Progress accumalated and eventually after many advancements in technology by great men we have come down to the cell phone and now we just use it as is. If we spent out time trying to figure out why the phone works, like the proofs in maths then that would be much more difficult than just learning how to use the tool

Later the Persians and Muslims took charge until the Chinese began making headway. Then, things would shift into Northern Europe for some time until modern day where Germany and the Americans have their moment.

Shotout to my man Ahmes. He was an ancient Egyptian scribe who lived towards the end of the Fifteenth Dynasty (and of the Second Intermediate Period) and the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty (and of the New Kingdom). He transcribed the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, a work of ancient Egyptian mathematics that dates to approximately 1550 BC; he is the earliest contributor to mathematics whose name is known. He's also the first mathematician to use fractions. Ahmes claimed not to be the writer of the work but rather just the scribe. He claimed the material came from an even older document from around 2000 B.C
I absolutely love Euler. Obviously he was going to be here, but boy was I still happy to see him. His identity, in my opinion, is one of the most amazing displays of mathematics that we have

But instead most of them teach it in a lifeless manner and then students end up crying thinking why are there alphabets in maths.

Well done, with a few notable exceptions. Not sure if you had a mathematical historian review the presentation before publication, but it's a bit hard to see how you could have missed Evariste Galois (1811-1832), widely regarded as one of the most penetrating mathematicians of all time (for whom Galois Theory is named), as well as Charles Hermite (1822-1901) number theory, quadratic forms, and invariant theory, to name three areas Hermite developed in addition to mentoring Henri Poincare, and Giuseppe Peano (1858-1932), a principal architect of logic and Set Theory.

I am amazed to see plenty of Indian mathematicians in this list. I've read about Acharya Aryabhatt , Bhaskaracharya and S. Ramanujan but i heard few names for the 1st time for example i had never heard of Apastambh , Brahmagupt and Madhav . And many of the people i know don't know who Bhaskaracharya and Panini were! I am amazed to see how they don't teach about these great men in our schools.
Thanks to Galois we have Galois theory, Galois group, Galois field, Galois extension, Galois ring, Galois representation, Galois resolvent, Galois invariant, Galois polynomial, Galois symmetry, Galois closure, Galois geometry, Galois module, Galois descent .... and there is a Galois crater on the moon,
None of those things were developed by Galois but came after. Given the Abel-Ruffini theorem was known already as well as the relationship between the roots of a polynomial and permutations, I don't think it would have been long for what Galois did to have been done by someone else had he not existed (ie. characterizing the solubility of a polynomial equation of a prime degree). The real missing person here is Kummer, who doesn't have as many things named after him as Galois, but made greater contributions to field theory and algebraic number theory.
Anyone else see a pattern here? Also nice to see Weyl here. But what about LEJ Brouwer, Lebesgue, as well as the great non Euclidean mathematicians, Lobachevsky and Bolyai?
They don't count as their contribution to Mathematics is insignificant! As smart as Albert Einstein and Terence Tao are -They are good in math, but I don't see them as greatest to be on this list. No Einstein didn't invent the nuclear bomb, he only was asked by the U.S. to review math equations of Jewish scientist who defected from Germany. After reviewing the math, Einstein agreed that the defectors from Germany had the equation for a 'super bomb'. No doubt Einstein, Tao, Lobachevsky, Bolyai are intelligent, but not in the realm of the greatest mathematicians.
A somewhat random list. Many mathematicians are missing who were more influential than some mentioned here. (Galois, Frobenius, Lebesgue, Kolmogorov, Gödel, Lie, ... just to name a few.) I don't know how Hardy was missed when Ramanujan had been included.
CIE A Level 9702/12/O/N/23, final question contained a Thales of Miletus themed question, which requested us to find the center of a circle, and the coordinates of point B.

Just what was Cambridge hinting at?
Arabs like to claim credit for a things they didn't actually do. Nearly all 'Golden Age' Abassid philosophy is really just warmed over Greek philosophy, being discovered by Arabs for the first time (seized from conquered Byzantine Greek libraries) and applied in a Muslim framework instead of pagan, Jewish, or Christian. Big deal. The advances in medicine they claim were actually done by Persians and Jews. Astronomy, also, as well as regional knowledge that predated them but which they spread. The only honest to God genuine advance I'm sure Arabs invented was actually in cryptography, with al Kindi's breakthrough in using statistics-based cryptanalysis.

