The French philosopher and scholar, Rene Descartes, was
well-known for his method of expressing geometric
shapes in the form of algebraic equation. It was because
of Rene Descartes that we got introduced to the beautiful
branch of co-ordinate geometr. The !artesian
coordinates, in fact, refer to his name. "esides this, Renehas contributed significantl in the field of optics and
energ conser#ation

%ir Isaac &ewton was one of the greatestcontributors in the field of maths and phsics.
'is works are spread in almost e#er field. 'e
de#eloped !alculus, both differential and
integral, that are still the most important aspects
of higher mathematics. (sing !alculus, he made
it easier to find the area bounded b closed
cur#es. In phsics, his most world-changing
work was the disco#er of existence of
gra#itational force in our surrounding.

to be one of the first great mathematicians. 1i#ing around
234 to 562 "!, in modern da /reece, he is known to
ha#e founded the thagorean cult, who were noted b
+ristotle to be one of the first groups to acti#el stud and
ad#ance mathematics. 'e is also commonl credited with
the thagorean Theorem within trigonometr. 'owe#er,some sources doubt that is was him who constructed the
proof 7%ome attribute it to his students, or "audhaana,
who li#ed some 844 ears earlier in India9.

Andrew Wiles
The only currently living mathematician onthis list, Andrew Wiles is most well known for
his proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem: That no
positive integers, a, b and c can satisfy the
euation a!n"b!n#c!n For n greater then $%
&'f n#$ it is the (ythagoras Formula)% Although
the contributions to math are not, perhaps, asgrand as other on this list, he did *invent’
large portions of new mathematics for his
proof of the theorem%

Isaac &ewton and :ilhelm 1eibni$
' have placed these two together as
they are both often given the honor of
being the *inventor’ of modern
in+nitesimal calculus, and as such
have both made monolithic
contributions to the +eld% To start,
Leibni is often given the credit for
introducing modern standard notation,
notably the integral sign%

Alan Turing
4omputer 2cientist and 4ryptanalyst Alan
Turing is regarded my many, if not most,
to be one of the greatest minds of the
$0th 4entury% 5aving worked in the
6overnment 4ode and 4ypher 2chool in
-ritain during the second world war, he
made signi+cant discoveries and createdground breaking methods of code
