician, astronomer, and a philosopher and was also the first woman to…

Do you know who some of the famous black mathematicians were ? As you know there are several great mathematicians who were known for what they did back then . This African American women was the first to receive a doctorate in mathematics. She was also noted as a noted mathematics educator . She was at the age of sixty- five when she passed away . The name of this…

The Famous Black Mathematician i am working on is Scott W.Williams. Scott Williams was born April 22,1943. His mother took him to Boston,when he was 12 years old. His father was the first Black to earn a Ph.D. The college Scott Williams went was Lehigh University. He got his MS and BS in 1967 and 1969. His interest is in teaching. Scott W. williams is a professor of mathematics at the university at Buffalo Suny. He was raised in Baltimore,Maryland. Williams failed to get a scholarship to MIT. So…

Famous Black Mathematician Research Paper By: Ilyas Crawford Scott W. Williams Born April 22, 1943 in Staten Island, New York During his early youth Scott W. Williams was raised in Baltimore by an academically orientated family. His family was involved in many things like the civil rights movement, African American history, and music all of his uncles and aunts had graduated college with at least one degree. His father Roger Williams served in the military but was one of the first blacks…

In his book, The Joy of Pi, David Blatner, the author of fifteen books on various subjects, attempts to explain why mathematicians continue to approximate pi to this day. He believes that they continue to do so because it poses a challenge, and it is in human nature to conquer that challenge. He tries to relay this belief to his readers through a number of different methods including, a history of pi, explaining why pi is fascinating, and how pi appears in the natural world. His writing style,…

became (NASA) December of 1943. Dorothy made important contributions to the early years of the U.S. space program and was the first African American manager at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. As a group of African American female mathematicians who were considered “human computers” performing complex computations and getting data for aerospace engineers. Dorothy Johnson was responsible for calculating mathematical computations for engineers conducting aeronautical experiments in…

Abstract—The idea of Riemann integration is now popular and very helpful in mathematics. In this paper we explore the background of mathematicians Henri Lebesgue, Peter Gustav Lejeune-Dirichlet and Bernhard Riemann. We discover some of their contributions to mathematics and how they all contributed to this famous concept of Riemann integration. Index Terms— Bernhard Riemann, Henri Lebesgue, Peter Gustav Lejeune-Dirichlet, Riemann integration I. INTRODUCTION Even though the idea of calculus…

PBL Blended Career Activity Mathematician Individual Group Work: Description of Career: Mathematicians conduct research to develop their understanding of mathematical principles, and through this, they can apply mathematical techniques to everyday world problems in order to come up with alternative ways to solve those problems which eventually lead to a new solution that can possibly benefit you and the world around you. Mathematics are used everyday, no matter the career, whether it be in…

accomplishments come from devising. An important part of the future is the job I hope to be apart of. I desire to become a mathematician one day because it is not a typical job, I aspire to be successful, and I find the subject itself enjoyable. Have you ever heard that there aren’t enough mathematicians? I have, and it is legitimate. Less than 3,000 people are employed as mathematicians today. In my opinion, this make it easier for people to pursue this option. Employers of this career are on…

civilization in mathematics. The invention was discovered by a mathematician named Euclid. He had many math theorems of his own, and later wrote his own book. The Elements contained all the works from previous Greek mathematicians, but Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could fit into a comprehensive deductive and logical system. The discovery was founded in Alexandria, by Euclid around 300 BC. For more than 2000 years, mathematicians across the globe have been…
