Purpose: To research contributions made in mathematics by various individuals
throughout history.
You have been assigned two different mathematicians to research. The
list of assigned
mathematicians
can be found in the Syllabus &
Content link of the course homepage.
There are two parts to this assignment. For Part 1 you will write your summaries and

each
to the appropriate Mathematician Dropbox.
Using the feedback from the
Originality Report, you will revise your summaries

ï‚·
Birth date and location
ï‚·
Current location if the mathematician is still living or
;

MODEL SUMMARY
–
Please follow this format.
Panini
Born: about 520 BC in Shalatula, now Pakistan
Died: about 460 BC in
India
Approximate age at death was 60.
While he was not a mathematician, his work in developing grammatical rules for the
highly structured Sanskrit language is considered to be a foundation for the way
Indian mathematics developed. Sanskrit is the forma
l language of the Indian
Hindus. Panini's major work,
Astadhyayi
, gave formal rules and definitions for
Sanskrit grammar.
Historians attribute the development of the algebraic structure of Indian mathematics
to the use of the highly structured Sanskrit la
nguage. Since Indian scholars were
familiar with a structured language they were inclined to develop structure in their
mathematics as well. Panini's work led more modern scholars to develop language
theory which then led to the development of computer la
nguages.