For those who do not know Abu Al-Rayhan Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Al-Biruni, he was not only a great mathematician, but he was a great scholar in almost everything. He was a traveler, philosopher, astronomer, geographer, geologist, mathematician, pharmacist, historian, and translator. He is well-versed in anthropology, chemistry, geodesy, medicine, physics, and many others. Therefore, he is considered the greatest scientist in history due to his comprehensiveness.
@@AJ-nd4nk What distinguishes Al-Biruni is that he is multi-disciplinary. He was an exceptional scholar in almost all the scientific and literary fields that existed at the time. Newton was also an exceptional scholar, almost the most famous scientist in history, but he was distinguished in only one or two fields, unlike Al-Biruni, who presented a lot and in more than one field. An example of some of his achievements, just some of his most notable achievements, is that he accurately determined the longitudes and latitudes of the planet Earth. He made contributions to mathematics by calculating the triangle, the circle, lines of longitude and latitude, the rotation of the Earth, and the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound. Discuss the question of whether the Earth rotates on its axis or not (preceded by Galileo and Copernicus). He established a mathematical rule for flattening the sphere, in his book “Assimilation in Flattening the Sphere” (i.e. transferring lines and maps from the sphere to a flat surface and vice versa) and thus facilitated the drawing of geographical maps. Al-Biruni's most prominent works: The book “Al-Biruni in investigating whether India has a saying that is acceptable to reason or rejected” is a unique work in scientific literature. In geography, he wrote the book “Correcting the Longitude and Latitude of Dwellings in the World from the Earth,” and “Determining the Ends of Places to Correct Dwelling Distances.” In history, he wrote “Correcting Dates” and “Remaining Antiquities of Past Centuries.” In literature, “Selected Poems and Antiquities.” Explanation of Abu Tammam’s Diwan. He also wrote many books on philosophy. He was also famous for his writings on pharmacy and medicines. Al-Biruni excelled in astronomy. He wrote “The Citation of the Variations of Meteorology,” “The Abbreviation of the Book of Ptolemy al-Qaludhi,” “The Understanding of Possible Aspects in the Making of the Astrolabe,” “The Expression of the Balance for Estimating Times,” and “Al-Masoudi’s Law of Form.” He wrote several books on mathematics, such as “Extracting Heels, Sides, and the Levels of Arithmetic Behind them,” and “The Book of Extracting Strings in a Circle with the Properties of a Curved Line in It.” Al-Biruni was one of the pioneers who said that the Earth has the property of attracting bodies towards its center, and he discussed this in opinions that he published in various books, but his most famous opinions in this regard were contained in his book “The Masoudi Law” (preceding Isaac Newton, the author of the Law of Gravity).

The wild part gotta be the fact that im in my 2nd year of college rn, and Im still catching up on all those years of math.
Like if you think about it, all our stuff right now, is just the application of their math.
They are so ridiculously smart. I am in college too and it’s ridiculous how they came up with these ideas.
"Standing on the shoulders of giants"
@@juanjuan5698It's amazing how smart they were.
And you realize why they were so smart when you delve deep into their ideas and you see how "simple" they are, how everything fits together and builds a theorem that, of course, you never thought of before.
The word genius fully describes them.
As an astrophysicist I can't even explain how much we owe to so many of them. I had no idea that a lot of them were not only great physicists but also great mathematicians.
Srinivas ramanujan had a short life but achieved great heights before his death he is truly a legend what was the number yeah hardy and ramanujan number i forgot what was the no. Though it was a kind of special no. Discovered something great even on his death bed

Im from Brazil and I have respect to India since any mathematicians and physicists like Ramanujan, Bhaskara, Satiendra Bose, and literally the numerical system we use in western contries came from there. I hope that India goes to the same path as China to revive its glory it had on the past and expect other countries from BRICS do the same.

It is amazing how good the portrait of Hasan Muhammad Al-Farisi is. Photo realism in the 13th century. Portrait of a mathematician. I always thought the portrait of Liu Hui is really good too. These guys may have come up with some kind of camera lucida to get their portraits done.

