Eighteenth century was full of great mathematicians, many of whom were disciple of either Newton or Leibniz. The most important mathematicians from the early half of the century came from one family the Bernoulli’s, and particularly two brothers Jacob and Johnathan. The middle of the century was dominated by Leonhard Euler. He made numerous discoveries that would change the landscape of mathematics forever, and today he is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. In the ladder…

related at all? For some, mathematics is simply rules, laws, and axioms that are used to make sense of problems. For others mathematics is the language God used to create universe in its entirety. Either way, certain questions continue to puzzle mathematicians such as: are mathematics invented by human minds to unlock the many mysteries of the world, or are these mathematical truths embedded in God’s nature and henceforth used in the creation of the world? Throughout history many theories…

Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace is best known as Ada Lovelace, a mathematician and the world’s first computer programmer. She was born on December 10, 1815 in Middlesex, England to wealthy, educated parents.

Ada was the only legitimate child of Lord Byron. However, she is said to have been abandoned her father and unfortunately, she…

Mathematicians of antiquity were concerned with the measurement of angles in the skies, and the geometry invented to deal with this problem was called spherics and was studied as part of the quadrivium of study [1]. While spherics became elliptic geometry, trigonometry…

Many of the works of Greek mathematicians such Archimedes Euclid and Plato have fueled the formation of the most important Greek mathematical traditions of the early centuries till this day. There are two traditions of mathematics presented by Greek mathematicians: Practical mathematics and theoretical mathematics or better called abstract. These two fields differ so vastly from one another as they must be viewed separately in order to learn them. Early mathematicians from the 4th Century…

The Imitation Game and mathematician stereotypes The Imitation Game was produced in 2014 and was directed by Morten Tyldum. It was set during the Second World War and it was based on a true story of Alan Turing, the genius mathematician that cracked Nazi codes, including Enigma, which was thought to be unbreakable. Turing loved codes and ciphers, which is a very hard category to enjoy and understand. The movie depicted Turing as mentally ill, having no sense of humor, and being disrespectful,…
