This result was immensely important because it showed that... in algebra (mathematics): New challenges and perspectives ...group was simple. However, a full characterization of simple groups remained unattainable until a major breakthrough in 1963 by two Americans, Walter Feit and John G.

Famous Black Mathematicians Throughout history there have been many tremendous black mathematicians. Although some of them have not received the same notoriety as the likes of Eisten and Newton , their contributions cannot be overlooked. Below is a list and short biography of some of the most influential African American mathematicians. If we have overlooked somebody that you think should be included on this list, please contact us Benjamin Banneker Date of Birth: November 9, 1731 Date of Death: October 9, 1806 Birthplace: Ellicott City, Maryland Banneker contributed as an astronomer, surveryor, and almanac author, in addition to mathematics. Benjamin Banneker Banneker's interest in mathematics began at an early age when he used his knowledge to build a clock that struck hourly. Later in life he took a strong interest in anstronomy, and was able to perform detailed calculations that predicted solar and lunar eclipses. He kept his information in a series of journals that also included additional advanced mathematical calculations. Elbert Frank Cox Date of Birth: December 5, 1895
