Pierre de Fermat’s analysis of numbers and his examining of the Diophantine equations remains the cornerstone for work done in later mathematical research in the 20th and 21st century, hundreds of years after his death.
A French lawyer at the Parlement of Toulouse, France, and a mathematician who is given credit for early developments that led to infinitesimal calculus, including his technique of adequality.
5. If you are a math lover, you will never forget the mathematical achievements of Greek antiquity. The most seminal and influential of all Greek mathematicians is Euclid. Euclid covered almost all areas of mathematics – such as algebra and plane geometry in his book- Elements. This book remain a staple in all graduate level mathematics classes and even after 2000 years of its creation, has been the centerpiece of geometry and its laws. Written in the year 300 BC, Euclid introduced a set of axioms that went around to demonstrate the mathematical exactitude of the theorems that follow naturally. Along with Pythagoras, Euclid remains the father of geometry in mathematics. From Dostoevsky to Albert Einstein, Euclid’s Elements remains a path breaking work in mathematics.
