Euclid was a Greek mathematician who was well known for his contribution to geometry. He was referred to as "the father of geometry". Euclid's most famous work was Elements, which served as the main textbook for teaching mathematics until the 19th and 20th centuries. Furthermore, Euclid also published works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory, and mathematical rigor.

Hypatia was a Hellenistic Neoplatonist philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer. She was the first female mathematician whose life and work was formally recorded in history. She was known to construct--although not invented--astrolabes and hydrometers. She published writings on mathematics and astronomy. Her works in mathematics were mostly found on conic sections and algebraic equations. At the age of 55 years old, she was brutally murdered by a mop of Christain fanatics.

René Descartes was a philosopher and mathematician who spent the majority of his life working in the Dutch Republic. He is considered the father of modern philosophy, and many of his philosophical elements had precedents in late Aristotelianism. Descartes also held equal influences in mathematics. He was regarded as the founder of analytical geometry used in the discovery of infinitesimal calculus and analysis. The Cartesian Coordinate System was named after him.

Carl Friedrich Gauss is a German mathematician and physicist who was prominently known for his contributions in mathematics and other fields. Gauss was also known for covering his tracks after publishing theories. In his publication of the Disquisitiones arithmeticae, one of the greatest mathematical works of all time, Gauss never gave out his readers any information of how he conjured his ideas. Nevertheless, Gauss was described to be the most influential mathematician.

Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, engineer, inventor, philosopher. As a graduate of the University of Cambridge, Babbage was mostly known as the computer's inventor. He invented the first mechanical computer, the Difference Engine, between the 1820s and 1830s. In the 1830s, Babbage designed the Analytical Engine, which was more complex than the Difference Engine and was described as the successor to his previous design, under the assistance of Ada Lovelace.

Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and writer. She was mostly known for her work on the design of the Analytical Engine with Charles Babbage. Lovelace published the first algorithm that could be carried out by computers. She believed that computers could go beyond pure calculations, but they were not able to create anything that was not given to them by humans. This belief has led to human's study of artificial intelligence along with human intelligence.

Arthur Cayley was an English mathematician who worked mostly in algebra and who helped found the Modern British School of Pure Mathematics. Cayley proposed the Cayley theorem, which states that every square matrix is a root of its own characteristic polynomial, and verified it for matrices of order 2 and 3. Cayley was the first mathematician to define the concept of groups as a set with a binary operation that meets certain laws.

Andrey Markov was a Russian mathematician who was best known for his work on stochastic processes, which are objects usually defined as a family of random variables in the area of probability. He developed the Markov Chain, a model that states the possibility of an event depends only on the possibility of the previous event in a sequence of events. He proved the Markov's brother inequality along with his younger brother, Vladimir Markov.
