Here is the Updated Version of This Video th-cam.com/video/CRAMvvj7w0g/w-d-xo.html It covers 141 mathematicians in total! Hope you guys enjoy it 😊 Have a great day ❤️
OK, now you pacified many readers. I have known several on this new list personally (not Fermat though :), and on my list I will positively include Paul Erdős, Saharon Shelah, and Timothy Gowers.
Also should be mentioned: Niels Henrik Abel; (5 August 1802 - 6 April 1829) was a Norwegian mathematician who made pioneering contributions in a variety of fields. His most famous single result is the first complete proof demonstrating the impossibility of solving the general quintic equation in radicals. This question was one of the outstanding open problems of his day, and had been unresolved for over 250 years. He was also an innovator in the field of elliptic functions, discoverer of Abelian functions. He made his discoveries while living in poverty and died at the age of 26 from tuberculosis.
He is a mathematician for the ages! One of the greatest mathematicians of all time! The problem is, it's hard to include many names in a 10 minute video. However, this video will be redone as a series of videos on the different eras of math Top 10 greatest ancient mathematicians Top 10 greatest middle age mathematicians Top 10 greatest modern era mathematicians etc.. So, I'll definitely cover him then.
They're many Great Mathematicians in Persian and the East! But as you can imagine it's very hard to consider everyone when there are only 10 spots. Nonetheless, I'll be making videos on individual mathematicians, so I'll definitely cover them all in future videos. One on Al-Khwarizmi will come in 4 weeks time
@@TheEssraw Why are you butt-hurt, because somebody told the truth? FYI, your people stole all sciences from Muslims and Arabs! When Arabic cities had electricity and running water, the whole Europe and USA lived in the dark you bunch of thieves
Most professional mathematicians would rate Gauss above Euler for the depth and influence of his work, although Euler published far more. I agree 100% with Riemann being at number 3. But Hilbert and Poincare should be in the top 10 for sure.
I agree. Euler might have been the last human on the planet to reasonably claim that they understood basically everything known to Western mathematics in his day...after that things got too specialized. But Gauss's influence was greater.

They are all Great Mathematicians! But it's not possible to include them all in the list 😆... Perhaps if I make part 2 in the future, I would include them
All of them are worthy of inclusion in the list. Euler... yeah, he was everywhere. His imprint is wide and deep. My own personal favorite is Ramanujan. His work is astonishing. Unlike the others his work seemed to come from nowhere. He seemed to tap into a deeper truth of the universe. Yes, others dabbled in those areas of math, but none got his results. We are still unravelling his work all these years later. BTW: I am not claiming he was the best, just that he is my favorite.
The honorable list might also include Fourier, Liouville, Lagrange, Moivre, Hardy, the Bernoullis, Ada Lovelace, Sonia Kovalevsky. Amalie Noether was her real name, Emmy for friends.
Ramanujan is great genius but he passed at his 32 but if he alive as long he may definitely be number one after aryabhatta.. he had no formal training in pure mathematics but he is one best mathematician in world bcoz his self study and his passion in math makes him great genius. At his 13 he is mastered in advanced trigonometry and he develop his own theorem..... Great genius
To include Ramanujan and not Von Neumann makes the list meaningless. It may sound like a 'jazzy list' but Von Neumann was the greatest mathematician of the 19th century. He started three entire math fields all by himself: game theory; C* algebras; numerical analysis. He was the father of the modern computer, the one with a CPU. And he was an integral part of the Manhatten project which led to his early death by cancer from watching a test. Well, that is my opinion.
@Ashwani Pandey looking at how you speak you're most likely a kid. And no ramanujan wasn't the greatest not even close just look at hilbert who exceelled at physics and mathematics both isn't even in the list.
Nah, its funny that a lot of you indians always talk about ramanujan and how he died young (32 years) but you forget that galois invented galois theory and group theory and he died 20 years old
@@ramakrishnanshankar2488 Ok, what exactly are his contributions apart from dazzling insights which magically appear throughout very modern mathematics and physics? He is like the soccer player who could have become the greatest of all time except he only scored like 3 goals in official competitions because he preferred to kick on the beach. Edit: also, he died well before his prime.

@@ramakrishnanshankar2488 how does he rank above Gauss (we’re talking about someone with enough accomplishments to his name to fill in a book with just anecdotes)
In our mathematics department, Gauss wins out. It would seem that professional mathematicians recognize that Gauss was deeper and changed mathematics in a more fundamental way than Euler. Euler, the most prolific for sure.
@@RealLifeTop10s Right. I think it also has to do with their relative era. Euler more than anyone else put the flesh on the bones of the Newtonian revolution and explored the true power of calculus. Everything else he turned his mind toward opened up - algebra, complex functions, number theory and he would often write a paper or two every week. It seemed like he could solve any problem. Gauss on the other hand was less "productive" but he re-framed most of mathematics and his big, big ideas shaped what was to come. Modern mathematics and its style was more due to Gauss than anyone else.
@@imankhandaker6103 Your take on Gauss is certainly an outlier. He loved mathematics as much as any great mathematician. He contributed to mathematics like no other. The fact that the elder Gauss didn't discover what Maxwell did may have many reasons, certainly your speculation on it is in no way authoritative.
Khayyam has been overlooked. He was the father of algebra and analytical geometry. He designed the Jalali calendar which is more accurate than the current calendar we are using.