I haven’t seen anyone comment about James Clerk Maxwell- he added time dependency to the electrostatic equations.
Yea i think he is more physicist
Can't believe you missed Gödel!
Srinivasa Ramanujan is my inspiration, he used to say that lorddess shri Lakshmi used to sit in his mouth and he used to write equations, that man really have given all the equations in around 1900 which are literally underived after 100 years also but once this comes out by scientists then it's literally gonna help in future technology alot
newton is in our age know for physics. but i like he is recognized for his math skills too

This is mathematics, newton is basically my entire syllabus of physics , idk how smart he was to research of kinematics and calculus but damn
he also studied optics

I am amazed to see plenty of Indian mathematicians in this list. I've read about Acharya Aryabhatt , Bhaskaracharya and S. Ramanujan but i heard few names for the 1st time for example i had never heard of Apastambh , Brahmagupt and Madhav . And many of the people i know don't know who Bhaskaracharya and Panini were! I am amazed to see how they don't teach about these great men in our schools.
Thanks to Galois we have Galois theory, Galois group, Galois field, Galois extension, Galois ring, Galois representation, Galois resolvent, Galois invariant, Galois polynomial, Galois symmetry, Galois closure, Galois geometry, Galois module, Galois descent .... and there is a Galois crater on the moon,
None of those things were developed by Galois but came after. Given the Abel-Ruffini theorem was known already as well as the relationship between the roots of a polynomial and permutations, I don't think it would have been long for what Galois did to have been done by someone else had he not existed (ie. characterizing the solubility of a polynomial equation of a prime degree).
The real missing person here is Kummer, who doesn't have as many things named after him as Galois, but made greater contributions to field theory and algebraic number theory.
"Mathematics is the music of reason"
Anyone else see a pattern here?
Also nice to see Weyl here. But what about LEJ Brouwer, Lebesgue, as well as the great non Euclidean mathematicians, Lobachevsky and Bolyai?
I see a pattern that math is a male dominant subject
What is the pattren ?
They don't count as their contribution to Mathematics is insignificant! As smart as Albert Einstein and Terence Tao are -They are good in math, but I don't see them as greatest to be on this list. No Einstein didn't invent the nuclear bomb, he only was asked by the U.S. to review math equations of Jewish scientist who defected from Germany. After reviewing the math, Einstein agreed that the defectors from Germany had the equation for a 'super bomb'. No doubt Einstein, Tao, Lobachevsky, Bolyai are intelligent, but not in the realm of the greatest mathematicians.
What pattern? That loads of them are French?
@@kasajizo8963 yes
How the hell Galois isn't here
A lot of great mathematicians are missing here, especially from the later years. But as a logician, Godel and Turing are the biggest omissions for me.
let us all never forget Late Sir Ramanujan!
that soundtrack is marvelous
You missed so many, for example, Klein and Hausdorff, Schönfinkel, Herbrand, Markov, Kolmogorov and even Russell. And many more.
I like imagining what would happen if I got a Time Machine and taught everything I knew to the ancient Greeks, how far would mathematics be now
"ok that's very interesting but could you explain to me one more time what gravity is?"
A somewhat random list. Many mathematicians are missing who were more influential than some mentioned here. (Galois, Frobenius, Lebesgue, Kolmogorov, Gödel, Lie, ... just to name a few.) I don't know how Hardy was missed when Ramanujan had been included.

This is wonderful and quite well done, but there are many more great mathematicians to add.
CIE A Level 9702/12/O/N/23, final question contained a Thales of Miletus themed question, which requested us to find the center of a circle, and the coordinates of point B.
A Level English 9093/12/O/N/23 also contained a huge text about "Paradise Gardens", which was more or less like an allusion to Thales's philosophy of life, which states "Life is Water."
Just what was Cambridge hinting at?
Imagine getting them all into one room. I wonder what they would all think of eachothers achievements.

Every time you use a theorem by any of these mathematicians, you summon their spirit down from heaven to guide you with your proofs.
As a Statistician, i have to say, that Ronald Fisher should be on here!

for those calling the Arab mathematicians Persians, that’s like calling japanese people Chinese.
average smart iq arab in youtube
But a lot of those Islamic Golden Age Mathematicians were in fact Persians.
Arabs like to claim credit for a things they didn't actually do. Nearly all 'Golden Age' Abassid philosophy is really just warmed over Greek philosophy, being discovered by Arabs for the first time (seized from conquered Byzantine Greek libraries) and applied in a Muslim framework instead of pagan, Jewish, or Christian. Big deal.
The advances in medicine they claim were actually done by Persians and Jews. Astronomy, also, as well as regional knowledge that predated them but which they spread.
The only honest to God genuine advance I'm sure Arabs invented was actually in cryptography, with al Kindi's breakthrough in using statistics-based cryptanalysis.

