Philosophy of mathematics

Holland. He was born on either February 8th, 1700 or January 29th, 1700. There is speculation as to when he was born. He died on March 17, 1782. Daniel Bernoulli worked in the fields of mathematics, physics, medicine, physiology, mechanics, astronomy, and oceanography. He isn’t very well known today, but his mathematics are still used today. When Daniel Bernoulli was born he lived in Groningen, Holland to escape massacre from the Catholics because he…

societies began with the Greeks. They Greeks have made many contributions to make their lives easier and these advances have also helped shape Western civilizations. The Greeks have spent their lives making contributions in many areas such as math, philosophy, and government. Many of the concepts in math that students learn in school is based on contributions made by Greek mathematicians.Euclid, a very famous mathematician, composed a book of his findings called Elements. This book was written…

Galilei made Mathematics and philosophy his profession, against his fathers thoughts that he should go into medicine. He emerged as the scientist who discovered four of jupiters moons. Without Galileo, we probably wouldn't have known that the speed an object falls is not proportional to its weight. Galileo was the oldest of Vincenzo Galileis children. He was sent to the university of piza to study medicine. Despite his fathers protests, Galileo made mathematical subjects and philosophy his…

Greece. His dad was a traveling merchant, so his mom had to raise his siblings and him by herself most of the time but Pythagoras did travel often with his dad. He was talented in mathematics and music at a young age. He then was educated under a man named Thales, who lived nearby, and under him he studied mathematics and astronomy. When he was twenty he traveled to Egypt and Babylonia to study…

knowledge in natural and mathematical sciences. He gathered around a group of like-minded people, mostly aristocrats, and created a secret circle. The members of the circle studied various issues of philosophy and mathematics. Based on their ideas, the Pythagoreans conducted research work in mathematics. They combine numbers and, giving them a mystical meaning, divide them into numbers of good - odd numbers; evil numbers: perfect - each of them equal to the sum of their divisors…

And died February 14, 1943 Gottingen Germany(Britannica.com) Hilbert background of childhood is he came from money. His father Otto was a reputable city judge and his mother Marla was interested in philosophy and astronomy(thefamouspeople.com) Since he was a child he excelled in mathematics and had interest in language. In 1872 he joined Friedrichskolleg Gymnasium, when he graduated he decided he was to stay close to home. In 1880 he enrolled at university of Konigsberg, He finished…

Cardano received his interest in mathematics. Cardano plays a huge role in mathematic history because of his journey to success. Cardano learned gambling strategies from his father. He used this method to make money and stay alive. He became far too addicted and realized how much time and money he had wasted. He had to change something…

One of the most important areas of mathematics that is taught and highly known today was founded by German mathematician Georg Cantor. Between the years 1874 and 1884 was when set theory came to be. Set theory can be known as sets that are collections of objects and any type of object can be collected into a set if it is relevant to mathematics. While making many important contributions to the mathematics world, Cantor discovered the set of real numbers is more numerous than the set of natural…

do well in school, but I did take an interest in mathematics and science. While at college, I studied physics and math. After graduating, I worked in a government office. Meanwhile, I continued studying physics on my own. Q: Which area of science did you work in? A: I was in Theoretical Physics. My research was related to Universal Physics and Quantum Physics. A Theoretical physicist has a job that combines observation with mathematics in order to create complex formulas that…

The story of Hypatia is what led her to her upcoming and how she made an impact to society. Her father Theon of Alexandria, Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus influenced her in like and learning to love and have a passion for mathematics and everything that came with it. In her time of A.D she was the only woman who made a big difference. Hypatia was a popular teacher of interesting topics. She drew attention to herself by being phenomenal at what she did. Her words embraced others as much as…
