Contributions:
- Game Theory
- Differential Geometry
- partial differential equation
Award & Recognition:
- got Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994
- In 2015, he got Abel Prize for his work on nonlinear partial differential equations.
In 1959, Nash mental illness deteriorated and he spent several years at psychiatric hospitals being treated for paranoid schizophrenia. After 1970, his condition slowly improved and he returned to academic work by the mid-1980. His struggles with his illness and his recovery became the basis for Sylvia Nasar's biography, A Beautiful Mind, as well as a film of the same name starring Russell Crowe. On May 23, 2015, Nash and his wife, were killed in a car crash while riding in a taxi on the New Jersey.
2. Pythagoras of Samos (570BC - 495BC, Greek)
2. Pythagoras of Samos (570BC - 495BC, Greek)
Contributions:
- Pythagoras Theorem
- Number Theory
- Concept of geometrical figure (triangle, rectangle) and related theorem
3. Andrew Wiles (1953-till today, Great Britain)
Contributions:
He provided proof of Fermat’s last theorem. No positive integers, a, b and c can satisfy the equation a^n+b^n=c^n For n greater then 2. (If n=2 it is the Pythagoras Formula).
4. Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
Contributions:
- Inventor of calculus
- Binomial Theorem
5. Leonardo Pisano Blgollo (1170-1250)
Blgollo is also known as Leonardo Fibonacci.
Contributions:
- Fibonacci Series
- Introduction of the Arabic numbering system
6. Alan Turing (1912-1954)
He is regarded as one of the greatest mind of 20th Century. He was computer scientist and crypt-analyst. He has written many brilliant papers that are still relevant today.
Contributions:
- Formulated the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer
- Considered the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence
- He developed Cartesian Geometry.
- He is considered father of geometry.
The list of contributions to geometry are large, and he has a wide range of theorems bearing his name. To name just a few: Riemannian Geometry, Riemannian Surfaces and the Riemann Integral. However, he is perhaps most famous (or infamous) for his legendarily difficult Riemann Hypothesis; an extremely complex problem on the matter of the distributions of prime numbers.
- He introduced Gaussian gravitational constant in physics.
11. Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783)
he is regarded as the greatest mathematician to have ever walked this planet. In his day he was ground breaking and on par with Einstein in genius.
