Today, our speaker is a great mathematician who has made many contributions to the field of mathematics, especially regarding geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Through his lifetime, he has been a revered published author and has many prolific articles depicting his research. The man I am referring to is the eighteenth mathematician, Leonhard Euler. At a young age, Euler showed a propensity to mathematics and that was recognized by many elder mathematician. As a teen, Euler was discovered by Johann Bernoulli, one of the first mathematicians in Europe, and was offered to earn his master’s degree at the University of Basel under the guidance of Bernoulli. Upon completing his degree, Leonhard Euler moved to Russia and became a professor at
Not only did Hitler ingest strychnine, but he also took Eukodal, which is another name for Oxycodone, for pain (Link 1). To keep track, we now have a chronic intravenous drug user, who is addicted to opioids, and slowing poisoning himself with strychnine. The image of an all powerful Hitler is fading more and more.
Born to the family of a traveling salesman, Bernard Ebbers was the second of five children. He was born in Edmonton, Alberta, and his family also lived in California and New Mexico while he was growing up, before returning to Edmonton.[citation needed] After high school, Ebbers briefly attended the University of Alberta and Calvin College before enrolling at Mississippi College. During the time between schools he worked as a milkman and bouncer. While attending Mississippi College, Ebbers earned a basketball scholarship. An injury before his senior season prevented him from playing his final year. Instead of playing, he was assigned to coach the junior varsity team.[4]
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
The education of mathematics was very important and special to Mary. During Marys education at University of Chicago she was teaching at Downer college. She was urged to also teach at the University of Gottingen. After Mary’s studies she soon graduated in 1889 and was “The first American woman to receive a PhD in mathematics from a European university” (Biographies of Women Mathematics”).

Albrecht Durer was born Nuremberg, German in 1471 and died 1528. Durer was painter, printmaker and theorist of the German Romanians. Durer was the second son of the goldsmith Albrecht Durer the Elder. Durer was training on his father workshop. His shill was remarkable because self-portrait done in 1484. Durer was talented so when he was 15 years old he finished work of art in the late Gothic style.
Hitler moves to the Bavarian capital of Munich, Germany, to avoid enlistment in the Austrian Army. The Austrian authorities demand he joins up in 1914, but Hitler fails the physical
HamptonSocial Studies April 27, 2015Renaissance Essay: Johannes Kepler Imagine what it would be like to be a great mathematician, who could solve anything involving numbers. This makes me think of Johannes Kepler because he was the renaissance’s innovator who could invent new ideas with math. Johannes Kepler was born in Weil Der Stadt in the holy Roman Empire now Germany. Johannes was known for being able to justify six planets and its distances. Johannes Kepler had a very rough life growing up. Early on, Johannes was prone to Ill-health. His hands were damaged and his eyesight was diagnosed with a virus called small pox. His grandfathers were amazed with his ability to solve any problem they could bring up to him involving numbers. Another fact about Johannes Kepler is his father Heinrich Kepler earned his living as a mercenary and left the family when Johannes was five. Johanne's mother took him outside to see the eclipse when he was nine years old, he remembered the event his entire life. He was schooled in latin the language of academics, the legal profession and churchmen throughout Europe. Later on he attended Protestant Seminary of Maulbronn, he wished to become a protestant minister. He also attended University of Tubingen, where he took the classes of Theology, Greek Hebrew, Philosophy and Mathematics. Johannes Kepler had
He even did extensive work in certain areas of science. His first mathematic instructions were that of his father, who was a pastor in a neighboring town. His father had significant achievements in mathematics. Realizing his son’s potential, Euler’s father sent him
Euclid of Alexandria, a Greek mathematician, is famously known as the Father of Geometry. The name Euclid means “Renowned” or “Glorious”. The exact date of birth of Euclid of Alexandria is still unknown, but it is probable that he was born around 330B.C.E. in Tyre. There is little background information about his early life; however, historians believe he came from a rich background.
Hans Wegner was a man with a love for designing chairs, and as a result managed to produce over 500. He provided the public an opportunity to rethink how they thought of furniture.
David Hilbert was a German mathematician whose research and study of geometry, physics, and algebra revolutionized mathematics and went on to introduce the mathematic and scientific community with a series of mathematical equations that have yet to be solved. Furthermore, his study of mathematics laid the groundwork for a variety of ongoing mathematic analyses, which continue to influence the world today.
departure. Euler lost the sight of his right eye at the age of 31 and
Though he was developing and testing his theories, Galileo was not exposed to mathematics but was intrigued in the subject after attending a geometry lecture. He then began to study mathematics and natural philosophy instead of medicine since right before he earned his degree, the university cut him off due to unpaid funds. Returning to Florence, he lectured at the Florentine academy, where he studied and applied his new interests, and in 1586 he published an essay describing his invention of the hydrostatic balance, when fluid is at rest, which made his name known throughout Italy. With his other interest of philosophy, Galileo studied fine arts and received an instructer position in the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence in 1588 where he met Cigoli, a painter, who applied Galileo’s astronomical observations in his painting. This led Galileo to expand his mentality to be more aesthetic.
Euclid’s assumptions about his postulates have set the groundwork for geometry today. He provided society with definitions of a circle, a point, and line, etc and for 2000 was considered “the father of geometry.” His postulates proved to be a framework from which mathematics was able to grow and evolve, from two thousand years ago, till Newton and even to all our classrooms today.
