Klein Fuchs Minkowski Hilbert's first work was on invariant theory and, in 1888, he proved his famous Basis Theorem. Twenty years earlier Gordan had proved the finite basis theorem for binary forms using a highly computational approach. Attempts to generalise Gordan 's work to systems with more than two variables failed since the computational difficulties were too great. Hilbert himself tried at first to follow Gordan 's approach but soon realised that a new line of attack was necessary. He discovered a completely new approach which proved the finite basis theorem for any number of variables but in an entirely abstract way. Although he proved that a finite basis existed his methods did not construct such a basis. Hilbert submitted a paper proving the finite basis theorem to Mathematische Annalen.

Search Subject Index MathMap Tour ... Help! ABOUT: Introduction History Related areas Subfields POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 01: History and biography Introduction Formal studies in the history of mathematics developed much more slowly than studies in mathematics itself. There is a particular difficulty in that those who are well trained in historical analysis are typically insufficiently versed in mathematics to be able to appreciate the subject at hand. This has left mathematicians to write their history, by and large, although they are usually untrained for that task. Nonetheless, the stories of the people involved in developing mathematics are often inspiring or informative. A sense of what motivated mathematicians to pursue their key ideas helps put the importance of those results into a better context. Thus the study of the history of mathematics and its proponents includes several well-developed parts. The development of comparatively simple mathematics (through the calculus, for example) is now well documented, principally as part of the study of the development of scientific ideas in distinct human cultures through the 18th century. The development of mathematics in the last couple of centuries is instead more frequently studied thematically that is, the worldwide development of algebra, or statistics, say or through the lives of individual mathematicians. No attempt will be made to summarize the development of abstract and applied mathematics during this last few centuries; see the resources below. Some historical comments are included in the index pages for the separate disciplines.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Branch of Science Physicists ... English Newton, Isaac (1642-1727) English physicist and mathematician who was born into a poor farming family. Luckily for humanity, Newton was not a good farmer, and was sent to Cambridge to study to become a preacher. At Cambridge, Newton studied mathematics, being especially strongly influenced by Euclid , although he was also influenced by Baconian and Cartesian philosophies. Newton was forced to leave Cambridge when it was closed because of the plague, and it was during this period that he made some of his most significant discoveries. With the reticence he was to show later in life, Newton did not, however, publish his results. Newton suffered a mental breakdown in 1675 and was still recovering through 1679. In response to a letter from Hooke , he suggested that a particle, if released, would spiral in to the center of the Earth Hooke wrote back, claiming that the path would not be a spiral, but an ellipse Newton, who hated being bested, then proceeded to work out the mathematics of orbits. Again, he did not publish his calculations. Newton then began devoting his efforts to theological speculation and put the calculations on elliptical motion aside, telling Halley he had lost them (Westfall 1993, p. 403).

On this page: Scientist Dictionary Encyclopedia WordNet Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Carl Friedrich Gauss Scientist Gauss, (Johann) Karl Friedrich (Johann) Karl Friedrich Gauss Library of Congress [b. Braunschweig, Germany, April 30, 1777, d. G¶ttingen, Germany, February 23 1855] Gauss is ranked with Archimedes and Newton as the greatest of mathematicians. At age 19 he constructed a regular polygon with 17 sides, the first major new construction since Greek times. In 1799 he provided the first proof that all equations formed by setting a polynomial equal to zero have a solution, the fundamental theorem of algebra. In 1801 he completely restructured number theory. An interest in surveying led to his 1827 theory that mathematically describes properties of surfaces. The asteroid Ceres was discovered in 1801, but astronomers soon lost the location of the dim body. Gauss invented a way to calculate the path of a planet from a few observations. When Ceres was found exactly where he predicted, his fame was ensured. Gauss was the first to establish a non-Euclidean geometry but he did not publish it. Other mathematicians soon rediscovered it. Gauss similarly discovered much of advanced calculus but failed to publish his results. It is said that his discoveries would have advanced mathematics by 50 years if announced when made. Gauss also studied Earth's magnetic field. He and a collaborator built a working telegraph more than a decade earlier than the 1843 system of Samuel F.B. Morse.

