John Edensor Littlewood On the ninth day of June, in 1885, in Rochester Kent, England , Edward Thornton Littlewood and his wife, Sylvia Maud Ackland, welcomed their first child, a little boy. Whom they named John Edensor Littlewood. John was the oldest of three children. Their second child, Martin, was successful in his studies of medicine. Tragically, he lost his youngest brother when he was only eight years old, in a drowning accident. John was professionally known as John, or J.E. Littlewood. Those closed to him addressed him simply as “Littlewood.“ Although, In his elderly years, he became known as “Jack.” From a young age, it was apparent to John that education was important to his parents, and it would be expected of him to do well in his studies. When John was only seven, his …show more content…
This meant that he was devoting all this time to the studies of math, and many difficult problems. This time period is when he felt he successfully created his ‘craft’ in math. His math tutor/ mentor was the author of the famous book Mathematical Recreations and Essays, Walter Rouse Ball. A turning point in his educational career came in 1906. He began researching under his tutor E.W. Barnes. Barnes was so impressed with how quickly he was solving each problem he was given, he was then presented with the Riemann hypothesis to work on. The Riemann Hypothesis was first brought about by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. The Riemann Hypothesis is defined as a conjecture that the non- trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function all have the real part of half (½). It is also used for curves over finite fields. (Wolfram Mathworld) Many famous mathematicians have attempted to solve this. Littlewood was never one to regret having tackled the Riemann. He even stated “if one attempted a problem that was too difficult, then one would always end up proving some interesting related results” (Littlewood Biography.
Standing at approximately 1,128feet tall, the sleek design of the John Hancock Center has been a tourist attraction, work space, and home for many since 1965 when the Hancock center first opened its doors. The Hancock has been shaped by the city and the residents of Chicago. This Chicago landmark encompasses the success of Chicago. The very elegant black steel frame and shear mass demonstrates the economic powerhouse that it is. It represents the diversity in Chicago because the Hancock center is home to many different people and companies that wholesomely work in this building. When visiting Chicago one must venture over the to the Hancock Center observatory. This part of the building demonstrates how tourisms effects Chicago tremendously
Known as John Lackland (in French, Jean sans Terre), additionally count of Mortain, King John was the child of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the more youthful sibling of Richard I. Amid his rule, he was compelled to acknowledge the Magna Carta and lost a large portion of England's land holdings in France.
He began writing about his hypothesis/ idea in 1864-65, and published the results in 1866. It was not until 1900 that his published findings were
John's education was short, but that was usual for boys. John attended school at a place called Louth, which was nearby his town. At the age of about fifteen, John's father allowed him to leave school to become a merchant's apprentice. Many boys in those days left school, simply so they can work.
...nd a functional equeation for the zeta function. The main pupose of the equation was to give estimates for the number prime less than a given number. Many of his gathered results were later proven by Hadamard and Vallee Poussin. Riemann’s work affects our world today because he gave the foundation to geometry and when other mathmaticians tried to prove his theory they accidentally made other profound and significant contributions to math. Bernhard Riemann’s most influential assistors were his professors among them Gauss, Weber, Listing and Dirichlet. Perhaps of the four Gauss and Dirichlet had the most influence upon him, Gauss guided him as a mentor and Dirichlet’s work gave him the principle that his work was based on. Immortal are those who are forever remembered throughout history Bernhard Riemann past away in July 20, 1866 at the age of thirty-nine.

John Weaver, born in 1927, Piedmont, Alabama, Male, white, presbyterian, he lived only four years after his wife died. They were married for 60 years and only had 2 children.
Edward Jenner is often regarded as the “Father of Immunology” for his development of the smallpox vaccine. His remarkable discovery has laid the foundation for future scientists working with immunizations. Jenner’s impact is seen worldwide to this day with the complete eradication of the deadly smallpox virus. Edward Jenner’s Legacy will always live on as the first to vaccinate using a live virus. Vaccines are improving everyday, which benefits the public’s health, all thanks to Edward Jenner.
“Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks- write what you must. ”-Carl Phillips. This is the motto Carl Phillips lived by to become who he is today. Carl Phillips was one of the best African-American poets to ever live and his influential heritage, different types of education, and the occupations of his life all contribute to him being an amazing poet. Carl Phillips’ heritage and childhood influenced him a lot.
The American photographer, Edward Weston, can be described as one of the virtuosi photographers of the 20th century. The time period in which he made art was around the surrealism movement. Artists, as well as photographers, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques in this time period. Edward Henry Weston was born March 24, 1886, in Highland Park, Illinois. Edward would soon receive a camera from his father when he was around 16 years of age.
Education was very important to my father. Once I started attending school my grades took precedence over anything else in my life. My dad helped me with school work when I needed it, so bad grades were out of th...
The Bernoulli family had eight significant and important mathematicians, starting with Jacob Bernoulli, born in 1654. Though there was a great deal of hatred and jealousy between the Bernuollis, they made many remarkable contributions in mathematics and science and helped progress mathematics to become what it is today. For example, Daniel discovered a way to measure blood pressure that was used for 170 years, which advanced the medical field. Daniel’s way of measuring pressure is still used today to measure the air speed of a plane. Without the Bernoulli family’s contributions and advancements to calculus, probability, and other areas of mathematics and science, mathematics would not be where it is now.
By 1904 Ramanujan had begun to undertake deep research. He investigated the series (1/n) and calculated Euler's constant to 15 decimal places. He began to study the numbers, which is entirely his own independent discovery.