Being an engineer and applyiing the fundamental principles founded by Newton, Euler, Bernoulli, Gauss, Taylor, Fourier, Laplace, Leibinitz, Rankine, Lord Kelvin. Names are endless , but all would struggle if Aryabhatt had not discovered the importance of Zero. I am honored to learn about them
@@lesliefigueras7708 in theory it is a rather easy notion to develop, I’m sure someone genius would have developed it, look at ramanujan he developed countless results with really no foundation or proofs
what are you talking about? Cardano was the founder of probability theory in Liber de ludo aleæ then Pacioli, Pascal,Fermat, Huygens, Montmort, Bernoulli, de Moivre, Laplace de Finetti, Savage, then Kolmogorov
There are no measurements to find the best mathematician, physician or composer. All you can say about a person is: "He/she is one of the most famous XXXXX and for sure a true genius." Anyone can deserve more?
Yes, me too. I was surprised a few I heard of didn't even make the honorable mention, like Bernoulli, who also created the "energy equation for fluid flow."
Do you know of Oliver Heaviside? He worked out the properties of long transmission lines so that they were distortionless, paving the way for international telecommunications. And developed the Heaviside operator - a La Place Transform but with worse notation. He didn't get the fame for the transmission line because someone else built it.
Great Mathematician! But as you can imagine it's very hard to consider everyone, when there are only 10 spots. Nonetheless, I'll be making videos on individual mathematicians, so I'll definitely consider them in future videos.
It is difficult to rank mathematicians considering all perspectives but much of this video is agreeable. Some names who should deserve a mention are Cauchy, Grothendieck, Abel, Jacobi. In fact, there are others too. But these four can compete for a place in the top ten. But nice going through it.
I hope you are smart enough to realise that Firstly, it's impossible to mention every single mathematician out there. Secondly, what you're saying is that the European Copied Everything The Vedas is just laughable nonsense. I'm not saying your Vedas mathematicians didn't do anything useful, they did. But people like Archimedes and Euclid who lived around the same time, did more than all of them combined. Thirdly, mathematics history and mathematical research is done in every region. Not just India! There are many great mathematicians from ancient China, Mongolia, Japan, Egypt and Babylon not mentioned here either.
To give you an idea of how different it was to be a kid in California in the 60s, I was taught that story about Freddy Gauss adding up the numbers as a kid in my 7th grade math class. Not sure if the kids today get that kind of exposure to one of the greatest ever.
Nice to hear about your experience, sir! The education system in general nowadays doesn't expose children to the same level of difficulty as they once did
these mathematicians would have very difficult time without Algebra and Indian-Arabic numbers. These two were introduced to the West by Persian scholar Al-khawrazmi. He invented Algebra (the word Algebra originated from the title of his book Al-Jibr). He also found the potential of Indian numbers which was later brought to the Europe by Fibonacci as Arabian numbers. Science enjoys numbers and Algebra because of him
It's interesting how the status of certain mathematicians has changed in the last fifty years. When I was a lad fifty years ago, I don't think there is any question Gauss would have been #1. I can't present any "Top 10 Mathematicians" articles from back then because top ten lists is mostly a modern invention, basically a shorthand created by pop culture to simplify our lives. So you didn't see top ten lists fifty years ago, with the exception, I suppose, of The Ten Commandments. But I digress. As I said, circa 1971 Gauss was definitely the #1 math dude, although we wouldn't have said "dude." Euler probably made the top five but wasn't talked about with the same reverence as he is today. Nobody outside of math circles mentioned Riemann - his work was too esoteric for the mainstream. Galois was well known, but for a bogus reason: his biography was largely fictionalized, sort of a "based on a true story" retelling where the events are made way more dramatic than actually happened. If anyone wants to read a truly gripping - and essentially fictitious - account of Galois' life, check out the chapter on Galois in "Men of Mathematics" by E.T. Bell. So which mathematicians would have made the top ten list fifty years ago? In roughly chronological order, this would be my guess: Archimedes, Descartes, Fermat, Pascal, Newton, Leibniz, Euler, Gauss, Galois. Hmm, I need one more... maybe Ramanujan? Or was he too ethnic for the time?
No matter when the list was made, it is not possible for the list to not contain Euler. Also, I think Cauchy is not getting the recognition he deserves.
@@DD-vc7fq Cauchy is like Riemann - brilliant mathematician but too esoteric for the mainstream. If there is a list for "Top 10 Mathematicians Almost Nobody Can Understand" both those guys are high on the list.
@@zanti4132 Actually I think Euler is one of those mathematicians that EVERYBODY can understand. He provided some of the simplest results, yet the most beautiful ones. Results like: e^i*pi + 1 = 0 V - E + F = 2 Euler line are all understandable to people who are even not into mathematics. On the other hand, Cauchy is the king of analysis. He established the rigour in analysis and only true mathematicians can honour that.
In the areas of math I was working, Euler's seemed to be everywhere. Overall, it's hard to argue against Gauss at #1. Newton would probably be #2 for me (with a bow to Liebnitz). Euler #3. Then things get muddy from there with many names being worthy. Ramanujan and Erdos are two that inspire me.
WHY???? Gauss's results are EXTREMELY EASY TO LEARN AND HAVE HUGE PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE, also in the field of PROBABILITY which is a pet area of mine. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?????
James Dow Allen has a nice ranking. His top 20 is: Isaac Newton, Archimedes, Carl F. Gauss, Leonhard Euler, Bernhard Riemann, Henri Poincaré, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, Euclid of Alexandria, David Hilbert, Gottfried W. Leibniz, Alexandre Grothendieck, Pierre de Fermat, Évariste Galois, John von Neumann, Srinivasa Ramanujan, René Descartes, Karl W. T. Weierstrass, Hermann K. H. Weyl, Peter G. L. Dirichlet, Georg Cantor.
I love how the tenor of these comments is so circumspect, measured, and respectful. Says something about the thought process of those involved. It would be interesting to come up with a list of, say, the 10 or 20 most important mathematical discoveries in history, based on their impact on life, and remove it from the personalities of their discoverers. For instance, the double-entry accounting system, a simple arithmetical arrangement of left and right sides summing to zero, is possibly the most widely daily-used mathematical application in the modern world. The math behind the periodic table and the way chemistry works is incalculably important for modern life. Etc.
One point about mathematics is that there is a very small audience, there are very few who know the true impact of the important results. How does one know about the greatest results/greatest mathematicians? Perhaps we need some of the current best mathematicians to provide input.
'Greatest' can be defined /ranked below in so many ways (IMHO) as follows: *Achievements - Newton (1st to be knighted & truly a multi-discipline Mathematician/Astronomer/Applied Scientist) *Range of expertise & Publications - Euler ('The Master of us all') *Range of expertise & Applications - Gauss (The Prince) & Leibniz (universal prodigy) *Creativity & exposition - Ramanujan, Erdos, Cauchy *Further Development & improvement - French (Larange, Laplace, Fourier) *Further Development & improvement - German (Riemann, Weierstrass, Jacobi) *Further Development & improvement - Russian (Lobachevsky, Chebyshev, Perelman) *Further Development & improvement - English/UK (Hamilton, Hardy, Cayley, Sylvester) *Mastery of several disciplines - Hilbert & Poincare > Mathematican/Engineer/Theoretical Physicist *Historical structure & direction - Greeks (Archimedes, Euclid, Pythagoras) & Arabic *Prodigious youth lost too quickly - Abel, Galois, Pascal *Current /modern greatest (eg. Tao, Grothendieck, Penrose, Wiles, Donaldson, ...) *Women - Definitely needs an ENTIRE separate list (eg. Hypatia, Germain, Noether, Kovalevskaya, Lovelace) Note the omission of 'mainly' Astronomers, Comp Sci, Engineers & Physicists (eg. Dirac, Herschel, Einstein, Hawking, Tesla, Mandelbrot, Neumann, Turing) Think they'd need a separate list as well. There's a so-called 'Super Scientist' class, but it normally includes the overall study of Science, so one could see names like Faraday, Maxwell, Galileo, Darwin, DaVinci, etc Forgive me guys, Im a historical Math/Scientific biographer, so went off on a little 'TANGENT' there...LOL! There are many interesting omissions but again this is IMHO, so hope no one is offended. Hope it was inspiring to influence others into researching their personal faves all the same. Isn't Mathematics simply beautiful?
Thank You You have layed out everything so perfectly well It's very hard to consider everyone when there are only 10 spots. I'll be making videos on individual mathematicians, so I'll cover the ones you mentioned in future videos
I would include Augustin-Louis Cauchy in the top 10 list. He published almost 800 scientific papers, almost a world record. But it is very difficult to compare mathematicians fron different ages. Euclid's work was the most important math work during roughly 2000 years. Euler's contribution was immense, it took 150 years to publish everything. Gauss started completely new areas in mathematics.
It’s very subjective, we all have our own lists, there are several absent on that list that could arguably be present, but I’m going to single out one in particular who would definitely be in my top 3: Cauchy. I do wonder how far up the list Galois may have come if he hadn’t tragically been killed at 20.
People who have done maths at an high level should know that Galois was simply insane. His theory is one of the most complex thing that has been discovered in maths, especially in the context of his time
Al-Khawarizmi was basically the father of algebra and by extension the trailblazer for much of the work of mathematicians seen here. Also personally I would move Isaac Newton a bit higher, maybe 3rd, but that's just my opinion. Great video :)
Great Mathematicians! But as you can imagine it's very hard to consider everyone when there are only 10 spots. Nonetheless, I'll be making videos on individual mathematicians, so I'll definitely cover them all in future videos. One on Al-Khwarizmi will come in 4 weeks time
I agree, looking back I would have pushed Newton a little higher. Also, I would have included some of the following Cauchy Al-Khawarizmi Gödel John von Neumann
Thank you for including Paul Erdos. The book about his life by Paul Hoffman " The Man Who Loved Numbers" is a treasure to read. From it I learned that no mater how much I struggle with higher concepts, and even some lower ones, there is joy in the love of numbers.
Great job sir !! but where is ALKHAWAREZMI ; the great mathmematician who first one discovered the assence of ALGEBRA and solve the equations with defernt degree , and established ALGHORITHMS - the basics of programing and coding sience today -

