Absolutely everything that surrounds us bears some relation to mathematics: buildings, new technologies … They are defined as the set of formal languages that can be used as a tool to pose different problems in specific contexts. Throughout history, many mathematicians have made great contributions to this branch, thanks to which a large number of technological advances that we know today have been possible. These are the most famous mathematicians in history. Pythagoras Pythagoras was the first mathematician in history, well known for the “Pythagorean theorem” which says: “The sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.” He created the school of Pythagoras, and many of his disciples attributed all the discoveries to him, so it is difficult to know for sure which results are the works of the master and which of the students.René Descartes Born in France in March 1596, He was a renowned physicist, philosopher, and mathematician. He is considered the father of modern philosophy and analytical geometry. It has gone down in history in large part due to its rationalistic principle, which was popularized by the phrase “I think, therefore I am.” Carl Friedrich Gaus is considered the “Prince of mathematics” for his well-known “Number Theory.” Born in 1777, Carl Friedrich Gauss became known for his contribution to the fundamental theorem of algebra. It was he who established that every algebraic equation of coefficients has complex solutions. Some consider him the most important mathematician in history. Euclides Euclides was a Greek geometer and mathematician who is known as “The father of geometry. Born in the year 35 a.C, published the book «Elements», with which he laid the foundations of classical geometry. Today, more than 2,000 years later, it continues to be a must-read for mathematicians. It is the second most translated book in history, only behind the Bible.Leonardo Pisano Bigollo And, finally, Leonardo Pisano Bigollo. Better known as Fibonacci, he is considered the most talented mathematician of the Middle Ages in the West. He introduced the Arabic-Hindu number system in the West and in the work “Book of Calculus” he included a sequence of numbers, the “Fibonacci Numbers.”
