Augustus De Morgan was known as a British mathematician and logician. He is known for creating De Morgan’s Laws and showing us the term mathematical induction. He also has a crater on the moon named after him. Augustus De Morgan was born on June 27‚ 1806 in Madras‚ India. His father was named Colonel John De Morgan‚ and he was employed by the East India Company ’s service. Just a few months after Augustus was born‚ he became blind in one eye. At seven months old‚ his father moved the family to

the better‚ though sometimes for the worse. Galileo‚ Italian physicist‚ mathematician and astronomer‚ showed his humanity by rejecting Church teaching on the centrality of the Earth in the universe. Instead he championed Heliocentrism‚ the notion that placed the sun‚ and not the earth‚ at the center of the orbital paths of many observable bodies in outer space‚ a truth since validated by astronomers and mathematicians of his and later times. Galileo‚ by his disobedience‚ suffered ignominy for

In 18th century‚ Euler developed a formula to prove God’s existence. Leonhard Euler‚ a Swiss mathematician and physicist made important discoveries backed with infinitesimal calculus and graph theory proving existence of the heavens and God.

Brahe‚ Kepler‚ and Einstein made many major contributions to society‚ changing the way we viewed our universe forever. Many of these men’s accomplishments are still used to this day. Tycho Brahe was conceived on December 16‚ 1546 in Knudstrup‚ which presently is in southern Sweden yet was a piece of Denmark at the time. While going to the colleges of Copenhagen and Leipzig to study law and reasoning‚ he got to be keen on Astronomy and spent most nighttimes mulling over the stars. One of Tycho Brahe’s

Athens and Sparta were two of the most prominent city-states in Ancient Greece. Athens was distinguished as the center of wisdom and learning and Athenians were interested mostly in arts‚ music‚ and intellectual pursuits; however‚ Sparta was recognized for its military strength. The lives of the Spartans were dominated by the military‚ considered harsh‚ and focused on the physical development and assembling of adequate warriors who were capable of implementing the tactics needed to be used during

people discover more and more of the seemingly random numbers. Four of the people who proved pi are the Liu Hui‚ Archimedes of Syracuse‚ James Gregory‚ and the Bible. The first proof I will be talking about is Liu Hui’s. Liu Hui was a Chinese mathematician whose method for proving pi was to find the area of a polygon inscribed in a circle. When the number of sides on the inscribed polygon increased‚ its area became closer to the circumference of a circle and pi. For finding the side length of an

As Islam spread across the Mediterranean and the world‚ great mathematicians and scientists wrote works‚ treatises‚ compilations and many other documents describing their discoveries. Countless histories‚ biographies‚ and geographies were written in the Islamic Golden Age. A great deal of fiction was written throughout

until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher. He was an astronomer‚ merchant and mathematician‚ and after visiting Egypt he is said to have originated the science of deductive geometry. He also discovered theorems of elementary geometry and is said to have correctly predicted an eclipse of the sun. Many of his studies were in astronomy but

familiar subjects‚ such as lizards or birds‚ bring a unique sense of identification and curiosity. Instead of depicting only mathematical structures or influenced patterns‚ Escher brings common life elements into his calculated planes. Fellow mathematicians enjoyed this aspect of the work as it gave a deeper point of reference in defining the spacial illusions. However‚ perhaps more impressive‚ this attracted the attention of the public ignorant to advanced math. These real life elements of his