I am not a mathematician, but I once heard, not long ago, and by a PhD in maths, that the most creative and innovative mathematician of the 20th century, was, in his opinion, Alexandre Grothendiek. Once again, I am not a mathematician.

No Rowan Hamilton - the Greatest Irish mathematician?! The whole of classical and quantum mechanics is based on the Hamiltonian. He came up with Hypercomplex numbers, ordered pairs, quaternions, etc. His contributions to Mathematical Physics are incomparable.
For me Gauss was an absolute monster. He was born to help mankind leap several centuries forward. Euler is ubiquitous. The man breaths maths. Ramanujan was most enigmatic. It looked as if he had certain connection to some parallel world from where he could just generate some astounding mathematical equations and most of them being right. I believe his death was the biggest loss to maths.
Galois should be in the top 10 list and pretty high on this one. His theory is one of the most complex and not intuitive discover made by any mathematician, especially if you consider the age at which he discovered it.And that theory was crucial in Wiles's demonstration of the Fermat hypothesis Had the guy lived a longer life (he died very young), God knows all the other contributions he would have brought to maths
I agree 100% Galois was way ahead of his time and age. He probably could've been another Euler or Gauss. He is certainly worthy to be placed in the top 10 indeed.
I agree about Evariste Galois. He died in a stupid way, I don't know if the world would have been the same if he had lived much longer. I agree that is true for all young mathematicians such as Ramanujan for example.
Great video ( although a bit biased for the pre 20th century periods). I liked the honorary mentions. I definitely think John von Neumann deserves a place there. He was a pioneer in both pure and applied sciences. Von Neumann made major contributions to many fields, including mathematics (foundations of mathematics, functional analysis, ergodic theory, group theory, representation theory, operator algebras, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis), physics (quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics, and quantum statistical mechanics), economics (game theory), computing (Von Neumann architecture, linear programming, self-replicating machines, stochastic computing), and statistics. He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics in the development of functional analysis, and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer.
Also, you're absolutely correct about John von Neumann. In fact made a separate video for him. Looking back I certainly would have included Cauchy, John von Neumann and Gödel in the top 10.
Interestingly John von Neumann was one of the few friends Edward Teller kept after testifying against letting Oppenheimer keep his security clearance. Science was political even back then.
I made a video of John von Neumann. I included interview footage of John von Neumann, including with Edward Teller It's at the end of the video, so you can skip to that part if you wish th-cam.com/video/KkZHZJQuZNY/w-d-xo.html

10:30 Finally, Gerolamo Cardano! You should also mention his most known achievements, namely the exact solution to the general cubic and quartic equation by radicals, and detecting complex numbers. In this context, you should also present Raffaele Bombelli (1526 - 1572), who was the first to establish rules for calculating with complex numbers. In particular, Leibniz and Euler praised Bombelli's achievements, too.
@@RealLifeTop10s Bombelli published "L' Algebra Opera" in Italian language in 1572 and 1579. You can find book covers of it using image search on the net. It looks similar to Cardano's "Ars Magna" from 1545 and further improves the methods presented there. E.g. it improves Ferrari's method of solving the general quartic, by eliminating the need for elimination of the third power x^3 from the quartic prior to solving the so-called cubic resolvent. Also, Bombelli establishes rules for calculating with complex numbers, which Cardano had stumbled upon when solving cubics.

