There are a lot of Mathematicians round the globe. From the BC to AD many great mathematicians were born and did a lot of mathematical inventions and discoveries that just didn’t help in the development of their own country but also other parts of the world. We So lets Dive in to Know More About all These Great Mathematician.
Swiss Mathematicians
Swiss or Switzerland, is a country located in Southern Europe. Switzerland is surrounded by Italy France Germany Austria and Liechtenstein. Many Great Mathematicians were born here during the 15th to 20th centuries.
There is a Great legacy of Swiss (Switzerland) Mathematician. Here is the list of few great Mathematicians who were born in Swiss:
- Johann Bernoulli,
- Leonhard Euler,
- Daniel Brélaz,
- Peter Bühlmann,
- Jürg Peter Buser Etc.
Johann Bernoulli
Johann Bernoulli was a Swiss mathematician. He was born on 27 July 1667 and died on 1 January 1748 He belonged to the family of Bernoulli. He is famous for his works on infinitesimal calculus.
Daniel Bernoulli
Daniel Bernoulli was a Swiss Mathematician and Physicist. He was born on 29 January 1700 and died on 17 March 1782. Just like Johann Bernoulli he too belonged to the family of Bernoulli.
He is famous for his works on probability and statistics. He is also famous for applying mathematical concepts in physics.
Jacob Bernoulli
Jacob Bernoulli was a Swiss Mathematician. He was born on 6 January 1655 and died on 16 August 1705 Just like Johann Bernoulli and Daniel Bernoulli he too was from the Bernoulli family.
He is famous for his works on calculus. He discovered the fundamental mathematical constant e. He is called the founders of the calculus of variations.
Just like Daniel Bernoulli, He too contributed in the field of probability. He was the one who derived the first version of the law of large numbers.
Few of his famous contributions in the field of mathematics are:
- Lemniscate of Bernoulli
- Hidden Bernoulli model
- Bernoulli’s inequality
- Bernoulli’s Golden Theorem
- Bernoulli’s formula
- Bernoulli trial
- Bernoulli scheme
- Bernoulli sampling
- Bernoulli random variable
- Bernoulli process
- Bernoulli polynomials
- Bernoulli operator
- Bernoulli numbers
- Bernoulli map
- Bernoulli distribution
- Bernoulli differential equation
Johann Heinrich Lambert
Johann Heinrich Lambert was a Swiss Mathematician and a Physicist. He was born on 26 August 1728 and died on 25 September 1777. Some of his famous contribution to the field of Mathematics are:
- Beer–Lambert law
- First Proof that π is irrational
- Lambert W function
- Lambert’s cosine law
- Transverse Mercator projection
Nicolaus Bernoulli
Nicolaus Bernoulli was a Swiss Mathematician. He was born on 21 October 1687 and died on 29 November 1759 in Basel. He belonged to the Bernoulli family.
Paul Isaac Bernays
Paul Isaac Bernays was a Swiss Mathematician. He was born on 17 October 1888 and died on 18 September 1977. He made significant contributions to axiomatic set theory, the philosophy of mathematics and mathematical logic. He closely worked with a great mathematician David Hilbert.
Nicolas Fatio de Duillier
Nicolas Fatio de Duillier is a Swiss Mathematician, astronomer, religious campaigner, natural philosopher, and inventor. He was born on 16 February 1664 and died on 10 May 1753 in Basel, Switzerland.
Andreas Speiser
Andreas Speiser was a Swiss Mathematician and Philosopher of Science. She was born on June 10, 1885, and died on October 12, 1970.
Christine Riedtmann
Christine Riedtmann is a Swiss Mathematician. She was born in 1952. She mastered in abstract algebra. In 2012 she became the president of the Swiss Mathematical Society.
Henri Fehr
Henri Fehr was a Swiss Mathematician. He was born on 2 February 1870 and died on 2 November 1954 in Geneva.
Here is the list of Mathematical concepts which were derived by Swiss Mathematicians:
- Infinitesimal calculus
Indian Mathematicians
India is the land of Mathematicians. Many Great Mathematicians were born in this holy land. Indian Mathematicians has not only helped India to grow up but their works also spread through out the world which has inspired other mathematicians, astrologers, astronomers and scientists.
Shakuntala Devi
She the lady genius of Mathematics. She broke many records in mathematics. She is also called as the human-computer. Not only in India but she is also appreciated for her works throughout the globe. Read here to know more details about Shakuntala Devi.
Aryabhatta
He is from the first few greatest mathematicians from India. By the age of 23, he has written two books. Āryabhaṭīya and Arya-Siddhanta are among the two books that he has written. We have specifically written an article for Aryabhatta.
Bhaskara
He was one of the best mathematicians from the 12th century. He was born in Bijapur in Karnataka. Here is the Detail Post About Bhaskar 1.
Srinivas Ramanujan
He is called the man who knew the infinity. In his childhood itself, he has read and solved many mathematical problems. He won many awards in his school. Students used to come to his home to learn maths. Eventually, when he grew up older he went to foreign countries and worked with many mathematicians like G H Hardy. He has even written many mathematical books which people still worth.
Here are more Details about Srinivas Ramanujan.
English Mathematician
There is the Whole Bunch of English Mathematician who Completely Change the World with there Work. Some of them are Isaac Newton, George Boole, Stephen Hawking.
German Mathematician
Carl Friedrich Gauss, David Hilbert, Bernhard Riemann, Georg Cantor
Gottfried Leibniz the Father of Calculus and a Philosopher Who Created the Information Age

Well, I believe if the mathematicians around the world would break the boundaries and work internationally and would share the thoughts and ideas and would work together then they can change the do great things together.
