G

Evariste Galois (1811-1832)

  • Born in France.
  • He suggested the theory of groups of substitutions, later pursued by others.
Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855)

  • Born in Germany.
  • He discovered that a regular 17-sided polygon can be constructed with compass and straightedge.
  • He was able as a child to add all the numbers from 1 to 100 in his head by using a simple procedure.
  • He provided a proof of the theorem that every integral rational algebraic function can be decomposed into real factors of the first and second degree.
Sophie Germain (1776-1831)

  • Born in France.
  • In pure mathematics, she did work in number theory.
  • In applied mathematics, she solved problems in acoustics and elasticity.
Albert Girard (1595-1631)

  • Born in France.
  • He introduced such things as the use of brackets; a geometrical interpretation of the negative sign; the statement that the number of roots of an algebraic equation is equal to its degrees; and the recognition of imaginary roots.





Kurt Gödel (1906-1978)

  • Born in Czech Republic.
  • Using the axiomatized version of the set theory, proved that the continuum hypothesis is logically consistent with the other axioms of the theory.
Christian Goldbach (1690-1764)

  • Born in Kaliningrad.
  • His conjecture, which has yet to be proved, states that any even number greater than 3 can be written as the sum of two primes.
Hermann Günther Grassmann (1809-1877)

  • Born in Germany.
  • He did research on non-commutative algebra.
James Gregory (1638-1675)

  • Born in Scotland.
  • He showed how the areas of the circle and the hyperbola can be obtained in the form of infinite convergent series.