Great Video! I think Ramanujan should be higher, because he's the only one who learn mathematics mostly by himself. In my opinion, Cantor is the greatest ever - the founder of set theory, considered today the basics of all of mathematics. Also, you forgot about Godel, who's incompleteness theorems are shocking and very important result in math and logic.
as a '84 graduate of UCCS here in colorado i was on the lookout for Maxwell. his work to create those 3 famous equations for div , grad and curl led to EE students uncoiling their mental dna to grapple with new understandings
No 1: Euler...without a doubt. And the most astounding things he discovered happened at a time when he was nearly blind (cataracts). Even after he died, folks had to go through so many papers he left behind, it took another generation to figure out what was going on in his head! No 2: Gauss. His "few but ripe" motto had a great impact on math. He may have revealed less papers than Euler but whatever he came up with had a profound impact on math/science as a whole. No 3 and the rest...that's up for interpretation.
@@goodman4093 I am not downplaying Newton. But Newton was "heavy" in Calculus. Euler was far more prolific in that regard. Also, if that matters, Newton was actually more a physicist. He is typically listed in the top 10 though.
FIBONACCI, AL BIRUNI, AL MAGERIT, AL JUARITMI, JORGE JUAN, ESCUELA DE SALAMANCA (CALENDARIO GREGORIANO), JERONIMO DE AYANZ, TORRES QUEVEDO, ALL OF THEM DESERVES TOO A PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICIAN.
Euler is surely the most influential; the mathematician's mathematician. But to put it in your words. Ramanujan too was a genie, but bottled early to all of our misfortune. In the next fifty years, not just mathematics but high-end technology would unearth more about him. He is yet to be discovered completely.
I like the way he sets up 2 series, compares them and makes almost all the terms disappear, and leave a residual equation which happens to solve the problem posed. I can't think like that, only admire.
thanks for the interesting presentation. Including the honorable mentions, you covered most mathematicians I know. I was pleased, being Greek, to see two in the top ten and several others in the mentions. Archimedes was actually more of a brilliant engineer. I don't know who decided the ranking, maybe Gauss and not Euler should be no 1, but I defer to the experts. RIEMANN with his non-Euclidean Geometry enabled Einstein to explain the universe, which cannot done with Euclidean. Euclid is actually easy to read, as are Archimedes' results, but with Ramanujan, you keep saying "How in the world did he think of that!"
Really glad you enjoyed it sir! This video is 2 years old, I've learned a lot from the comments. Looking back I would have placed Newton in the top 4 and likely not include Ramanujan, Descartes and Fermat in the top 10. instead would have any 3 of the following... Hilbert, von Neumann, Cauchy, Fourier, Gödel, Grothendieck and Abel.
I don't think there's ever the greatest mathematician ,like how do you compare their contribution some mathematician such as Grothendieck,serre,deligne,scholze,hironaka,S.mori,K.kodaira have equally huge contribution Fermat was just the person who came up with the idea,not the one who working on it, I'm kinda sad to those people who working on the theory of modular elliptic curve that they don't get enough recognition because of the big name of Fermat.
This is even true when it comes to Nobel prizes for instance Rosalind Franklin didn't get one for the discovery of the structure of DNA but Crick, Watson and Wilkins did
Let's wait a few hundred years and see how important and relevant the contributions of those mathematicians are. Fermat's theorem on find extrema is a basic result in first semester calculus.

Gauss was number 1, not Euler. And Newton should not be #8. In my own opinion, calculus is the single greatest discovery in human history, in any branch of knowledge, and since Newton made groundbreaking discoveries regarding infinitesimal ideas, he deserves a better place on the list, maybe 3 or 4.

Aryabhata Born: (476 AD, Pataliputra) names the first 10 decimal places and gives algorithms for obtaining square and cubic roots, using the decimal number system. Then he treats geometric measurements-employing 62,832/20,000 (= 3.1416) for π, very close to the actual value 3.14159-and develops properties of similar right-angled triangles and of two intersecting circles. Using the Pythagorean theorem, he obtained one of the two methods for constructing his table of sines. He also realized that second-order sine difference is proportional to sine. Mathematical series, quadratic equations, compound interest (involving a quadratic equation), proportions (ratios), and the solution of various linear equations are among the arithmetic and algebraic topics included. Aryabhata’s general solution for linear indeterminate equations, which Bhaskara I called kuttakara (“pulverizer”), consisted of breaking the problem down into new problems with successively smaller coefficients-essentially the Euclidean algorithm and related to the method of continued fractions. With Kala-kriya Aryabhata turned to astronomy-in particular, treating planetary motion along the ecliptic. The topics include definitions of various units of time, eccentric and epicyclic models of planetary motion (see Hipparchus for earlier Greek models), planetary longitude corrections for different terrestrial locations, and a theory of “lords of the hours and days” (an astrological concept used for determining propitious times for action). Aryabhatiya ends with spherical astronomy in Gola, where he applied plane trigonometry to spherical geometry by projecting points and lines on the surface of a sphere onto appropriate planes. Topics include prediction of solar and lunar eclipses and an explicit statement that the apparent westward motion of the stars is due to the spherical Earth’s rotation about its axis. Aryabhata also correctly ascribed the luminosity of the Moon and planets to reflected sunlight.
Our mathematics department at Arizona State University pretty much settled on Gauss as being the greatest. We also believe John Nash, 1928-2015, merits consideration (honorable mention at least). PS: There are several typos. But the biggest I saw was 5:13 "pie" instead of "pi".
PAUL ERDÖS WAS THEE GREATEST MATHEMATICIAN OF ALL TIME. Both his parents were math professors in his native Hungary. It has been documented that by the time he was three years old - if you told him how old you were he could caluculate (IN HIS HEAD) the number of minutes you had lived!

May I offer a couple of suggestions for an updated version, or an expanded top 20 for this year :) I think one of the most under-respected mathematicians/ physicist is the Scotsman James Clerk Maxwell. Also, Brahmagupta from India long time ago deserves more than a mention.
They can be no such list without the phenomenal Euler who wrote mathematics as effortlessly as most men breathe. The most prolific Mathematician! Though Gauss is my first on my list. The prince of Mathematics.
Hilbert, Poincare, Lagrange, Neumann, Weierstrass, Abel, Cantor, Jacobi, Galois, Godel, Dirichlet, Cauchy, Erdos, Bernoulli, Laplace, Fourier to mention few that could take number 10.
Fourier, Godel, Bhaskara, Von Neuman, Various Islamic Golden Age Mathematicians, Diophantus, Various Babylonian, Chinese, Egyptian and Paleo American Mathematicians from Meso America. Good list. Kudos

Paul Dirac will always be the master of mathematics. He brought together all the fundamental proofs of particle physics. No other mathematician has ever done that.
My opinion is that it would be fairer to have three mathematicians in every position in order to raise fewer objections. First position Archimedes-Gauss-Newton, second position Euler-Riemann-Galois, ...
Calculus, Newtonian Mechanics, and fundamental physics princples including gravitational theory - it is hard to rate any mathematician higher than Sir Isaac.
Don't underestimate Riemann as mere student of Gauss. It is well documented that Gauss was the learner, Riemann the teacher. Gauss was the bridge between classical and modern mathematics, Riemann started pretty much all modern mathematics.
@@billcook4768 Go no further than to the lecture of Riemann with the title "On the hypotheses that lie at the foundation of geometry" going far beyond what Gauss considered his secret weapon of expansion of mathematics which he didn't publish because it was too much out there.

