ed84c Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 So guys and gals who are your favorite scientists? Ill start of with mine; Micheal Faraday (obviously), now i know your all gonna want to say the same about this magnficient man............ Beware; if anybody says 'Thomas Edison' fear yee for your life.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicMX Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Schrödinger , you should have heard about him in university... atomic wave equation... lamda... and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Yes, some of that mathematics is quite involved. My favourite scientist would have to be Euler, without a doubt. So many theorems and results: [math]e^{i\pi} = -1[/math] [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}[/math] Major breakthroughs in topology, number theory, and a lot more. And to top it all, he did a lot of his best work towards the end of his life, when he was blinded by cateracts! Amazing man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodhound Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Amazing man.With all due respect. Gauss also should deserve that title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Of course. However, I think Euler has the edge, considering the man went blind and still wrote new and inspiring mathematics. Can you imagine doing that? Without being able to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 well i could actually. u don't need eyes to visalise mathematics. not in those days anyway. i would be well impressed if it was a blind man who painted mona lisa though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Try blindfolding yourself and then solving a particularly complex analysis problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 hehe. i am not on the same par as Euler am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulkit Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I have two :- 1) Gauss, because of the sheer number of brilliant results he proved 2) Schrodinger, because without his great equation we won't have the beauty of quantum mechanix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
