Mathematics manifested in all the phenomena of life, its language is logical and understandable to people from all over the world.The greatest scientists working in this area, often continue to influence the lives of people even after his death.What mathematicians everyone should know?
Bertrand Russell
Like many other famous scientists and mathematicians Bertrand expressed interest in the physical sciences as a child.He enrolled at the University of Cambridge, and went on to teach at the end of it.In addition to mathematics also interested in philosophy.He defended his doctoral thesis on geometry.Popularity Russell brought a book on the principles of mathematics, founded with a colleague Whitehead.Trud "Problems of Philosophy" was another important contribution.This work is still considered the best.In addition, Bertrand Russell was an active social life and published papers on the issues of knowledge.
Alan Turing
Rarely famous mathematicians become a source of inspiration for writers or directors.But Turing - the exception, it is not just a brilliant scientist, inventor and unique ways of deciphering.Therefore, his life seems to be so thrilling story.Modern mathematicians and programmers are still using a Turing machine, the principle of which is the basis of the theory of algorithms.It is obligatory for studying in all textbooks on logic.At the same time, Alan Turing alone has done more than many famous mathematicians together.He himself coined the term "computer" was a pioneer of computer science and artificial intelligence theory founded, without it is impossible to imagine a modern programming.Eventually, it can be called a hacker first in the world.He cracked the code of the German navy, which allowed the Allies win.Perhaps no Turing the course of history would have been quite different.But the life of a brilliant scientist ended tragically: he committed suicide by eating an apple poisoned with cyanide.
August Mobius
Many famous mathematicians have given his name to any concepts or phenomena observed in the process.No exception and Moebius: his name is heard, even those who in the exact sciences is not strong.Future mathematician born in Saxony.After college Shulpforte entered the University of Leipzig, where he studied law at first and then changed to specialize in astronomy and mathematics.It is believed that this showed the impact of the Leipzig teacher Mollveyde.In 1813, Mobius moved to Gottingen, where at that time the most famous mathematicians worked.In 1815 he received his doctorate title and became a professor of astronomy.At the same time engaged in mathematical research, many of whom, including the famous Mobius strip, were published only after the death of a scientist.His writings on the subject of projective geometry and algebraic curves seem to be relevant even today.
Nikolai Lobachevsky
the list of the world's leading scientists have to be well-known Russian and mathematics.One of the most famous, of course, is Nikolai Lobachevsky.The future fate of mathematics was not easy.He was a bastard, moreover, his father died early.Education Lobachevsky was in high school in Kazan and had already taken a great interest in mathematics and then went to the local university.The incredible success in school has led to the fact that Nicholas was given a master's degree, in addition, he was left at the university to obtain a professorship.In the course of his teaching Lobachevsky gave a course on physical and mathematical sciences.In 1826 he proved a theorem about the parallels that was the beginning of a non-Euclidean geometry and turned the idea of space that existed before.Already in 1827 Lobachevsky became rector of the home university.In his post selected six times in a row.When Lobachevsky University has changed: there were new buildings, the library has received a lot of books and laboratory - the latest equipment.But after six terms of a government decree, the Ministry of Education, he was sent as an assistant curator of the school district, which interrupted his scientific work and was the end of a serious career of the great mathematician.