The GREAT MATHEMATICAL GENIUSES of Marius Sophus Lie, Felix Klein, Agustin Louis Baron de Cauchy, Charles Hermite, Kurt Godel, Georg Ferdinand Frobenius, Karl Wierstrass, Karl Gustav Jacob Jacobi and Niels Henrik Abel MUST be mentioned here
The list is impressive and no doubt about abilities of these mathematicians. However, the real foundation of mathematics as a subject and early mathematicians hailed from India. All those basic mathematics including quadratic equation and calculus has influenced the modern day mathematicians a lot. The great Einstein himself has acknowledged this. Plagiarism can't be ruled out.
@@RealLifeTop10s unfortunate thing is many indians are not aware of mathematicians like madhava. Calculus was invented by indians much before newton. Some western people agree about this thing. Unfortunate thing is they did not use those ideas and make great progress. European mathematicians did amazing things.

Also should be mentioned: Niels Henrik Abel; (5 August 1802 - 6 April 1829) was a Norwegian mathematician who made pioneering contributions in a variety of fields. His most famous single result is the first complete proof demonstrating the impossibility of solving the general quintic equation in radicals. This question was one of the outstanding open problems of his day, and had been unresolved for over 250 years. He was also an innovator in the field of elliptic functions, discoverer of Abelian functions. He made his discoveries while living in poverty and died at the age of 26 from tuberculosis.

Most professional mathematicians would rate Gauss above Euler for the depth and influence of his work, although Euler published far more. I agree 100% with Riemann being at number 3.
But Hilbert and Poincare should be in the top 10 for sure.
I agree. Euler might have been the last human on the planet to reasonably claim that they understood basically everything known to Western mathematics in his day...after that things got too specialized. But Gauss's influence was greater.
I'm not a pro. mathematician, but for me it's too close to call.

All of them are worthy of inclusion in the list. Euler... yeah, he was everywhere. His imprint is wide and deep. My own personal favorite is Ramanujan. His work is astonishing. Unlike the others his work seemed to come from nowhere. He seemed to tap into a deeper truth of the universe. Yes, others dabbled in those areas of math, but none got his results. We are still unravelling his work all these years later. BTW: I am not claiming he was the best, just that he is my favorite.
I'm completely with you on this one. It's a real shame he died so young.
Yes bro, love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳india

He is one of my favourite mathematicians too
Ramanujan may be the most enigmatic of all of them, if those top 10 knew about the work of Ramanujan, they would explode wondering WTF!
The honorable list might also include Fourier, Liouville, Lagrange, Moivre, Hardy, the Bernoullis, Ada Lovelace, Sonia Kovalevsky. Amalie Noether was her real name, Emmy for friends.
All fabulous names 💯🔥
Ramanujan is great genius but he passed at his 32 but if he alive as long he may definitely be number one after aryabhatta.. he had no formal training in pure mathematics but he is one best mathematician in world bcoz his self study and his passion in math makes him great genius. At his 13 he is mastered in advanced trigonometry and he develop his own theorem..... Great genius
Ramanujan is a gem in mathematics 💎
To include Ramanujan and not Von Neumann makes the list meaningless. It may sound like a 'jazzy list' but Von Neumann was the greatest mathematician of the 19th century. He started three entire math fields all by himself: game theory; C* algebras; numerical analysis. He was the father of the modern computer, the one with a CPU. And he was an integral part of the Manhatten project which led to his early death by cancer from watching a test. Well, that is my opinion.
@Henry Wolkowicz
You're absolutely correct! In fact in hindsight, I would have included Cauchy, von Neumann and Gödel in the top 10.
@Ashwani Pandey looking at how you speak you're most likely a kid. And no ramanujan wasn't the greatest not even close just look at hilbert who exceelled at physics and mathematics both isn't even in the list.
Nah, its funny that a lot of you indians always talk about ramanujan and how he died young (32 years) but you forget that galois invented galois theory and group theory and he died 20 years old

Well, every ranking is subjective I guess.
Ramanujan was the greatest of them all. Trouble is he was not from a western country.

@@ramakrishnanshankar2488 how does he rank above Gauss (we’re talking about someone with enough accomplishments to his name to fill in a book with just anecdotes)
In our mathematics department, Gauss wins out. It would seem that professional mathematicians recognize that Gauss was deeper and changed mathematics in a more fundamental way than Euler. Euler, the most prolific for sure.
It was very difficult to pick between Euler and Gauss for the top spot
@@RealLifeTop10s Right. I think it also has to do with their relative era. Euler more than anyone else put the flesh on the bones of the Newtonian revolution and explored the true power of calculus. Everything else he turned his mind toward opened up - algebra, complex functions, number theory and he would often write a paper or two every week. It seemed like he could solve any problem. Gauss on the other hand was less "productive" but he re-framed most of mathematics and his big, big ideas shaped what was to come. Modern mathematics and its style was more due to Gauss than anyone else.
Gauss was an artist at his trade.
@@imankhandaker6103 Your take on Gauss is certainly an outlier. He loved mathematics as much as any great mathematician. He contributed to mathematics like no other. The fact that the elder Gauss didn't discover what Maxwell did may have many reasons, certainly your speculation on it is in no way authoritative.

