A big protest!

WHAT THE HECK:!:

YOeepie!!!!!!!! The 'yes'es ARE winning!!!!

YAHOOO!!!!!

We are gonna have a MATH section! YAY!

Math is for people that don't add up

Jeez - 10 all - even stevens!

I didn't realise that there were that many poor, pathetic, personality-bypassed, maths nuts here!

Maths is where those people with no other interests hang out! Show me one creative, artistic, even remotely interesting, mathematician / statistician / actuary (watch out for Pyewhackett! )

There are only three kind of A2K'ers. Those who can count, and those who can't.

Mathematicians can be great! Philistines...

dlowan, when I was at the uni - I specialized in non linear math. Have had enuff to last me for a lifetime !

Hmmmmmmmm..... all mathed out, are we?

Come on guys!!! Vote for math!!! we NEED math!

Count 'em!

For those who can count, even a little bit....

the NO's are ahead!

Big round of applause for the NO's - winners after 50 posts!!!!!!

Where some people learned math, I can only guess! :wink:

Everything we do comes down to math, the universal language common to all science, music, culture, industry and understanding. Who would you vote for as the Greatest Mathematician of All Time?

1) Sir Isaac Newton
2) Leonardo Pisanot Fibonacci
3) Galileo Galilei
4) Euclid of Alexandria
5) Aristotle
6) Leonhard Euler
7) Blaise Pascal
8) Ptolemy
9) Rene Descartes
10) Charles Babbage
11) Augusta Ada Byron
12) Albert Einstein
13) Florence Nightingale
14) Mary Lucy Cartwright
15) Eratosthenes

(Personally, I'd most like to party with Galileo)!

Texas Instruments does all the math i need

TGR,

Regardless of the poll there will be a math forum. If current membership didctated what topics were to be covered a demographical change would be less likely.

256 more COOL mathematicians are listed at
scienceworld.wolfram.com, a most bodacious and curvilinear website.

Just look at all those numbers!

Aha!!! The evil Craven appears!

This only goes to prove that mathematics is, indeed, the most evil thought about!

Thank heavens that damned cross-eyed baby has gone again, that's all I can say...

Florence Nightingale was a mathematician? Was that between nursing gigs during the Crimean War?

That baby is just NOT well-liked. So far he's been chosen by me, maxsdadeo, and TGR -- anyone else? (I think he goes naturally with "just hatched".)

It is a little odd to have business mixed up with science and math. But why separate math & science? What about engineering? Physics?

BTW -- I'd be interested, CodeBorg, if you (or anybody) would describe who some of those mathematicians were, when they lived and something about their most famous achievements.
