Of the 45 greatest mathematicians listed below, 2 are Indians, 1 Muslim, 1 Chinese, and 4 have Jewish ancestry (though one has a Jewish father only, and one has Jewish ancestry through his paternal grandparents). The rest are European. The 4 greatest are European: Archimedes, Newton, Euler, and Gauss. Whites invented true mathematics insofar as they were the first to derive mathematical concepts from pure reasoning alone or to think about numbers and operations abstractly, as products of the rational powers of the mind. Eudoxus (b. 408 BC): Developed the method of exhaustion, a precursor to integral calculus, for calculating areas and volumes. Euclid (lived around 300 BC): Authored Elements, a comprehensive treatise on geometry, number theory, and algebra that served as the primary mathematics textbook for over 2,000 years. Archimedes (b. 287 BC): Calculated an approximation of π (pi) and developed methods for finding areas and volumes; laid the groundwork for calculus with his use of infinitesimals and the method of exhaustion. Apollonius (b. ~15 AD): Introduced terms like ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola, and systematized the study of conic sections. Zu Chongzhi (429–500 AD): Calculated π to seven decimal places, a record for accuracy until the 15th century. Brahmagupta (598–668 AD): Introduced the concept of zero as a number and defined rules for arithmetic operations with zero and negative numbers. Al-Khwarizmi (b. 780 AD): Authored the book “Kitab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala” from which the term “algebra” is derived. Fibonacci (b. 1170): Introduced the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …), revealing patterns in nature and mathematics. Regiomontanus (1436–1476): Advanced trigonometry as a distinct mathematical discipline. Cardano (1501–1576): Introduced imaginary numbers (e.g., √−1), a key step toward complex numbers. Viète (1540–1603): Pioneered symbolic algebra by using letters for variables and constants, modernizing mathematical notation. Descartes (1596–1650): Invented analytic geometry and introduced modern exponential notation (e.g., x²). Pierre de Fermat (1607–1665): Co-founded analytic geometry, and laid foundations for number theory. Newton (1643–1727): Co-invented calculus (with Leibniz), introducing derivatives and integrals. Formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, grounded in mathematical principles. Leibniz (1646–1716): Co-invented calculus, introducing modern notation (e.g., dx/dt, ∫), and developed binary arithmetic. Bernoulli (1700–1782) Formulated Bernoulli’s Principle in fluid dynamics, a cornerstone of physics and engineering; advanced probability and statistics. Euler (1707–1783): Introduced key notations (e.g., e, i, ∑, f(x)) and the Euler identity (e^(iπ) + 1 = 0), solved the Basel problem (sum of reciprocals of squares). d’Alembert (1717–1783): Developed the wave equation. Lagrange (1736–1813): Formulated Lagrangian mechanics, revolutionizing classical physics. Laplace (1749–1827): Developed probability theory; refined Newton’s work on planetary orbits. Fourier (1768–1830): Introduced Fourier series to analyze periodic functions and heat conduction. Gauss (1777–1855): Proved the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and developed the Gaussian distribution in statistics. Lobachevsky (1792–1856): Pioneered non-Euclidean geometry (hyperbolic geometry). Bolyai (1802–1860): Independently developed non-Euclidean geometry. William Hamilton (1805–1865): Invented quaternions, extending complex numbers to four dimensions. Galois (1811–1832): Founded group theory and Galois theory, solving the problem of polynomial solvability by radicals. Boole (1815–1864): Developed Boolean algebra, the foundation of digital logic and computer science. Weierstrass (1815–1897): Rigorized calculus with epsilon-delta definitions of limits and continuity. Riemann (1826–1866): Introduced Riemann surfaces and complex geometry; developed differential geometry, influencing Einstein’s relativity. Dedekind (1831–1916): Defined real numbers via Dedekind cuts, rigorizing analysis. Cantor (1845–1918): Created set theory, introducing concepts of infinity (cardinality) and transfinite numbers. (Jewish ancestry through his paternal grandparents.) Klein (1849–1925): Developed the Erlangen Program, unifying geometry via group theory. Poincaré (1854–1912): Founded algebraic topology. Hilbert (1862–1943): Formulated Hilbert’s 23 problems, shaping 20th-century mathematics. Developed Hilbert spaces, key to quantum mechanics. Weyl (1885–1955): Unified mathematics and physics through group theory and differential geometry. Ramanujan (1887–1920): Made breakthroughs in number theory (partition function, Ramanujan conjecture). Banach (1892–1945): Co-founded functional analysis with Banach spaces. John von Neumann (1903–1957): Developed game theory. (Jewish) Kolmogorov (1903–1987): Axiomatized probability theory; contributed to turbulence and complexity theory. Turing (1912–1954): Laid the foundations of computer science with the Turing Machine; pioneered artificial intelligence concepts. Erdős (1913–1996): Prolific contributor to number theory, combinatorics, and graph theory. (Jewish) Shannon (1916–2001): Founded information theory and developed digital circuit design. Hirzebruch (1927–2012): Advanced algebraic geometry and topology; contributed to K-theory . Grothendieck (1928–2014): Revolutionized algebraic geometry; developed foundations for cohomology and category theory (Jewish father). Wiles (b. 1953):Proved Fermat’s Last Theorem (1994), a 350-year-old conjecture, using elliptic curves and modular forms.
