Sonya Kovalevsky “Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.” Sonya Kovalevsky “Say what you know, do what you must, come what may. It is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in soul.” Sonya Kovalevsky said these quotes to inspire those around her. Her real name is Sophia Kovalevsky. Sonya Kovalevsky was born

Carl Friedrich Gauss, from his youth, was destined to be a great mathematician. By the time Gauss turned three, he had already taught himself to read and write. Additionally, Gauss often told acquaintances and friends that before he learned to speak, he learned to make mental calculations. Throughout his lifetime, Gauss made discoveries which would benefit many fields within mathematics. Gauss contributed greatly to the fields of arithmetic, statistics, geometry, algebra, and astronomy. The origin

Robert studied physics and played a important, role he was the director of the Laboratory that made the first Atomic bomb in Los Alamos N.M. (New Mexico). Went to Five different schools and colleges Harvard, University of Göttingen, Christ’s College Cambridge, University of Cambridge and University of California from 1929-1942. Invention He only invented the Atomic bomb. The effect was very bad other, countries made the bomb to try to stay even with America so they wanted them to Russia, China,

that was known for amazing things. For example, she is German mathematician known for her landmark contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics. Her education took place in University of Erlangen-Noremberg (1904-1907). Also, the University of Göttingen through the time of 1903-1904. (Google sites)

The Biography of Howard P. Robertson Howard P. Robertson was born in January 27, 1903, in Hoquiam Washington. He was the oldest child out of five children. All children attended university. His father died at when Robert was 15. He attended University of Washington in Seattle. He wanted to be to study engineering at first but he eventually switched to mathematics. he got a bachelor science degree in mathematics in 1922 but earned a masters in 1923. The same year he earned a masters he married Angela

Hertzsprung was born in Frederiksberg, near Copenhagen, on October 8, 1873 and died in Roskilde, Denmark, on October 21, 1967, at the age of  94. His father had a master's degree in astronomy from the University of Copenhagen, but for financial reasons he gave up astronomy to accept a position in the Department of Finances. His father's interest in astronomy and mathematics inspired his interest in the same fields. However, for the same financial reasons, his father did not want his son to pursue

the age of 17 Oppenheimer began attending Harvard, a prestigious and well known private University. He graduated Harvard with a major in Chemistry in May of 1925. Later that year he enrolled at Cambridge University in England to study physics thus beginning his atomic research in the Cavendish Laboratory under J.J. Thomson. Then at the age of 22 he was invited to team up with Max Born at Gottingen University in Germany. There he developed the Born-Oppenheimer Method. This method was an important

The Grim Brothers Jakob Grimm the older brother was born on January 4, 1785 and his younger brother Wilhelm Grimm was born February 24, 1786 both of them were born in Hanau Germany and were both the oldest surviving children out of 6 including them from Dorothea and Philip Grimm. As young kids they spent most of their time together beside from spending a long period of time apart they were together for the rest of their lives. Their low temper made it easy to cooperate and work together on projects

her family so I'm going to go straight into why she is "famous" and how she became "famous". She was certified to teach English and French in an all girls schools in the 1900's. But instead Emmy chose to stay in school and study mathematics at the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg. At this time women weren't treated equally, so she could only attend class if her instructor said she could. Her course for mathematics was taught by David Hilbert, Felix Klein, Hermann Minkoeski, and astronomer Karl Schwarzschild

Danielle Kemper Amalie Emmy Noether was born on March 23, 1882. She died on April 14, 1935. She was born in Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany. She had three siblings, all of which died but one, her brother Fritz, who became a mathematician. Her father was also a mathematician. She wasn’t allowed to go to school, so she learned things that women were supposed to know and do, such as cooking and cleaning. People began to think she was a mathematical genius when she solved a brain teaser quickly at an early
