1 + Famous mathmaticians By: Whitney Clifford

2 + Emmy Noether (1751-1920) Known for her contributions to abstract algebra Known for her contributions to theoretical physics Born in a Jewish family Her father was a mathematician originally planned to teach French or English

3 + Went to the university of Erlangen Worked at a mathematical institute for 7 years without pay. Her students where sometimes called “Noether boys” Moved to the U.S. in 1933

4 + In her time women where largely excluded in the math world She spent 4 years lecturing in math She underwent surgery for a cyst and died at the age of 53

5 +

6 + Isaac Newton (1581-1750) Famous physicist and mathematician Created the laws of motion Built the first practical reflecting telescope Studied at the Trinity collage

7 + Contributed to the binomial theorem Worked with non-integer exponents He was unorthodox Christian He also served the British government

8 + Dedicated most of his time to study alchemy Most of his work was published long after he died He changed scientists view point of the universe for the next 3 centuries

9 +

10 + Aryabhatta (400-1580) His birth place is uncertain He was Hindu Known for math and astronomy Based on older traditions Used angle measuring devices

11 + He covered the following - Arithmetic - Algebra - Trigonometry - Fractions

12 + - Quadratic equations - Table of sines - Spherical trigonometry - Continued fractions

13 + Direct details his work are known only from the Aryabhatiya. A lot of his works are lost Many documents had to be translated to English He made the place value system more easy to work with Started the use of zero in the numberline

14 + Aryabhata discussed the concept of sine in his work that means “half chord” n Aryabhatiya Aryabhata provided intelligent results for the use of cubes and squares He thought the sky rotated instead of the earth
