    http://www.math.wichita.edu/history/Men/fermat.html
    
    Extractions: Pierre de Fermat Pierre de Fermat (pronounced Fer-mah') was born in southwestern France in 1601. His father was a wealthy leather merchant who made it possible for Pierre to receive a monastery education and to attend the University of Toulouse. By the time he was 30, Pierre was a civil servant whose job was to act as a link between petitioners from Toulouse to the King of France and an enforcer of royal decrees from the King to the local people. Evidence suggests he was considerate and merciful in his duties. Since he was also required to act as an appeal judge in important local cases, he did everything he could to be impartial. To avoid socializing with those who might one day appear before him in court, he became involved in mathematics and spent as much free time as he could in its study. He was so skilled in the subject that he could be called a professional amateur. He was mostly isolated from other mathematicians, though he wrote regularly to two English mathematicians, Digby and Wallis. He also corresponded with French mathematician, Father Mersenne (pronounced Mer-seen') who was trying to increase discussion and the exchange of ideas among French mathematicians. One was Blaise Pascal who, with Fermat, established a new branch of math - probability theory. Fermat himself was secretive and, since he rarely wrote complete proofs or explanations of how he got his answers, was mischievously frustrating for others to understand. He loved to announce in letters that he had just solved a problem in math but then refused to disclose its solution, leaving it for others to figure out.

    Extractions: Search billions of records on Ancestry.com Click here to return to the Main Page of Although the cross-staff was popular with sailors, it had some serious defects, which were often pointed out by the English mathematicians. If the staff were not positioned correctly on the cheekbone, the eye would not be the terminal point in the axis. The result would be a misreading of the angle. Another problem was the blinding glare when a mariner was observing the meridian altitude of the sun. In the northern latitudes, the brightness of the summer nights made star sights impractical. In about 1594 John Davis, an English captain, developed a simple back-staff which eliminated the problems of parallax and the glare of sun sights as well as the problems involved in sighting two widely separated objects simultaneously. Davis' back staff was intended to be an improvement on the mariners' quadrants, astrolabes and cross-staves. The Davis back-staff consisted of a graduated staff, a half-cross in the shape of an arc of a circle on the radius of the staff with a fixed vane, and a brass horizon vane with a slit in it at the fore-end of the staff. The observer placed the staff on his shoulder and stood with his back to the sun. With the horizon vane lined up with the horizon, he slid the half-cross back and forth until the shadow of its vane fell across the slit in the bottom vane while the horizon was visible through the slit. By doing this the observer was able to sight both the sun and the horizon while his back was towards the sun.

36. Leibniz, Gottfried (1646-1716) -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Scientific Biog
    It is unfortunate that continental and English mathematicians remained embroiled for decades in a heated and pointless priority dispute over the discovery of calculus.  
    http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Leibniz.html
    
    Extractions: German philosopher, physicist, and mathematician whose mechanical studies included forces and weights. He believed in a deterministic universe which followed a "pre-established harmony." He extended the work of his mentor Huygens from kinematics to include dynamics He was self-taught in mathematics, but nonetheless developed calculus independently of Newton . Although he published his results slightly after Newton , his notation was by far superior (including the integral sign and derivative notation), and is still in use today. It is unfortunate that continental and English mathematicians remained embroiled for decades in a heated and pointless priority dispute over the discovery of calculus Leibniz made many contributions to the study of differential equations discovering the method of separation of variables reduction of homogeneous equations to separable ones, and the procedure for solving first order linear equations. He used the idea of the determinant 50 years before Cramer , and did work on the multinomial theorem Leibniz combined the Scala Naturae with his plenum (continuous) view of nature, and called the result the Law of Continuity. He believed that it was not possible to put organisms into discrete categories, stating "Natura non facit saltus" (Nature does nothing in leaps).

    Extractions: E. T. Whittaker Doctoral students Cartwright Chapman Good Morley ... Wright Influences Camille Jordan Godfrey Harold “G. H.” Hardy FRS (7 February 1877 – 1 December 1947) was a prominent English mathematician , known for his achievements in number theory and mathematical analysis He is usually known by those outside the field of mathematics for his essay from 1940 on the aesthetics of mathematics A Mathematician's Apology , which is often considered one of the best insights into the mind of a working mathematician written for the layman Starting in 1914, he was the mentor of the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan , a relationship that has become celebrated. Hardy almost immediately recognized Ramanujan's extraordinary albeit untutored brilliance, and Hardy and Ramanujan became close collaborators. In an interview by Paul Erdős , when Hardy was asked what his greatest contribution to mathematics was, Hardy unhesitatingly replied that it was the discovery of Ramanujan. He called their collaboration "the one romantic incident in my life."
