About Daniel Bernoulli

• Daniel Bernoulli was born in Groningen,
  Netherlands on February 8, 1700. Daniel was sent
  to Basel University at the age of 13. He
  obtained his baccalaureate examinations in 1715
  and went on to obtain his master's degree in
  1716. He made one of his most famous discoveries
  when he defined the simple nodes and the
  frequencies of oscillation of a system. He showed
  that the movements of strings of musical
  instruments are composed of and infinite number
  of harmonic vibrations all superimposed on the
  string.

• The most important work he worked on was
  hydrodynamics. He also discussed the basis for
  the kinetic theory of gases. He worked on many
  new math discoveries and helped introduce new
  things for math. He died on March 17, 1782.

Ernst Kummer

• Ernst Kummer was born in 1810 in Brandenburg.
  In 1828 Kummer began to study in theology at
  the University of Halle. He received a degree
  in mathematics and taught in Sorau and Liegnitz.
    As a result of some outstanding work in
  mathematics and some correspondence with Jacobi
  and Dirichlet, Kummer was elected to the Berlin
  Academy of Sciences and eventually gained
  professorship at the niversity of Breslau in
  Poland.
• Kummer was eventually appointed to
  Berlin, as was Weierstrass.
    Kummer and Weiertstrass established the first
  pure mathematics seminar in Berlin, and
  Kummer gained even more popularity in the
  mathematical community.   While at Berlin, Kummer
  supervised many famous mathematicians including
  Bachmann, Cantor, du Bois- Reymond, Gordan,
  Schönflies and Schwarz.. Kummer died in 1893,
  but his work will live on as some of the most
  impressive work of his time.

About Archimedes
Legendary Greek inventor and mathematician. His
principal discoveries were the Archimedes screw,
an ingenious device for raising water, and the
hydrostatic principle, or Archimedes principle.

...More About Archimedes
His main interests were optics, mechanics, pure
mathematics, and astronomy. Archimedes'
mathematical proofs show both boldly original
thought and a rigor meeting the highest standards
of contemporary geometry.
His approximation of p was not improved on until
after the Middle Ages, and translations of his
works were important influences on 9th-cent. Arab
and 16th- and 17th-cent. European mathematicians.
In his native city, Syracuse, he was known as a
genius at devising siege and countersiege
weapons. He was killed by a Roman soldier during
the storming of the city.

approximate surface area of a cone whose slant
height is 6 inches and whose radius is 3 inches?

Cauchys Theorem

• Cauchys theorem is the most important theorem in
  Complex Analysis. In its simplest form is states
  that integrating any complex valued function
  around a curve gives zero provided that the
  function is differentiate everywhere inside the
  curve.

• his Italian-French mathematician was born in
  Turin, Italy in 1736, and was a professor at the
  age of 19. He made contributions to fields
  including differential equations, maximum-minimum
  problems, Taylor series, probability, and theory
  of equations. Joseph-Louis Lagrange died in Paris

Famous for..

• Born on March 31, 1596
• French mathematician, scientist, and philosopher.
  Because he was one of the first to oppose
  scholastic Aristotelianism, he has been called
  the father of modern philosophy.

His Works

• Meditations on Philosophy, Principles of
  Philosophy and Discourse on the Method of Rightly
  Conducting Ones Reason, and Seeking Truth in the
  Sciences
• Also famous for saying I think, therefore I am.

16
Most Notable Contribution

• His systematization of analytic geometry. He was
  the first mathematician to attempt to classify
  curves according to the types of equations that
  produce them.

Biography

• Maria Agnesi was born at Milan on May 16, 1718 as
  the oldest of 21 children.
• Her father was a professor of mathematics at the
  University of Bologna.
• By the age of thirteen she had mastered Spanish,
  Latin, French, Hebrew, Greek, German, and other
  languages.
• After publishing countless books about higher
  education for females and books defending various
  philosophical theses, she became vain of her
  success and decided to enter the convent at the
  age of 20.

24
Biography

• She devoted the rest of her life to the study of
  mathematics, published more books of her
  findings, and came up with the Witchs Curve.
• She was asked to teach at the University of
  Bologna but quit two years later due to his
  death. After his death, she devoted her time to
  theology and the study of the Fathers of Church.
  She later died at the age of 81 in Milan.