Well researched, notwithstanding minor slip-ups.I am impressed that you featured Brahmagupta who gave the world Algebra first and Bhaskara who gave Calculus prior to Leibnitz and Newton.

I was wondering about the mathematicians of modern era
Godël is the most underrated mathematician of all time .
mathematical logic as a whole field is kind of ignored by community
Not really because the incompleteness thereom doesn’t currently have any application in the real world. It could just turn out that it’s a logical puzzle game that prevents math from perfectly explaining recursive statements, but that doesn’t have any bearing on the real world
@@parmenides2576its pretty far reaching actually. Just because youre not part of a field doesnt mean it cant be influential

For those who do not know Abu Al-Rayhan Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Al-Biruni, he was not only a great mathematician, but he was a great scholar in almost everything. He was a traveler, philosopher, astronomer, geographer, geologist, mathematician, pharmacist, historian, and translator. He is well-versed in anthropology, chemistry, geodesy, medicine, physics, and many others. Therefore, he is considered the greatest scientist in history due to his comprehensiveness.
@@chris-kh5lw
What are you talking about ??
Greatest scientist by who? I think most would agree that Newton was number 1.
@@AJ-nd4nk
What distinguishes Al-Biruni is that he is multi-disciplinary. He was an exceptional scholar in almost all the scientific and literary fields that existed at the time. Newton was also an exceptional scholar, almost the most famous scientist in history, but he was distinguished in only one or two fields, unlike Al-Biruni, who presented a lot and in more than one field. An example of some of his achievements, just some of his most notable achievements, is that he accurately determined the longitudes and latitudes of the planet Earth.
He made contributions to mathematics by calculating the triangle, the circle, lines of longitude and latitude, the rotation of the Earth, and the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound.
Discuss the question of whether the Earth rotates on its axis or not (preceded by Galileo and Copernicus).
He established a mathematical rule for flattening the sphere, in his book “Assimilation in Flattening the Sphere” (i.e. transferring lines and maps from the sphere to a flat surface and vice versa) and thus facilitated the drawing of geographical maps.
Al-Biruni's most prominent works:
The book “Al-Biruni in investigating whether India has a saying that is acceptable to reason or rejected” is a unique work in scientific literature.
In geography, he wrote the book “Correcting the Longitude and Latitude of Dwellings in the World from the Earth,” and “Determining the Ends of Places to Correct Dwelling Distances.”
In history, he wrote “Correcting Dates” and “Remaining Antiquities of Past Centuries.”
In literature, “Selected Poems and Antiquities.”
Explanation of Abu Tammam’s Diwan. He also wrote many books on philosophy.
He was also famous for his writings on pharmacy and medicines.
Al-Biruni excelled in astronomy. He wrote “The Citation of the Variations of Meteorology,” “The Abbreviation of the Book of Ptolemy al-Qaludhi,” “The Understanding of Possible Aspects in the Making of the Astrolabe,” “The Expression of the Balance for Estimating Times,” and “Al-Masoudi’s Law of Form.”
He wrote several books on mathematics, such as “Extracting Heels, Sides, and the Levels of Arithmetic Behind them,” and “The Book of Extracting Strings in a Circle with the Properties of a Curved Line in It.”
Al-Biruni was one of the pioneers who said that the Earth has the property of attracting bodies towards its center, and he discussed this in opinions that he published in various books, but his most famous opinions in this regard were contained in his book “The Masoudi Law” (preceding Isaac Newton, the author of the Law of Gravity).

Rather, it depends on the components on which the list is chosen. It means that if your component is influence, Newton will be first. If your component is revolution, Einstein will be first. My component is pluralism in the fields, because for me, being a great scientist in many fields is something more difficult than being a great scientist in One field, and in the end, these are just estimates for our modern era only because we all know that the most knowledgeable person in history is Adam, peace be upon him. He knew all the names.
