THE GREAT MATHEMATICIANS :
Ali bin Abi Talib, Saudi Arabia , 658-695 AD
Since young Ali ibn Abi Talib liked all kinds of things and follow the Prophet Muhammad. Ali later married the Prophet 's daughter , Fatima RA and live in simplicity intense . While living in simplicity Ali not recede in the pursuit of knowledge , not surprising that the Prophet once said , " When I am the city of knowledge so Ali is its gateway " .
When the initial number of mathematical symbols using characters as never taught by the Romans belong to elaborate , Ali popularized the symbol number in the Arabic alphabet with numbers 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 and 0 . Ali also simplifies the writing of Roman symbol number where ten with " X " , one hundred with " C " , a thousand with " M " and thus simplified by adding zeros behind the number of tens, thousands and ones with the number 10 , 100 , 1000 and next, the figure " 0 " in the number of Arabs are represented by dots.
Al-Biruni (973-1050)
His real name is Abu Arrayhan Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Biruni. He was born on 15 September 973 in Kath, Khwarazm (now known as Kara-Kalpakskaya, Uzbekistan) and died on 13 Dec 1048 at Ghazna (now known as Ghazni, Afghanistan). Al-Biruni was a philosopher, geographer, astronomer, physicist and mathematician. Over 600 years before Galgeo, Al-Biruni discussed the theory of the rotation of the earth without its own axis. Al-Biruni also uses the method of mathematics to enable Qiblah determined from any place in the world. He also was the first to state that the radius of the earth is 6339.6 km.
Omar Khayyam (1048-1131)
His real name is Ghiyath al -Din Abul Fateh Omar Ibn Ibrahim al - Khayyam and was born on May 18, 1048 and died on 4 dec 1131. Khayyam actually means khemah.Sumbangan largest maker Omar Khayyam is in the field of algebra.
He made an attempt to classify most algebraic equations , including degree equations tiga.Malah he offers some solutions to some problems of algebra. This includes geometric solutions of cubic equations and some of the solutions of most other equations .
His book ` Mazalat fi al - Jabr wa al - Muqabila ' is his masterpiece in algebra and very important in the development of the equation algebra.Pengklasifikasian done by Omar Khayyam is based on the complexity of the equations .
Omar Khayyam recognizes 13 different forms of cubic equations . The method of solving equations by Omar Khayyam is geometrical in nature .
In geometry , he made many of the studies that led to the formation of lines selari.Beliau theory has also been directed by the Sultan Saljuq - Malikshah Jalal al -Din cerap.Di to work at the station , where he was commissioned to determine the exact prayer calendar . Khayyam successfully introduced a calendar that was almost exactly and named Al -Tarikh - al - Jalali .
Greek Archimedes, 287-212 SMArchimedes 287-212 cm
Born in 287 BC and died in 212 BC during the war, was killed by the Romans. Roman soldiers did not know who exactly ..
He is likely to get education in Alexandria, Euclidean school. Egypt is the largest city at the time. He has taught the calculus. He is also regarded as the "Father of Calculus".
His most famous achievement is :
- Hydrostatic Law of Archimedes
- creating a pulley
- Archimedes screw
- discovering pi
Rene Descartes, France, 1596-1650
He is the inventor of the mathematical branch of coordinate geometry. According to him, it is sufficient to draw a straight line if penjangnya known. The graph drawn on a Cartesian axis contains a set of ordered pairs (x, y). He said the idea of co-ordinates while he was lying and watched a spider on the ceiling of his room.
Isaac Newton France, 1642-1727
Isaac Newton was one of the great mathematician and also learn physics. He found the law of gravitation and the theory concludes that the gravitational pull of an object is the style of other things. As the distance between the two objects are not reckon gravitational force between these objects. Move around the earth can be described by the law of gravity is.
Newton also discovered the laws of motion that were the basis of the dynamics. It fascinated with astronomy and find a type of reflector telescope is finally immortalized with his name.

THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS :
The area of study known as the history of mathematics is primarily an investigation into the origin of discoveries in mathematics and, to a lesser extent, an investigation into the mathematical methods and notation of the past.
Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge, written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light only in a few locales. The most ancient mathematical texts available are Plimpton 322 (Babylonian mathematics c. 1900 BC), the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 2000-1800 BC) and the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (Egyptian mathematics c. 1890 BC). All of these texts concern the so-called Pythagorean theorem, which seems to be the most ancient and widespread mathematical development after basic arithmetic and geometry.
The study of mathematics as a subject in its own right begins in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans, who coined the term "mathematics" from the ancient Greek μάθημα (mathema), meaning "subject of instruction". Greek mathematics greatly refined the methods (especially through the introduction of deductive reasoning and mathematical rigor in proofs) and expanded the subject matter of mathematics. Chinese mathematics made early contributions, including a place value system. The Hindu-Arabic numeral system and the rules for the use of its operations, in use throughout the world today, likely evolved over the course of the first millennium AD in India and was transmitted to the west via Islamic mathematics.Islamic mathematics, in turn, developed and expanded the mathematics known to these civilisations. Many Greek and Arabic texts on mathematics were then translated into Latin, which led to further development of mathematics in medieval Europe.
From ancient times through the Middle Ages, bursts of mathematical creativity were often followed by centuries of stagnation. Beginning in Renaissance Italy in the 16th century, new mathematical developments, interacting with new scientific discoveries, were made at an increasing pace that continues through the present day.
INRODUCTION TO MATHEMATICS :
Mathematics is significant in our daily lives because we use a lot of what we were taught in our daily activities. For instance tiling floors may be done by figuring the size of the area. Being able to figure out percentages can come in handy when faced with nutrition labels. Road signs and recipe books feature fractions that tell us the distance to our destination or how much of an ingredient to put in a dish. Calculating monthly bills requires math. Placing pictures on a wall and making certain they are hanging straight takes some knowledge of geometry.
