    Hipparchus was the founder of trigonometry and transformed Greek astronomy from theoretical to practical and predictive by introducing the 360 degree circle. Some of the earliest mathematicians were Pythagoras and his followers who, through religious mysticism and philosophy, explored geometry and numbers and are credited with the Pythagorean theorem. Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was a 9th century Muslim mathematician and astronomer known as the "Father of Algebra" for his book "Kitab al-Jabr" which is the origin of the word algebra. Euclid was one of the first great Greek mathematicians who laid the framework for formal geometry in his classic text "Elements".

    HIPPARCHUS WAS NOT ONLY

    THE FOUNDER OF
    TRIGONOMETRY BUT ALSO THE
    MAN WHO TRANSFORMED
    GREEK ASTRONOMY FROM A
    PURELY THEORETICAL INTO A
    PRACTICAL PREDICTIVE
    SCIENCE. HE ALSO
    INTRODUCED THE DIVISION OF
    A CIRCLE INTO 360 DEGREES
    INTO GREECE.
    SOME OF THE EARLIEST
    MATHEMATICIANS WERE
    PYTHAGORAS AND HIS
    FOLLOWERS. MIXING
    RELIGIOUS MYSTICISM WITH
    PHILOSOPHY, THE
    PYTHAGOREANS'
    CONTEMPLATIVE NATURE LED
    THEM TO EXPLORATIONS OF
    GEOMETRY AND NUMBERS. THE
    FAMOUS RESULT ATTRIBUTED
    TO HIM IS PYTHAGOREAN
    THEOREM.
    MUHAMMAD IBN MUSA AL-
    KHWARIZMI WAS A 9TH-CENTURY
    MUSLIM MATHEMATICIAN AND
    ASTRONOMER. HE IS KNOWN AS
    THE "FATHER OF ALGEBRA", A
    WORD DERIVED FROM THE TITLE
    OF HIS BOOK, KITAB AL-JABR.
    EUCLID WAS ONE OF THE
    FIRST GREAT GREEK
    MATHEMATICIANS. IN HIS
    CLASSIC "ELEMENTS"
    EUCLID LAID THE
    FRAMEWORK FOR OUR
    FORMAL UNDERSTANDING
    OF GEOMETRY.
