All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem‚ which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry. The study of mathematics as a subject in its own right begins in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans‚ who coined the term "mathematics" from the ancient Greek μάθημα (mathema)‚ meaning "subject of instruction".

then-known perfect number‚ proved e to be irrational‚ proved that all even perfect numbers must have the Mersenne number form that Euclid had discovered 2000 years earlier‚ and much more. Euler was also first to prove several interesting theorems of geometry‚ including facts about the 9-point Feuerbach circle; relationships among a triangle’s altitudes‚ medians‚ and circumscribing and inscribing circles; and an expression for a tetrahedron’s area in terms of its sides. Euler was first to explore topology

(1921)‚ Time Magazine’s Person of the Century (1999) Einstein’s Contribution to Mathematics While Einstein was remembered for his contributions to physics‚ he also made contributions in mathematics. He contributed several equations to calculus and geometry‚ ten of which are called the Einstein Field Equations. He first published these equations in 1915. One of these equations demonstrates how stress-energy inflicts curvature of space-time. Born: Dec 25‚ 1642‚ in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth‚ Lincolnshire
