Euclid
ca. 325 BC–265 BC, Alexandria
Euclid of Alexandia, “The Father of Geometry”, was a Greek mathematician who, in his Elements, set forth his principles of geometry proving mathematical theorems from a small set of axioms or accepted principles.
Euclid's Elements is one of the oldest treatises on mathematics and is considered the most influential textbook ever written, being instrumental in the development of logic and modern science.

Pierre de Fermat
b. 8-17-1601; France
d. 1-12-1665
Pierre de Fermat, French mathematician and lawyer, is given credit for developments that lead to modern calculus, the study of limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.
Fermat's “Last Theorem - It is impossible to separate any power higher than the second into two like powers”, was not proven until 1994, three hundred fifty-seven years after he proposed it.

Carl Friedrich Gauss
b. 4-30-1777; Germany
d. 2-23-1855
Mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss has been described as “the prince of mathematics” for his contributions to number theory, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, electrostatics, astronomy, and optics. Those familiar with computer software imaging programs will know the term “Gaussian Blur” which refers to a set of normal distribution Gauss used to analyze astronomical data, and is applicable to image enhancement.
