The Giants of Calculus
This is a two-column matching game to test your knowledge of some
of the
Giants of Calculus
, indeed, of all
Mathematics
.
Initial Instructions.
First, begin by reading the biographical sketches
of Newton, Leibniz, Euler, Gauss, Cauchy, and Riemann provided by
TheMacTutor:HistoryofMathematicsarchive
.
Clickon“Biographies
Index” and look up each of these great mathematicians, taking notes
as you read. (Quiz to follow!)
Done?
Or you think you can skip the first step?
Instructions.
Click on a person in the
left-hand column
first, then try
to match that person with one of the descriptions in the right-hand
column. To get 100% you would truly be
...

❒
Given credit for first using the func-

f
(

).
❒
He developed the Calculus while his
University was closed for the plague.
❒
Gave a rigorous definition of the def-
inite integral—an integral that now
bears his name.
❒
He first formulated a precise defini-
tion of the limit and continuity of a
function.
❒
He created the “bell-shaped curve” &
first used the method of least squares.
