Srinivasa Ramanujan

taught complex mathematics in Indian schools and became one of the most

influential professors.

Pythagorean textbook,

'Elements', consolidated and advanced mathematical and geometrical theories and

knowledge of its era.

Pythagoreans believed

that numbers had mystical qualities and introduced heliocentric model of

Fibonacci and his

friend Leonardo of Pisa made great mathematical contributions.

The groundwork

Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi laid in developing algorithms serves as the

cornerstone of modern algebra.

Hypatia lived in

Alexandria in 4th Century AD and made mathematics a female-dominated field.

A lot of contemporary

scholars think that it might have been not one person, but a group of mathematicians

who published their findings under the name of Euclid.

The word algorithm

comes from the name of Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi.

Ramanujan attributed

his exceptional mathematical abilities to the guidance of the goddess Namagiri.

The theorem named after famous Greek

mathematician Pythagoras is used in geometry today.
