Euler
  • He made important discoveries in fields as
    diverse as infinitesimal calculus and graph
    theory.
  • He also introduced much of the modern
    mathematical terminology and notation,
    particularly for mathematical analysis, such as
    the notion of a mathematical function.

Euler
  • Eulers formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a
    mathematical formula in complex analysis that
    establishes the deep relationship between the
    trigonometric functions and the complex
    exponential funcioc.

Marie-Sophie Germain
  • When Bastille fell at age 13, the revolution
    atmosphere of the city forced her to say inside.
  • Her parents didn't approve of her sudden
    fascination with mathematics.
  • The Ecole Polytechnique opened when she was 18.

13
Marie-Sophie Germain
  • When she read Carl Friedrich Gauss monumental
    work Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, her interest in
    number theory was renewed.
  • She toke interest in a contest sponsored by the
    Paris Academy of Sciences concerning Ernat
    Chladni's experiments with vibrating metal plates
    when her correspondence with Gauss ceased.
