 Thoroughly conscious ignorance is the
prelude to every real advance in science.

James Maxwell

Maxwell was a Scottish mathematician who formed the classical electromagnetic

theory. This combined centuries of research in magnetism, electricity, and optics
into a single theoretical framework.Connecting light with electromagnetism is
considered one of the greatest accomplishments of modern physics. He's in many
ways the founder of his field.

Alan Turing

Alan Turing is a British mathematician who is hailed as the father of computer

science. His work laid the groundwork for the PC.He developed the method by
which the Bombe – a massive electromechanical machine built by the Allies – could
crack the Enigma on an industrial scale, allowing them to read nearly all German
communication. In that regard, he is one of the founders of modern cryptanalysis.

Pierre-Simon Laplace

The marquis de Laplace was pivotal in the development of mathematical astronomy

and, most significantly, statistics.Laplace was one of the first people to propose the
existence of black holes. He was one of the central forces behind systematizing
probability theory, laying the groundwork for what is now termed Bayesian
statistics. He was one of the first to study the speed of sound.

As soon as an Analytical Engine exists,
it will neccessarily guide the future
course of science.

Charles Babbage

Babbage, an English mathematician and inventor, is considered the general "father of the
computer" for his proposal of the invention of the first mechanical computing device.
Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer, the Difference Engine,
that eventually led to more complex electronic designs, though all the essential ideas of
modern computers are to be found in Babbage's Analytical Engine.

Mathematics is a game played according to
certain simple rules with meaningless marks
on paper.

David Hilbert

David Hilbert, besides his immense contribution to functional analysis, may as well be
the patron saint of math teachers.
He is one of the founders of proof theory and was a leader in the mathematics field. One
of his most important accomplishments was creating, in 1900, a legendary collection of
23 unsolved problems. The problems would go on to set the syllabus for the entire field
for the 20th century. In doing so, Hilbert inspired and motivated generations of
mathematicians.

Take what you need, do what you should,

Gottfried Leibniz

German Gottfried Leibniz invented infinitesimal calculus independent of Englishman

Sir Issac Newton. His notation is still widely used today.
He was an avid inventor of mechanical calculators and added multiplication and
division functions to Pascal's calculator. He refined the binary number system in the
late 1600s, enabling the development of digital computers centuries later. A notorious
optimist, Leibniz coined the phrase "the best of all possible worlds."

 Desire and force between them are responsible
for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary
acts, force our involuntary.

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician and physicist active in the 17th century. He
clarified the concept of pressure and vacuum.
Pascal invented an early version of the roulette wheel and created the hydraulic press. He
developed the syringe. He also made early contributions to probability theory and actuarial
science, and made the first mechanical calculator.

Anyone who attempts to generate random
numbers by deterministic means is, of

John Von Neumann

Hungarian-American John von Neumann was credited as one of the greatest

mathematicians of his age. Besides his widespread contributions to broad disciplines
within pure mathematics, he also did a great deal of work in the applied fields.
He is a key figure in the development of the digital computer. He worked out steps to
completing a thermonuclear reaction.

Logic is the foundation of the certainty of all the

Leonhard Euler

A Swiss mathematician who spent most of his life in Russia Euler was the first to
introduce the concept of the function which in and of itself is an immense
achievement. That set the stage for all mathematical development since. He was the
first to ascribe the letter "e" to mean the base of the natural logarithm, the first to
use "i" for the imaginary unit, and he assigned sigma for summation. He introduced
Euler's formula, a trigonometric equation, and he developed the Euler's identity, eπi
+ 1 = 0. His impact on mathematics is profound.

Daniel Bernoulli

Daniel Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician, is remembered for his contributions to

fluid mechanics and his work in statistics and probability.He was one of the first
people to try to develop a kinetic theory of gasses. Bernoulli's principle is a critical
aspect of aerodynamic research. He was a medical pioneer, applying available
statistics to describe a smallpox outbreak in 1766.

Mathematics compares the most diverse phenomena

Joseph Fourier

Joseph Fourier was orphaned at the age of eight and later served on his local
Revolutionary Committee during the French Revolution.He contributed to
thermodynamics, dimensional analysis, and developed a partial differential equation
describing the diffusion of heat that is today taught in elementary physic lectures. In
the 1820s he was one of the first to recognize the atmosphere's impact on retaining
heat, now known as the Greenhouse Effect.

It is most important in creative science not to give
up. If you are an optimist you will be willing to
"try" more than if you are a pessimist.

Stanislaw Ulam

A participant in the Manhattan Project, the Polish Jewish mathematician is the latter
half of the Teller-Ulam design of a thermonuclear weapon.
Besides his work in nuclear physics, Ulam also developed the Monte Carlo method of
simulation. This method involves running hundreds of simulations to estimate the
probability of an event. This strategy is in consistent and pervasive use in modeling
today.
