Emmy Noether is a well-known mathematician, she was born in Erlangen, Germany on March 23, 1882 and died on April 14, 1935. Her father was the one who raised her; his name was Max Noether and he was a professor in mathematics which is how she became interested in math. She attended classes but was never allowed credit for them she was only able to observe because she was a lady. She did end up graduating from college in Hohere Tochter Schule in Erlangen and was finally able to teach. When she…

He was a highly regarded German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. Before his death, Regiomontanus published an almanac containing astronomical tables covering the years 1475-1506. Regiomontanus'almanac turned out to be of great value, for his astronomical tables provided detailed…

It is an indisputable fact that women have had a huge impact on science in America over the years. Such influential women include Genevieve Grotjan, a codebreaker from World War II, and Katherine Johnson, a calculator for NASA for almost three and a half decades following 1953. Both women found extreme success in their fields, and respectively made huge contributions to cryptology and the math behind space launches. To begin with, Genevieve Grotjan was a fantastic help to the United States’s…

Hidden Figures is the story of three genius African American women who worked at NASA during 1961; their names were Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. These three women were the brains behind the launch of astronaut John Glenn into space and helping him to arrive at the moon. While these women were helping America win the Space Race, they paved the way for many other minorities of women to gain many job opportunities and advocate for the minorities in America. They paved the…

Often described as being “one of the greatest names in the history of human thought,” Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, scientist, and mathematician (Domski 1). His discoveries dealing with optics, gravity, and math greatly influenced the world and the effects are lasting still today. Sir Isaac Newton, though widely remembered for his mathematics and scientific accomplishments, was a man of God, whose faith can clearly be seen throughout his life. Newton was born on Christmas day in…

design. This highlights the incredible skill of the Romans. The Pantheon is a beautiful temple made by the Romans which showed their culture and beliefs. The Roman numerals were the first set of numbers used for counting and arithmetic. Great mathematicians and inventors also used these symbols to create their inventions. Bound books were one of the most significant literature innovations created. They let people communicate by writing stories or notes to each other, and, one of the reasons it…

for centuries and has taken a huge leap toward our future. Technology has advanced so much to the point where everyone has high expectations for my generation of engineers. Alan Mathison Turing was a British pioneering computer scientist and a mathematician who has made major contributions in his time (Copeland). Over 70 years ago, Turing introduced the notion of machine that is universal. The central concept of the contemporary computers was based on his very ideas and contributions. In 1937,…

Brahmagupta and His Significant Discovery Brahmagupta was born in 598 in Rajasthan, India and he was an Indian astronomer that may not get all the credit he deserves. Being an orthodox Hindu, he was very interested in the Hindu yuga system that focused on the measurement of the ages of mankind. Even though he mostly devoted his time to Indian astronomy, Brahmagupta when writing his books implemented a great amount of mathematics. This was seen especially in his most famous work…

Vinci have given me the impression that everything that Leonardo is, can be proven through his work he did in his life time. Leonardo was an painting and sculpture artist as I’ve been given the impression through my sources in his early life. The Mathematician and inventor can be seen through his anatomy and industrial drawings. According to Cheryl Fox, she stated in her article on Leonardo’s Workshop that Leonardo also write poetry as a form of art (Fox…

Galileo Galilei was a famous Italian Polymath. He was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was the oldest of six children. His father was a musician and scholar. Galileo and his family moved to Florence, where Galileo started his education at the Camaldolese monastery in Vallombrosa, in 1574. He was a naturally very intelligent boy.
