This list is completely rubbish without Simeon Pierre Laplace and Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier angry angry
Whatever rocks your boat bro!

Lagrange is not there
Poincare is not there
Hilbert is not there
Hypatia is not there
Pierre De fermat is not there.

So if you like write 1million of them there the list will never be complete.

Guy I know there are more of them BUT please, give importance to that word *TOP* you used. When u say Top, the above earlier mathematicians i mentioned must make that list !!! Because they are much more recognized than some other ones you mentioned in the list!

They are still top, the fact that I didn't include other on the list doesn't make them anyway less important than those that are on the list.

There is no way I would have written the table that will make it satisfactory for all. Moreover, there is no official list anywhere that covers all.

11. FIBONACCI



Fibonacci did not invent the Fibonacci sequence he learnt it from Arabian scholars.

I never said they are less important... But i just need you to get my point.. it's just like listing Top universities in Nigeria then placing Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos in the list, without adding Obafemi Awolowo University in the list. Both are important but their standards can never be compared...

Oh okay, nice write up though don't mind those people telling you to add, the list of great mathematicians could be pages long. From Alan Turing to Pascal and all the others I've forgotten.

The fact that he rejected over 400million naira makes his Story interesting.

Mtshwwww. These pple made my class mates laugh at me anytime there was a math problem for me to solve back then in school. Fgc Ogbomoso to be precise.

What about Ibn Haytham tand Muhammad In Musa al khawarizmi whose namevwas latinized to algorithm and their contribution to mathematicis which can't be estimated.

Yeah! The Fourier series and Laplace Transformation are game changing solutions in our everyday life!

Truth is, there is no comprehensive lists to supply to feed our thirst! For example, Sir Isaac Newton is credited with the Calculus, but this isn’t true because he didn’t even invent it.

What about Lagrange?

Among pure mathematicians? They cannot be never be top 20 despite their contributions.

In applied math? Maybe so.

Those crying about how incomplete and unfair the list is should make their thread.
