what about Galois ?

isn't that the guy who died when he was 20 or something from a duel?

Correct! (but since he had his life cut short we don't know if he'd not otherwise have become an even greater mathematician.)

 

[Timothy.Siu]

PYTHAGORAS!!!

Woot!
Getcha right-angled triangles out, people!
It's time to part-ay!

that might not have even been his work, but rather his students

Sir Issac Newton

he's definately a fave ^ ^

 

[jet]

but then again, applied maths = fail.

really????

mine's a tossup, between gauss and euler. Gauss was my maths teacher's favourite, though I think mine is Euler. I more focus on the science-y side of things though, so he isn't my overall favourite.

 

[Kurwa]

Euler + Newton.....

But then again, I like the ancient greeks + egyptions

probably would've.

 

[khorne]

Newton/ Liebniz? (Probably incorrect spelling) for calculus =]

max menzies from the year above us

Worst temper/dress sense for a mathematician maybe, but he is battling against some very eccentric mathematicians in that category.

 

[tku336]

wait till he goes on an abusive rant. or just insult cambridge in front of him.

 

[v26]

the very maths we know would be nothing without Pythagoras "the father of numbers"

Mr. Noonan; GMTITU.

Mohsmmed Un-Musa Al-Khowarezmi, the guy that wrote the book that gives algebra its name

 

[Templar]

wait till he goes on an abusive rant.

The answer to that is simply pushing him into the ground. Given his build, it's very easy to do. Or remind him that in an arm wrestle, he will be beaten by almost everyone. Both has worked well.

The word ALGORITHM comes from his name too.

What about Phil Niven?
Have you guys heard of him? i heeard he was the best mathematician of all time!

 

[Hypermelon]

best personality: E. Galois

awesome.



shame he died so young