It's interesting how the status of certain mathematicians has changed in the last fifty years. When I was a lad fifty years ago, I don't think there is any question Gauss would have been #1. I can't present any "Top 10 Mathematicians" articles from back then because top ten lists is mostly a modern invention, basically a shorthand created by pop culture to simplify our lives. So you didn't see top ten lists fifty years ago, with the exception, I suppose, of The Ten Commandments. But I digress.
As I said, circa 1971 Gauss was definitely the #1 math dude, although we wouldn't have said "dude." Euler probably made the top five but wasn't talked about with the same reverence as he is today. Nobody outside of math circles mentioned Riemann - his work was too esoteric for the mainstream. Galois was well known, but for a bogus reason: his biography was largely fictionalized, sort of a "based on a true story" retelling where the events are made way more dramatic than actually happened. If anyone wants to read a truly gripping - and essentially fictitious - account of Galois' life, check out the chapter on Galois in "Men of Mathematics" by E.T. Bell.
So which mathematicians would have made the top ten list fifty years ago? In roughly chronological order, this would be my guess: Archimedes, Descartes, Fermat, Pascal, Newton, Leibniz, Euler, Gauss, Galois. Hmm, I need one more... maybe Ramanujan? Or was he too ethnic for the time?
It's really nice to hear your point view, sir! Amazing how time has flown by and how things have changed in the last 50 years
No matter when the list was made, it is not possible for the list to not contain Euler. Also, I think Cauchy is not getting the recognition he deserves.
@@DD-vc7fq Cauchy is like Riemann - brilliant mathematician but too esoteric for the mainstream. If there is a list for "Top 10 Mathematicians Almost Nobody Can Understand" both those guys are high on the list.
@@zanti4132 Actually I think Euler is one of those mathematicians that EVERYBODY can understand. He provided some of the simplest results, yet the most beautiful ones. Results like:
e^i*pi + 1 = 0
V - E + F = 2
Euler line
are all understandable to people who are even not into mathematics.
On the other hand, Cauchy is the king of analysis. He established the rigour in analysis and only true mathematicians can honour that.
In the areas of math I was working, Euler's seemed to be everywhere. Overall, it's hard to argue against Gauss at #1. Newton would probably be #2 for me (with a bow to Liebnitz). Euler #3. Then things get muddy from there with many names being worthy. Ramanujan and Erdos are two that inspire me.
Gauss created suffering for everyone learning Mathematics, but Euler, Euler created amazement.
😆
WHY???? Gauss's results are EXTREMELY EASY TO LEARN AND HAVE HUGE PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE, also in the field of PROBABILITY which is a pet area of mine. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?????
I don't think ramanujan should be on this list if we're considering contributions....
James Dow Allen has a nice ranking. His top 20 is: Isaac Newton, Archimedes, Carl F. Gauss, Leonhard Euler, Bernhard Riemann, Henri Poincaré, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, Euclid of Alexandria, David Hilbert, Gottfried W. Leibniz, Alexandre Grothendieck, Pierre de Fermat, Évariste Galois, John von Neumann, Srinivasa Ramanujan, René Descartes, Karl W. T. Weierstrass, Hermann K. H. Weyl, Peter G. L. Dirichlet, Georg Cantor.
Very nice!
I think this list is closer to the truth. Newton's work is incomparable. We'd have nothing without him.
I like that they include Weierstrass, Dirichlet and Weil.
I love how the tenor of these comments is so circumspect, measured, and respectful. Says something about the thought process of those involved. It would be interesting to come up with a list of, say, the 10 or 20 most important mathematical discoveries in history, based on their impact on life, and remove it from the personalities of their discoverers. For instance, the double-entry accounting system, a simple arithmetical arrangement of left and right sides summing to zero, is possibly the most widely daily-used mathematical application in the modern world. The math behind the periodic table and the way chemistry works is incalculably important for modern life. Etc.
That's a nice idea for a future video!
One point about mathematics is that there is a very small audience, there are very few who know the true impact of the important results. How does one know about the greatest results/greatest mathematicians? Perhaps we need some of the current best mathematicians to provide input.

*Range of expertise & Publications - Euler ('The Master of us all')
*Range of expertise & Applications - Gauss (The Prince) & Leibniz (universal prodigy)
*Creativity & exposition - Ramanujan, Erdos, Cauchy
*Further Development & improvement - French (Larange, Laplace, Fourier)
*Further Development & improvement - German (Riemann, Weierstrass, Jacobi)
*Further Development & improvement - Russian (Lobachevsky, Chebyshev, Perelman)
*Further Development & improvement - English/UK (Hamilton, Hardy, Cayley, Sylvester)
*Mastery of several disciplines - Hilbert & Poincare > Mathematican/Engineer/Theoretical Physicist
*Historical structure & direction - Greeks (Archimedes, Euclid, Pythagoras) & Arabic
*Prodigious youth lost too quickly - Abel, Galois, Pascal
*Current /modern greatest (eg. Tao, Grothendieck, Penrose, Wiles, Donaldson, ...)
*Women - Definitely needs an ENTIRE separate list (eg. Hypatia, Germain, Noether, Kovalevskaya, Lovelace)
Note the omission of 'mainly' Astronomers, Comp Sci, Engineers & Physicists (eg. Dirac, Herschel, Einstein, Hawking, Tesla, Mandelbrot, Neumann, Turing)
Think they'd need a separate list as well.
There's a so-called 'Super Scientist' class, but it normally includes the overall study of Science, so one could see names like Faraday, Maxwell, Galileo, Darwin, DaVinci, etc
Forgive me guys, Im a historical Math/Scientific biographer, so went off on a little 'TANGENT' there...LOL!

He is a great physicist! But the problem is it's very hard to include my people in a 10 minute video
Hamilton also invented Guinnes Stout...
@@aaronaragon7838 Hamilton was hammered, when he made that claim. 😎
For me Gauss was an absolute monster. He was born to help mankind leap several centuries forward.
Euler is ubiquitous. The man breaths maths.
Ramanujan was most enigmatic. It looked as if he had certain connection to some parallel world from where he could just generate some astounding mathematical equations and most of them being right. I believe his death was the biggest loss to maths.
I seem to agree for one reason: how he unreasonably got his results via a Goddess 😂
💯
Galois should be in the top 10 list and pretty high on this one.
His theory is one of the most complex and not intuitive discover made by any mathematician, especially if you consider the age at which he discovered it.And that theory was crucial in Wiles's demonstration of the Fermat hypothesis
Had the guy lived a longer life (he died very young), God knows all the other contributions he would have brought to maths
I agree 100% Galois was way ahead of his time and age. He probably could've been another Euler or Gauss. He is certainly worthy to be placed in the top 10 indeed.
Galois is the smartest of all along with Ramanujan, but because they died so young - it's hard to decide if they should be part of the greatest 10
Right, Galois's theory is in another "dimension" comparing to his time and age!
Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem depended on the results of over 20 mathematicians before him I believe including Galois.
I agree about Evariste Galois. He died in a stupid way, I don't know if the world would have been the same if he had lived much longer. I agree that is true for all young mathematicians such as Ramanujan for example.
Great video ( although a bit biased for the pre 20th century periods). I liked the honorary mentions. I definitely think John von Neumann deserves a place there. He was a pioneer in both pure and applied sciences.
Von Neumann made major contributions to many fields, including mathematics (foundations of mathematics, functional analysis, ergodic theory, group theory, representation theory, operator algebras, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis), physics (quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics, and quantum statistical mechanics), economics (game theory), computing (Von Neumann architecture, linear programming, self-replicating machines, stochastic computing), and statistics. He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics in the development of functional analysis, and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer.
Thank you so much ❤️!!!
Really appreciate it
Also, you're absolutely correct about John von Neumann. In fact made a separate video for him.
Looking back I certainly would have included Cauchy, John von Neumann and Gödel in the top 10.
John von Neumann for sure. l'd have written "logic and foundations" along with your "topoology"
Interestingly John von Neumann was one of the few friends Edward Teller kept after testifying against letting Oppenheimer keep his security clearance. Science was political even back then.
I made a video of John von Neumann. I included interview footage of John von Neumann, including with Edward Teller
It's at the end of the video, so you can skip to that part if you wish

