exceptional women who have fought and continue to fight against societal norms that prevent women from achieving their goals. Emmy Noether is a Jewish and German mathematician who faced many challenges to become one of the most important mathematicians of all time. Albert Einstein said “In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians‚ Fräulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced...” (Einstein 1935). While Emmy Noether is not well known to the general

The transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straight-edge. In the 20th and 21st centuries‚ mathematicians and computer scientists discovered new approaches that – when combined with increasing computational power – extended the decimal representation of π to‚ as of late 2011‚ over 10 trillion (1013) digits.

The Babylonians could measure angles‚ and are believed to have invented the division of the cirle into 360º.[1] However‚ it was the Greeks who are seen as the original pioneers of trigonometry. A Greek mathematician‚ Euclid‚ who lived around 300 BC was an important figure in geometry and trigonometry. He is most renowned for Euclid’s Elements‚ a very careful study in proving more complex geometric properties from simpler principles. Although there is some

Adopting elements of mathematics from both the Egyptians and the Babylonians while researching and added their own works has lead to important theories and formulas used for all modern mathematics and science. Pythagoras was born in Samon Greece

Archimedes of Syracuse (287 BC – 212 BC) was a Greek mathematician‚ physicist‚ engineer‚ inventor‚ and astronomer. Archimedes is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time. He used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series‚ and gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi. He also defined the spiral bearing his name‚ formulae for the volumes of solids of revolution

Certainly many of the ideas which were previously thought to have been brilliant new conceptions due to European mathematicians of the sixteenth‚ seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are now known to have been developed by Arabic/Islamic mathematicians around four centuries earlier. In many respects the mathematics studied today is far closer in style to that of the Arabic/Islamic contribution than to that of the Greeks. There is
