Leonhard Euler

Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician who made enormous contributions to a wide range of mathematics and physics including analytic geometry, trigonometry, geometry, calculus and number theory. His primary contribution to the field is with the introduction of mathematical notation including the concept of a function (and how it is written as f(x)), shorthand trigonometric functions, the e for the base of the natural logarithm (The Euler Constant), the Greek letter Sigma for summation. Furthermore, he continued to develop calculus, topology, number theory, analysis and graph theory as well as much, much more and ultimately he paved the way for modern mathematics and all its revelations.

Omar Khayyam

Omar Khayym was a Tajik Persian polymath: philosopher, mathematician, astronomer and poet. He moved to Bukhara and became established as one of the major mathematicians and astronomers of the medieval period. He is the author of one of the most important treatises on algebra written before modern times, the 'Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra'(1070), which includes a geometric method for solving cubic equations by intersecting a hyperbola with a circle In the Treatise he wrote on the triangular array of binomial coefficients known as Pascal's triangle. . He also contributed to a calendar reform

Muammad ibn Ms al-Khwrizm

Al-Khwrizm was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, geographer, and a scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad In the twelfth century, Latin translations of his work on the Indian numerals introduced the decimal positional number system to the Western world. His 'Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing' presented the first systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations in Arabic He also developed at length several arithmetic procedures including procedures on fractions and developed the trigonometrical tables containing sine functions Al-Khwrizm, rendered as (Latin) Algoritmi, led to the term "algorithm".

Euclid

Living around 300BC, Euclid was also known as Euclid of Alexandria. He was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the "Father of Geometry. His magnum opus, 'Elements' is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics, serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics until the 20th century. In the Elements, Euclid deduced the principles of what is now called 'Euclidean geometry' from a small set of axioms. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory and rigor.
