    The three mathematicians I chose are as follows: Johann Heinrich Lambert, Evariste Galois, and David Hilbert. Johann Heinrich Lambert was an 18th century mathematician, and his contribution to trigonometry was providing evidence that “Pi” is irrational. His contribution was important because “Pi” is used for finding the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In addition, Evariste Galois was a 19th century mathematician, and his contribution to trigonometry was discovering the theory of polynomial

    because of what they believed in. Evariste Galois', for example, his school reports described him as singular, bizarre, original and closed. The most original mathematician at that time received criticism for being original. His math teacher, M. Vernier, reported that he had, "Intelligence, marked progress but not enough method." On July 2, 1829, his father committed suicide. The priest of Bourg-la-Reine forged Mayor Galois' name on cruel jokes directed at Galois' own relatives. His father, a good-natured

    The History of Math Mathematics, study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes, and properties and of logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced. In the past, mathematics was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes, as in geometry, or of numbers, as in arithmetic, or of the generalization of these two fields, as in algebra. Toward the middle of the 19th century, however, mathematics came to be regarded increasingly as the
