List of the entire famous scientist Alessandro Volta(1745-1827) An Italian Physicist who was a pioneer in the development of electricity. He created the first electric battery in 1800. This battery gave the world its first continuous, reliable source of electric current, and led to all important discoveries of the use of electricity. The unit of measuring electromotive force (emf), Volt(v) is named after him. He also proposed the law that the air expands at a constant rate with increasing temperature. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German mathematical physicist. Famous for the theory of relativity. Motion is relative and there fore, can be measured only in relation with something else. According to him, the only unchanging quantity is …show more content…
Sreenivasa Ramanajun(1887-1920) Indian mathematician. Born on December 22,1887 at erode, Tamil Nadu. Passed his matriculation exam in 1903. He was interested in solving mathematical problems from his child hood. He got a fellowship for his higher education in Trinity in 1917. He was selected as the fellow of the royal society in 1918.He published a number of books in mathematics. He died on April 26, 1920 Stephen Hawking(1942-) An English mathematical physicist. His explanations of the formation of the universe and of black holes in space have become widely accepted among scientists the world over. His best selling book, 'A brief history of Time' (1988) has sold 25 million copies providing many with an introduction to quantum physics and relativity Thales of Miletus(c.636 BC-546 BC) The Greek philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, remembered for his cosmology. He is generally regarded as the founder of Greek geometry. He adopted a naturalistic, rather than mythological view if the world. He was regarded as one of the 'Seven Sages', seven wise Greek men, of the 6th and 7th centuries BC Albert Michelson(1852-1931) The German born US physicist. He was the first American to win a Nobel prize for his measurements of the speed of light. In the 1880's Michelson and the US Physicist Edward Morley try to find out how fast the earth moved through the ether. The result was the ether wasn't exist at all. This later
David Hilbert was born in Konigsberg, Prussia on January 23, 1862 and went on to pursue a career in mathematics in his mother country before receiving a doctorate in 1885 for his study and thesis of invariant theory (David Hilbert, n.d.). Hilbert went on to begin a professional academic career at Konigsberg, where he taught until 1895 when he was "appointed to the chair of mathematics at the University of Gottingen, a post that he would hold for the remainder of his life.
Carl Sagan was an American Astronomer in the 1960s through the 1970s and he was one of the most well-known scientists in America. He was the main host of the popular tv show called, “The Cosmos”, and the
During this time he was tested to see what skills he had, the results show that he was very good in all categories, but he was especially excellent in mathematics. When he was
He soon was recognized and got a job as a physicist. He was recruited by MIT to work on a project. When he was working, he invented the first

Galileo Galilei was a scientist and astronomer who created works that laid the groundwork for modern physics and astronomy. He was known as one of the greatest scientist of this era. He became
He is well-known for his reputation in science work. Dr.
However he was known for his incredible discoveries and theories, he was wrong about much as well. For instance, he believed that the earth was the center of the universe which it is not. Another thing he was wrong about is atomic theory. He believed that all materials on earth were not made up of atoms, but from the four elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. He believed that all elements were a mix between
Johannes Kepler was a mathematician, an astrologer, and an astronomer. He was a key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution and was best known for his laws of planetary motion.
"In 1906, he began studying mechanical engineering in Berlin, and in 1908 he went to Victoria University, Manchester to study for his post-graduate degree in engineering and aeronautics," according to The Basics of Philosophy. At first, he started to study engineering and aeronautics, but later on would find interest in the foundations of mathematics. And from his newly found interest in the foundations of mathematics, he had gone to find Bertrand Russell, who had co-written, "Principia Mathematica" which had inspired to look into the foundations of mathematics in the first

Aside from the atomic theory, he had other accomplishments, he authored over 70 books throughout his lifetime. He is renowned for being a pioneer of mathematics
Leonhard Euler was a respected and well-known Swiss Mathematician and physicist who was credited to be one of the pure founders of mathematics. Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707 and died September 18, 1783. He was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, logician and engineer. He made many discoveries in different branches of mathematics such as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory, as well as pioneering contributions to topology and analytic number theory. He also revised almost all of the branches of mathematics that were known at the time as well as adding details to them, proofing them and arranging the whole in consistent form.
David Hilbert, a German mathematician, born January 23rd, 1862 in Königsberg, Germany, was recognized and known as one of the most influential and universal mathematicians of the 19th and early 20th century. Hilbert discovered and prospered a wide variety of ideas that included a theory called the invariant theory and the axiomatization of geometry. He also created another theory that was named after him which was, the theory of Hilbert