shridhara-charya is not such a popular mathematician but formula is given by him( -b+-√b²-4ac)/2a is incredibly useful in quadratic
I love your passion for maths bro! But the quadratic equation was found by many cultures ( Indians, Chinese, Europeans and Persians etc). The cubic equation was very hard to crack... I would describe it as a quantum leap in maths
Check it out: th-cam.com/video/cUzklzVXJwo/w-d-xo.html
@@RealLifeTop10s Actually it is not hard at all, it is a one-step (and simple) trick. What WAS really difficult is to prove that there is no such formula for polynomial equations of degree > 4.
Well yeah... but compared to the quadratic equation... mathematicians over time took more time to find the solution to a cubic equation
I completely agree with your last sentence
Never thought I'd see Newton rank at #8 on any list.
I agree, I should've placed him higher up
You forgot to mention the Mathematician brought revolution in Modern Mathematics.
Alexander Grothendieck and Andrey Kolmogorov.
Both are Great Mathematicians! But as you can imagine it's very hard to consider everyone when there are only 10 spots. Nonetheless, I'll be making videos on individual mathematicians, so I'll definitely cover them all in future videos.
I think Ramanujan should be in top as Hardy said that if he alive for 50-60 more year then he can easily give so much that Mathematician never imagined.
True, he would have discovered a lot more had he lived longer
Even at #1 Euler was still under-rated.
Euler was a Gem for Mathematics
-:) I thought I was an Euler fan but you over took me!
@@eipplusone3395 I was more of an Oilers fan than most, but they left Houston for Tennessee and I didn't go with them. By contrast, I'm not a Houston Texans fan.
10:30 Finally, Gerolamo Cardano! You should also mention his most known achievements, namely the exact solution to the general cubic and quartic equation by radicals, and detecting complex numbers. In this context, you should also present Raffaele Bombelli (1526 - 1572), who was the first to establish rules for calculating with complex numbers. In particular, Leibniz and Euler praised Bombelli's achievements, too.
Damn,
I actually never heard of Bombelli
Should do a video on him
@@RealLifeTop10s Bombelli published "L' Algebra Opera" in Italian language in 1572 and 1579. You can find book covers of it using image search on the net. It looks similar to Cardano's "Ars Magna" from 1545 and further improves the methods presented there. E.g. it improves Ferrari's method of solving the general quartic, by eliminating the need for elimination of the third power x^3 from the quartic prior to solving the so-called cubic resolvent. Also, Bombelli establishes rules for calculating with complex numbers, which Cardano had stumbled upon when solving cubics.
You didn’t mention Omar Khayyam, the Persian polymath, mathematician, astronomer, historian, philosopher, and poet.
Great Mathematician! But as you can imagine it's very hard to consider everyone, when there are only 10 spots. Nonetheless, I'll be making videos on individual mathematicians, so I'll definitely consider him in future videos.
Newton should have been higher up in the list.
Yeah, looking back I would have pushed him higher up the list
Where was Joseph Fourier? In truth, there have been a large number of people who have contributed to mathematics. Any list of the top 10 is bound to miss out some notable contributions.
He's a great mathematician! But it's very hard to consider everyone when there are only 10 spots. Nonetheless, I'll be making videos on individual mathematicians, so I'll definitely cover him then.
Great Video! I think Ramanujan should be higher, because he's the only one who learn mathematics mostly by himself. In my opinion, Cantor is the greatest ever - the founder of set theory, considered today the basics of all of mathematics. Also, you forgot about Godel, who's incompleteness theorems are shocking and very important result in math and logic.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Glad you enjoy the video!
as a '84 graduate of UCCS here in colorado i was on the lookout for Maxwell. his work to create those 3 famous equations
for div , grad and curl led to EE students uncoiling their mental dna to grapple with new understandings
Nice 🙂 👍
No 1: Euler...without a doubt. And the most astounding things he discovered happened at a time when he was nearly blind (cataracts). Even after he died, folks had to go through so many papers he left behind, it took another generation to figure out what was going on in his head! No 2: Gauss. His "few but ripe" motto had a great impact on math. He may have revealed less papers than Euler but whatever he came up with had a profound impact on math/science as a whole. No 3 and the rest...that's up for interpretation.
Well Said! Euler and Gauss are hands down top 2 the rest is up for interpretation
So Newton looks like a joke? The man who single handedly invented mathematics to solve his problems
@@goodman4093 I am not downplaying Newton. But Newton was "heavy" in Calculus. Euler was far more prolific in that regard. Also, if that matters, Newton was actually more a physicist. He is typically listed in the top 10 though.
Great job! Thx for sharing. Mathematicians/math history is awesome!
Thank You So Much!!! So Glad You Liked it!🙂
John von Neumann
Good one🙌
The suggested subtitle of "Number 3" should be changed to "Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann".
FIBONACCI, AL BIRUNI, AL MAGERIT, AL JUARITMI, JORGE JUAN, ESCUELA DE SALAMANCA (CALENDARIO GREGORIANO), JERONIMO DE AYANZ, TORRES QUEVEDO, ALL OF THEM DESERVES TOO A PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICIAN.
Absolutely 💯
This video is going to be redone
Euler is a genie 🧞♂️
🙌
Euler is surely the most influential; the mathematician's mathematician. But to put it in your words. Ramanujan too was a genie, but bottled early to all of our misfortune. In the next fifty years, not just mathematics but high-end technology would unearth more about him. He is yet to be discovered completely.
I like the way he sets up 2 series, compares them and makes almost all the terms disappear, and leave a residual equation which happens to solve the problem posed. I can't think like that, only admire.
Great compilation , great work. We are lucky to have these greats lived on this very planet.
Thank you So Much, Sir!
And yes indeed We are lucky to have these greats lived on this very planet.
thanks for the interesting presentation. Including the honorable mentions, you covered most mathematicians I know. I was pleased, being Greek, to see two in the top ten and several others in the mentions. Archimedes was actually more of a brilliant engineer. I don't know who decided the ranking, maybe Gauss and not Euler should be no 1, but I defer to the experts. RIEMANN with his non-Euclidean Geometry enabled Einstein to explain the universe, which cannot done with Euclidean. Euclid is actually easy to read, as are Archimedes' results, but with Ramanujan, you keep saying "How in the world did he think of that!"
Really glad you enjoyed it sir!
This video is 2 years old, I've learned a lot from the comments. Looking back I would have placed Newton in the top 4 and likely not include Ramanujan, Descartes and Fermat in the top 10. instead would have any 3 of the following... Hilbert, von Neumann, Cauchy, Fourier, Gödel, Grothendieck and Abel.
I think you should have left Ramanujan among the honourable mentions.
You're correct 💯🔥
I wish we had a time machine. Can you imagine putting all these guys together at Princeton for a few years?
10 guys in one room? Newton would definitely like it.
Just like the Solvay conference
I don't think there's ever the greatest mathematician ,like how do you compare their contribution some mathematician such as Grothendieck,serre,deligne,scholze,hironaka,S.mori,K.kodaira have equally huge contribution Fermat was just the person who came up with the idea,not the one who working on it, I'm kinda sad to those people who working on the theory of modular elliptic curve that they don't get enough recognition because of the big name of Fermat.
This is even true when it comes to Nobel prizes for instance Rosalind Franklin didn't get one for the discovery of the structure of DNA but Crick, Watson and Wilkins did
Exactly !
Let's wait a few hundred years and see how important and relevant the contributions of those mathematicians are. Fermat's theorem on find extrema is a basic result in first semester calculus.
Nice video, however it is beyond me how Alexander Grothendieck and Kurt Gödel could possibly be not part of this list.
Thank you so much!

