Famous mathmaticians

Discover the groundbreaking contributions of three renowned mathematicians: Emmy Noether, known for her profound impact on abstract algebra and theoretical physics; Isaac Newton, the father of classical mechanics and the reflecting telescope; and Aryabhatta, an influential figure in mathematics and astronomy from ancient India. Noether paved the way for women in mathematics despite societal challenges, Newton redefined our understanding of the universe, and Aryabhatta introduced crucial concepts like zero and sine. Explore their legacies and how they shaped the world of mathematics.

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

  6. Contributed to the binomial theorem • Worked with non-integer exponents • He was unorthodox Christian • He also served the British government

  7. 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

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

  9. He covered the following • Arithmetic • Algebra • Trigonometry • Fractions

  10. Quadratic equations • Table of sines • Spherical trigonometry • Continued fractions

  11. 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

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