#5 G. F. Bernhard Riemann
Hailing from a poor family, G. F. Bernhard Riemann was
born in 1826 and today even after his death his mathematical
contribution has paved way for new advancements in this particular
field. His vital role in bringing out Riemannian geometry, Riemannian
Surfaces and the Riemann Integral has made his name appear in the
records of top ten greatest Mathematicians of all time. He is also
remembered for his renownedly complex Riemann Hypothesis; an extremely
difficult problem on the matter of the distributions of prime numbers.
#4 Isaac Newton
The English Scientist cum Mathematician during his life
span from 25th December, 1642 – 20th March, 1727 has proved himself as
one of the greatest Mathematicians of all time since he had founded
“calculus”, an important branch of mathematics.
#3 Euclid
Known as the Father of Geometry, Euclid lived around 300
BC. Though very less is known about his life, he is still a familiar
face while talking about Elements, is one the greatest mathematical
works in history and logical proof for theorems and conjectures.
#2 Leonhard Euler
Living from 1707 to 1783, Leonhard Euler is another
great Mathematician who has earned reputation till date for the
shorthand trigonometric functions, the ‘e’ for the base of the natural
logarithm, the Greek letter Sigma, for summation and the letter ‘/i’ for
imaginary units and the symbol pi for the ratio of a circles
circumference to its diameter. Besides these he also carried on to
develop calculus, topology, number theory, analysis and graph theory and
many more.
#1 Carl Friedrich Gauss
Carl Friedrich Gauss’s name leads the list of top ten
greatest Mathematicians till date. Famous for several important
contributions like proving fundamental theorem of algebra, introducing
Gaussian gravitational constant in physics and wrote the incredible
Disquisitiones Arithmeticae even before he was 24 years have echoed down
through generations. The outstanding Mathematician lived for 77 years
and graduated from Collegium Carolinum, one of the most prestigious
mathematical universities of the time.