Gauss was number 1, not Euler. And Newton should not be #8. In my own opinion, calculus is the single greatest discovery in human history, in any branch of knowledge, and since Newton made groundbreaking discoveries regarding infinitesimal ideas, he deserves a better place on the list, maybe 3 or 4.
Nice to hear your thoughts on this. It was very hard for me to decide the top spot between Euler and Gauss. And yeah Calculus is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. Sir Isaac Newton was a gem 💎 for math and physics!
Sorry, but Ramanujen dosn't make it to the top 20.
Where is Fibonacci,Fourier,Cauchy etc. ?

Eratosthenes calculated Earth's circumference in the third century BC
Leonhard Euler is my most favourite mathematician undoubtedly.
Same 😊
Katherine Johnson deserves to be mentioned here. She was a brilliant NASA mathematician, who helped save Apollo 13, preventing it from becoming a tragedy.
Well said
She definitely does deserve to be mentioned
When it comes to ranking, of cars, celebrities, mathematicians, or anything else, we can never agree. This is a beautiful video with excellent pictures, but the pronunciation of names leaves much to be desired. Thanks.
Thank you so much 😊!
To put the things in context, the main criterium is how much of a intellectual breakthrough has been achieved in the existing knowledge of the time.
Yep💯🔥
Aryabhata Born: (476 AD, Pataliputra) names the first 10 decimal places and gives algorithms for obtaining square and cubic roots, using the decimal number system. Then he treats geometric measurements-employing 62,832/20,000 (= 3.1416) for π, very close to the actual value 3.14159-and develops properties of similar right-angled triangles and of two intersecting circles. Using the Pythagorean theorem, he obtained one of the two methods for constructing his table of sines. He also realized that second-order sine difference is proportional to sine. Mathematical series, quadratic equations, compound interest (involving a quadratic equation), proportions (ratios), and the solution of various linear equations are among the arithmetic and algebraic topics included. Aryabhata’s general solution for linear indeterminate equations, which Bhaskara I called kuttakara (“pulverizer”), consisted of breaking the problem down into new problems with successively smaller coefficients-essentially the Euclidean algorithm and related to the method of continued fractions.
With Kala-kriya Aryabhata turned to astronomy-in particular, treating planetary motion along the ecliptic. The topics include definitions of various units of time, eccentric and epicyclic models of planetary motion (see Hipparchus for earlier Greek models), planetary longitude corrections for different terrestrial locations, and a theory of “lords of the hours and days” (an astrological concept used for determining propitious times for action).
Aryabhatiya ends with spherical astronomy in Gola, where he applied plane trigonometry to spherical geometry by projecting points and lines on the surface of a sphere onto appropriate planes. Topics include prediction of solar and lunar eclipses and an explicit statement that the apparent westward motion of the stars is due to the spherical Earth’s rotation about its axis. Aryabhata also correctly ascribed the luminosity of the Moon and planets to reflected sunlight.
🥱🥱🥱
Our mathematics department at Arizona State University pretty much settled on Gauss as being the greatest. We also believe John Nash, 1928-2015, merits consideration (honorable mention at least).
PS: There are several typos. But the biggest I saw was 5:13 "pie" instead of "pi".
I respect your departments opinion on Gauss being over Euler. And yeah John Nash does deserve a mention you're absolutely right.
My list: 1. Euler. 2. NEwton. 3 Gauss, 4. Lagrange. 5. Archimedes. 6. Fermat. 7. David Hilbert. 8. Cantor. 9. Peano. 10. Emily Noether....And 10 FRENCH MATHEMATICIANS more for the top20
That's a very solid top 10 you've made🔥🔥🔥. France had a myriad of great mathematicians
@It's oblivion Indeed...But put Emily Noether...A brilliant mathematician
I like this list. Nevertheless please give her correct name... Emmy Noether.
Anyone who knows maths should also know India's Srinivasa Ramanujan. His works are still deciphered...
My ex wife could have been on this list, she just put two and two together and ended up with the gold mine. I got the shaft.

PAUL ERDÖS WAS THEE GREATEST MATHEMATICIAN OF ALL TIME. Both his parents were math professors in his native Hungary. It has been documented that by the time he was three years old - if you told him how old you were he could caluculate (IN HIS HEAD) the number of minutes you had lived!

Lovely video and very informative, thankyou.
May I offer a couple of suggestions for an updated version, or an expanded top 20 for this year :)
I think one of the most under-respected mathematicians/ physicist is the Scotsman James Clerk Maxwell. Also, Brahmagupta from India long time ago deserves more than a mention.

i've always thought euler was under-rated. good that you have him in the top spot; however, i would have mentioned euler's identity, and more.
Thank you Tom!
Euler was a great man!
They can be no such list without the phenomenal Euler who wrote mathematics as effortlessly as most men breathe. The most prolific Mathematician! Though Gauss is my first on my list. The prince of Mathematics.
Hilbert, Poincare, Lagrange, Neumann, Weierstrass, Abel, Cantor, Jacobi, Galois, Godel, Dirichlet, Cauchy, Erdos, Bernoulli, Laplace, Fourier to mention few that could take number 10.
You're absolutely right!
looking back I would have surely added Cauchy, Gödel and Von Neumann to the top 10 of this video.

The list is impressive and no doubt about abilities of these mathematicians. However, the real foundation of mathematics as a subject and early mathematicians hailed from India. All those basic mathematics including quadratic equation and calculus has influenced the modern day mathematicians a lot. The great Einstein himself has acknowledged this. Plagiarism can't be ruled out.

@@RealLifeTop10s unfortunate thing is many indians are not aware of mathematicians like madhava. Calculus was invented by indians much before newton. Some western people agree about this thing.