90. Maria Gaetana Agnesi She was not ambitious to become a wellknown mathematician. Maria GaetanaAgnesi in Dictionary of Scientific Biography, edited by CCGillispie, Vol. http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/agnesi.htm

Maria Gaetana Agnesi Written by Elif Unlu, Class of 1995 (Agnes Scott College) Even though her contribution to mathematics are very important, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was not a typical famous mathematician. She led a quite simple life and she gave up mathematics very early. At first glance her life may seem to be boring, however, considering the circumstances in which she was raised, her accomplishments to mathematics are glorious. Enjoy! During the Middle Ages, under the influence of Christendom, many European countries were opposed to any form of higher education for females. Women were mostly deprived from the fundamental elements of education, such as reading and writing, claiming that these were a source of temptation and sin. For the most part, learning was confined to monasteries and nunneries which constituted the only opportunity for education open to girls during the Middle Ages. After the fall of Constantinople (today Istanbul), many scholars migrated to Rome, bringing Europe knowledge and critical thinking, which in turn gave rise to the Renaissance. However, except in Italy, the status of women throughout Europe changed very slowly. In Italy, however, where the Renaissance had its origin, women made their mark on the academic world. Intellectual women were admired by men, they were never ridiculed for being intellectual and educated. This attitude enabled Italian women to participate in arts, medicine, literature, and mathematics. Among many others, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was by far the most important and extraordinary figure in mathematics during the 18th century.

The book is organized by grouping the Hubert problems by area, with the most elaborate treatment devoted to subjects that can be made accessible to a general reader or to subjects worked on by particularly interesting mathematicians. There is less material about Hubert himself than is contained in Gray's book, and no critical opinions about Hubert are expressed. For instance, Hubert's removal of Brouwer from the Editorial Board of Mathematische Annalen is noted with no discussion of how this represented a dubious triumph for Hubert's formalism over Brouwer's intuitionism. There is the occasional mathematical error (for instance, turning an infinite series into a finite series on page 172), but overall the book is very carefully written and edited.

Noether's doctoral thesis followed this constructive approach of Gordan and listed systems of 331 covariant forms.

As well as his violin lessons, which he had from age six to age thirteen, he also had religious education at home where he was taught Judaism. Two years later he entered the Luitpold Gymnasium and after this his religious education was given at school. He studied mathematics, in particular the calculus, beginning around 1891. Following the failing of the entrance exam to the ETH, Einstein attended secondary school at Aarau planning to use this route to enter the ETH in Zurich. While at Aarau he wrote an essay (for which was only given a little above half marks!) in which he wrote of his plans for the future, see [13]:- If I were to have the good fortune to pass my examinations, I would go to Zurich. I would stay there for four years in order to study mathematics and physics. I imagine myself becoming a teacher in those branches of the natural sciences, choosing the theoretical part of them. Here are the reasons which lead me to this plan. Above all, it is my disposition for abstract and mathematical thought, and my lack of imagination and practical ability. Indeed Einstein succeeded with his plan graduating in 1900 as a teacher of mathematics and physics. One of his friends at ETH was Marcel

Garrett was educated at home until he was eight years old when he began to attend school. This first school was a public grammar school (public school here is the American meaning so is the opposite of a private school) which he attended for three years then, rather than enter high school at this young age, he spent a year enjoying himself playing sports and maturing before entering Browne and Nichols school at the age of twelve. Unlike his first school, Browne and Nichols was a private school. At Browne and Nichols high school he had an excellent mathematics teacher in Harry Gaylord who had written a textbook with . Again, as at his primary school, Garrett progressed very rapidly and despite going to Europe with his parents during his third year of study he was still ready to take the examinations a year early. His parents had encouraged him to do this because they were going on a major year long tour and so, after passing the examinations, Garrett attended a boarding school at Lake Placid for a year, spending much time on sport, before he entered Harvard University in 1928.
