Felix Christian Klein
Felix Christian Klein was born on April 25, 1849 (O’Conner and Robertson). Felix Klein was born in Düsseldorf, Prussia, which is now present day Germany. Also, known as Felix Klein, he was a mathematician known for his research in non-Euclidean geometry, group theory, and function theory (Felix Klein German Mathematician).
Felix Klein’s father was part of the Prussian government. His father was secretary to the head of the government. After Felix Klein graduated from the gymnasium in Düsseldorf, he went to the University of Bonn and studied math and physics from 1865-1866. Before Felix Klein had studied non-Euclidean geometry, he first wanted to be a physicist. While still at the University of Bonn he was appointed to lab assistant to Julius Plücker (Felix Klein German Mathematician). Felix Klein got his doctorate, which was supervised by Plücker. Plücker had interest in geometry, which made Felix Klein start to study geometry. Plücker died a few months after Felix Klein got his doctorate, which left Plücker’s work incomplete, and only one person could finish his work (O’Conner and Robertson). That person would be Felix Klein.
After Julius Plücker died and Felix Klein started to work on his unfinished work he worked with a man named Alfred Clebsch. Alfred Clebsch was the head of the math department at the University of Göttingen (Felix Klein German Mathematician). Clebsch had moved to Göttingen in the 1868. Clebsch recommended Klein to be the professor of mathematics at the University of Erlangen (Felix Klein German Mathematician). Before Felix Klein met Clebsch, he worked with Sophus Lie who he met in Berlin just before the Franco-German War in 1870 (Felix Klein German Mathematician).

Felix Klein was awarded the De Morgan Medal in 1893 by the London Mathematical Society (O’Conner and Robertson). In 1912 the Royal Society awarded the Copley medal to Felix Klein. In 1885 was when he was first inducted into the Royal Society (O’Conner and Robertson).
Felix Klein also has a prize that is honored after him. The prize is awarded to a young scientist or a group that is usually small of young scientist ("The European Mathematical Society"). The award that is being given is not given to any age group, but rather aimed at the younger generation ("The European Mathematical Society"). The standard that you have to meet to be required to win this prize is that your breakthrough must help solve a problem that is occurring within an industry ("The European Mathematical Society").
The Shotgun stalker is a serial killer who terrorized the Washington, D.C area for two months in 1993. He would do random drive-by shootings using a 12-gauge shotgun. His name is James Swann Jr., was African American he was born in 1964. James was a New Jersey native. He moved to Oxon Hill with his sister a few years prior to the shootings. He worked as a security guard; however, Swann was fired because he insisted on walking backward while patrolling the aisles of a drugstore. In the 1980’s mental illness began to show in James. He did not try to find professional help for his mental disorders. In 1993, James Swann Jr., attempted to kill 14 people, and murdered 4 on Washington, D.C.
in 1883 he studied at Haverford college, Pennsylvania, to graduate in science in 1885 and soon entered into Harvard University. He received his Bachelor's degree in 1886 and His Masters and p.h.D in 1888. Soon after, he studied in Germany under many important important mentors

July 9th, 1856 (famousscientists.org). He earned degrees in law and started to practice as an ecclesiastical lawyer. After obtaining his formal degrees, he took private lessons in mathematics and sciences, including chemistry. He later became the professor of mathematic physics at the University of Turin. Unfortunately, that time for him was shortcoming because of political mayhem. He lost his job in 1823. He then was reappointed to his post and retired in 1850, at the age of 74.
He had wanted to be a research scientist but anti-Semitism forced him to choose a medical career instead and he worked in Vienna as a doctor, specialising in neurological disorders (disorders of the nervous system). He constantly revised and modified his theories right up until his death but much of his psychoanalytic theory was produced between 1900 and 1930.
He went on to discover the epidermal growth factor as well. Stanley and Rita won the shared Nobel Prize for physiology/medicine in 1986, as well as sharing the Louisa Gross Horowitz Prize form Columbia University in 1983. He also won the National Medal of Science in 1986 and his research has been vital for the understanding of cancer cell development. He is still alive to this day, at age 92 as of 17 November this year.Having been linked to Down Syndrome, the NGF is really far more important than you
In 1936, the first Fields medal was presented to Lars Ahlfors and Jesse Douglas. The medal was officially known as the International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics. This medal is awarded to mathematicians under the age of forty and there can be two to four recipients of the medal. This medal and the Abel prize are called “the mathematician’s Nobel Prizes.” Previously, mathematicians did not have a major award like the Nobel Prize because the Nobel Prize was created through the will of Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, who was not “particularly interested in mathematics or theoretical science”. A meeting is held every four years to decide the new recipients of the medal. The first two recipients of the medal, as stated above, were the Finnish mathematician Lars Ahlfors and the American mathematician Jesse Douglas.
He has significantly altered our view of the world with his Theory of Relativity. The other one is not so well known, his works are commonly associated with Einstein instead. His name is Heisenberg. He is a narrator. He worked mainly in Quantum Physics and was responsible for the development of the Principle of Uncertainty.

Kummer was born to Carl Gotthelf Kummer and Sophie Rothe in Sorau, Brandenburg, Germany. His father passed away when Kummer was 3-years-old. Carl Kummer was a physician and originally Ernst Kummer aspired to be like his him. After the very tragic loss, Kummer’s mom, Sophie, worked her hardest to raise him and his brothers and sisters. His sister, Rebecca Mendelssohn Bartholdy was married to the famous mathematician, Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet. Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet is known for the numbers theory. Dirichlet ...

Even though Ernest Rutherford was one of the most prominent scientist of his generation he was not greatly awarded. In 1900 he was elected fellow of the royal society of Canada, and three years later he was elected fellow of the royal society of London. In 1908 he won his most important prize, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. And finally he was knighted in 1914.
Jacob Bernoulli was born on the 27th of December, 1654, to Niklaus and Margarethe Bernoulli, in Basel, Switzerland. He initially abided by his father’s wishes and studied theology, eventually joining the ministry, but also chose to study both mathematics and astronomy on the side. From the ages of 22 to 28, he traveled throughout Europe, learning about the most recent advances in mathematics and the natural sciences, including recent discoveries by Boyle and Hooke.
Rutherford was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry before his gold foil experiment. He was knighted in the New Year's Honors List for 1914. He became a Member of the Order of Merit (Civ...
Carl Friedrich Gauss was born April 30, 1777 in Brunswick, Germany to a stern father and a loving mother. At a young age, his mother sensed how intelligent her son was and insisted on sending him to school to develop even though his dad displayed much resistance to the idea. The first test of Gauss’ brilliance was at age ten in his arithmetic class when the teacher asked the students to find the sum of all whole numbers 1 to 100. In his mind, Gauss was able to connect that 1+100=101, 2+99=101, and so on, deducing that all 50 pairs of numbers would equal 101. By this logic all Gauss had to do was multiply 50 by 101 and get his answer of 5,050. Gauss was bound to the mathematics field when at the age of 14, Gauss met the Duke of Brunswick. The duke was so astounded by Gauss’ photographic memory that he financially supported him through his studies at Caroline College and other universities afterwards. A major feat that Gauss had while he was enrolled college helped him decide that he wanted to focus on studying mathematics as opposed to languages. Besides his life of math, Gauss also had six children, three with Johanna Osthoff and three with his first deceased wife’s best fri...
