11.11.15 | this is super nerdy and i love it and yeah von Neumann's the shit |
Trophycase
11.11.15 | 1 is 1 |
TheSpaceMan
11.11.15 | Fourier is the man his series transforms are huge for vibrations and heat transfer which I deal with a lot |
Sowing
11.11.15 | Love that this list exists. |
altertide0
11.11.15 | you can't have a top 5 mathematicians without Cauchy |
Artuma
11.11.15 | i'm just gonna be generic af and say newton |
Sniff
11.11.15 | Kurt Godel. He's the best looking one too. |
grindcorecore
11.11.15 | shit i just remembered friedmann, i feel like he's a bit underrated |

11.11.15 | Haake |
KrazyKris
11.11.15 | Apart from Gauss and Aristotle I don't really know enough about these guys to judge them, but Gauss is definitely amazing. |
BandNewbac
11.11.15 | Fourier and Euclid definitely |
BandNewbac
11.11.15 | Von Neumann is cool tho |
dtsanchez
11.11.15 | i dont know one mathematician |
Archelirion
11.11.15 | Gauss was a genius really, not much else that you could describe him as. I don't study maths anymore, but The Riemann Hypothesis still ties me up in knots sometimes. Just a fascinating question. |
ArsMoriendi
11.11.15 | Descartes was a mathematician, not sure about a top 5 one, but yeah... |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.11.15 | ...... |
CalculatingInfinity
11.11.15 | you can't have a top 5 mathematicians without Cauchy [2] |
TheCrocodile
11.11.15 | fuck Cauchy. Dope list. |
SapphireFace
11.11.15 | no Eastern mathematicians? Ramanujan... |
Sevengill
11.11.15 | Von Neumann machines are the #2 most practical way to destroy the world. |
Sinternet
11.11.15 | Ramanujan fo sho |
CamiloG
11.11.15 | Great list to be honest. What about Galois and Al-Khwarizmi? |
SapphireFace
11.11.15 | galois was too young when he died to be profilic |
Sevengill
11.11.15 | he was 20 years old when he solved a 350-year old math paradigm. good fucking lord. |
Sniff
11.11.15 | Fuck man. He died in a duel? How badass is that? |
Sevengill
11.11.15 | and he was so sure he was going to lose that he wrote his manifesto the night before it happened |
CamiloG
11.12.15 | That's why I wanted to name him, not only he made an outsatnding contribution, but also his life was really interesting. |
ffs
11.12.15 | just checking into this thread to let you all know im very smart IRL (in real life) |
treeqt.
11.12.15 | dying at 20 because you're retarded is interesting |
CamiloG
11.12.15 | His work laid the foundations for Galois theory and group theory, two major branches of abstract algebra, yet you call him a retard... |
treeqt.
11.12.15 | if he is not a retard how come he is dead
|
SharkTooth
11.12.15 | Cuz death is cool |
CamiloG
11.12.15 | I'm way to busy to feed a troll. |
treeqt.
11.12.15 | nothing spells busy like expressing your feelings about mathematicians to a music community |
InFlamesWeThrash666
11.12.15 | Haake [2] |

11.12.15 | nah actual mathematicians are nerds |
