Algebra I Renaissance Era Geometry Industrial Era 1736 – 1856 Algebra II Modern Era 1860 – Present

JOSEPH LAGRANGE (JANUARY 5, APRIL 10, 1813) Lagrange was an Italian Enlightenment Era mathematician and astronomer. He made significant contributions to the fields of analysis, number theory, and both classical and celestial mechanics.

PIERRE-SIMON LAPLACE (MARCH 23, 1749 – MARCH 5, 1827) Laplace was a French mathematician and astronomer whose work was pivotal to the development of mathematical astronomy and statistics. He was one of the first scientists to suggest the existence of black holes and the notion of gravitational collapse. He also questioned the theory on the origin of the solar system.

WILLIAM PLAYFAIR (SEPTEMBER 22, 1759 – FEBRUARY 11, 1823) William Playfair was a Scottish engineer and political economist, the founder of graphical methods of statistics. He invented four types of diagrams: in 1786 the line graph and bar chart of economic data and in 1801 the pie chart and circle graph, used to show part-whole relations.

JOSEPH FOURIER (MARCH 21, 1768 – MAY 16, 1830) Joseph Fourier was a French mathematician and physicist born in Auxerre and best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier Seris and their applications to problems of heat transfer and vibrations. Fourier is also generally credited with the discovery of the greenhouse effect.

THOMAS YOUNG (JUNE 13, 1773 – MAY 10, 1829) Thomas Young was an English physician and physicist. While a medical student, he discovered the way in which the lens of the eye changes shape to focus on objects at differing distances. He also calculated the approximate wavelengths of the seven colors discovered by Newton. Young also did work on measuring the size of molecules and was the first to use the word “energy” scientifically. In his spare time he was an Egyptologist and he helped to decipher a large part of the Rosetta Stone.

Sophie Germain was a French mathematician. She studied geometry to escape boredom during the French Revolution when she was confined to her family's home, and went on to do important work in mathematics, especially her work on Fermat's Last Theorem.

CARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS (APRIL 30, 1777 – FEBRUARY 23, 1855) Child prodigy Gauss, the ‘Prince of Mathematics, made his first major discovery as a teenager. He wrote a famous book called Disquisitiones Arithmeticae at 21. While in kindergarten Gauss added the numbers 1 to 100 within seconds with the help of a clever trick. The local Duke sent him to the most prestigious mathematical university in the world and graduated at the age of 22. He went on to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra, and introduced the Gaussian gravitational constant in physics, as well as much more – all this before he was 24! He continued his work up until his death at the age of 77, and had made major advances in mathematics.

MARY SOMERVILLE (DECEMBER 26, 1780 – NOVEMBER 28, 1872) Mary Somerville was a Scottish mathematician, known as the "Queen of Nineteenth Century Science." She fought family opposition to her study of math, and not only produced her own writings on theoretical and mathematical science; she produced the first geography text in England.

CHARLES BABBAGE (DECEMBER 26, 1791 – OCTOBER 18, 1871) Charles Babbage was an English polymath. He was a mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who is best remembered for originating the concept of a programmable computer.

ADA LOVELACE (DECEMBER 10, 1815 – NOVEMBER 27, 1852) Ada Lovelace was a British mathematician and the daughter of Byron, the poet. She translated Charles Babbage’s notations into what we today call software. In 1980, the Ada computer language was name after Ada Lovelace.

JEAN BERNARD LÉON FOUCAULT (SEPTEMBER 18, 1819 – FEBRUARY 11, 1868) was a French physicist best known for his demonstration of the Foucault pendulum,

BERNHARD RIEMANN (SEPTEMBER 17, 1826 – JULY 20, 1866) Bernhard Riemann was an influential German mathematician who made lasting contributions to analysis, number theory, and differential geometry, some of them enabling the later development of general relativity. He is famous for his legendarily difficult Riemann Hypothesis. It is an extremely complex problem dealing with prime numbers. It was ignored at first because very few mathematicians were able to understand it at the time. Today it is considered one of the greatest open questions in modern science. It continues to baffle even the greatest mathematicians. If the problem is ever solved or proved, major encryption systems, thought to be unbreakable, would collapse.

JAMES MAXWELL (JUNE 13, 1831 – NOVEMBER 5, 1879) James Maxwell was a Scottish mathematical physicist. He is famous for developing a set of equations that describe electricity, magnetism, and optics. Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led to the prediction of the existence of radio waves.

CHARLOTTE AGNES SCOTT (JUNE 8, 1858 – NOVEMBER 10, 1931) Charlotte Scott was an English, American mathematician and educator. She was raised in a supportive family that encouraged her education and she became the first head of the math department at Bryn Mawr College. She is also famous for her work to standardize testing for college entrance, which resulted in the formation of the College Entrance Examination Board.

SOFIA KOVALEVSKAYA (JANUARY 15, 1850 – FEBRUARY 10, 1891) Sofia Kovalevskaya was a Russian mathematician. She escaped her parents' opposition to her advanced study by a marriage of convenience. Then she moved from Russia to Germany and, eventually, to Sweden, where her she developed her own theorem

NIKOLA TESLA (JULY 10, 1856 – JANUARY 7, 1943) Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current(AC) electricity supply system. His 1891 invention, the "Tesla coil," is still used in radio technology today. Around 1900 Tesla began working a global communication system. He wanted to provide free electricity to the world via a large electrical. The system failed due to financial constraints, and Tesla had no choice but to abandon the project (on his Long Island, New York laboratory) In 1917, the site was sold, and Tesla's tower was destroyed.
