Famous Mathematician Project



Famous Mathematician ProjectThis project will give you an introduction to the history of mathematics. Gaining a better understanding of how the mathematics that you study today first originated will help you develop an appreciation for and better understanding of the subject as a whole.You will pick a famous mathematician and make a creative representation of information about your mathematician. You can create one of the following:* create a detailed 3-fold brochure with all 6 columns utilized*Create a detailed hanging mobile that tells the story of the mathematician’s life.?*create a detailed tombstone for your mathematician*create a shoebox diorama*come up with another idea and get it approvedYou must include all of the following (come see me if you have issues before the project is due): Photograph or Drawing of your MathematicianVital Statistics: name, lifespan, birthplace, age at death Three historic world events that occurred during his/her lifeEducationMarital and Family StatusOccupationsThree Contributions to Mathematics Two interesting events from his/her life?Quote Attributed to Your Mathematician ***YOU MUST GET YOUR PROJECT IDEA AND MATHEMATICIAN APPROVED BEFORE YOU START YOUR PROJECT!!!!!
