Pavel Alexandrov - Russia Pavel Sergeyevich Alexandrov (Russian: Па́вел Серге́евич Алекса́ндров), sometimes romanized Paul Alexandroff (7 May 1896 – 16 November 1982), was a Soviet mathematician. He wrote about three hundred papers, making important contributions to set theory and topology. In topology, the Alexandroff compactification and the Alexandrov topology are named after him.

Vladimir Arnold - Russia Vladimir Igorevich Arnold (alternative spelling Arnol'd, Russian: Влади́мир И́горевич Арно́льд, 12 June 1937 – 3 June 2010) was a Soviet and Russian mathematician. While he is best known for the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser theorem regarding the stability of integrable systems, he made important contributions in several areas including dynamical systems theory, algebra, catastrophe theory, topology, algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, etc. Wikipedia

Jing Fang - China was born in present-day 東郡頓丘 (Puyang, Henan) during the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD). He was a Chinese music theorist, mathematician and astrologer. Although better known for his work in musical measurements, he also accurately described the basic mechanics of lunar and solar eclipses. Wikipedia

James Waddell Alexander II - USA James Waddell Alexander II (September 19, 1888 – September 23, 1971) was a mathematician and topologist of the pre-World War II era and part of an influential Princeton topology elite, which included Oswald Veblen, Solomon Lefschetz, and others. He was one of the first members of the Institute for Advanced Study (1933–1951), and also a professor at Princeton University (1920–1951). Wikipedia

Celso Costa - Brazil Celso José da Costa (born April 7, 1949 in Congonhinhas) is a Brazilian mathematician working in differential geometry. His research activity has focused in the construction and classification of minimal surfaces embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space. He is best known for his discovery of Costa's minimal surface, which was described in 1982. He earned his Ph.D. from IMPA in 1982 under the supervision of Manfredo do Carmo. Wikipedia

Ibn al-Banna' al-Marrakushi - Morocco Ibn al‐Bannāʾ al‐Marrākushī, also known as Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Uthman al-Azdi (Arabic: ابن البنّاء‎) (29 December 1256 – c. 1321), was a Moroccan-Arab mathematician, astronomer, Islamic scholar. Wikipedia

Oscar Chisini - Italy Oscar Chisini (March 14, 1889 – April 10, 1967) was an Italian mathematician. He introduced the Chisini mean in 1929. In 1929, he founded the Institute of Mathematics (Istituto di Matematica) at the University of Milan, along with Gian Antonio Maggi and Giulio Vivanti. He then held the position of chairman of the Institute from the early 1930s until 1959. Wikipedia

Ibn al-Haytham - Iraq was a Muslim Arab mathematician, astronomer, and physicist of the Islamic Golden Age. Referred to as "the father of modern optics", he made significant contributions to the principles of optics and visual perception in particular. His most influential work is titled Kitāb al-Manāẓir (Arabic: كتاب المناظر, "Book of Optics"), written during 1011–1021, which survived in a Latin edition. A polymath, he also wrote on philosophy, theology and medicine. Wikipedia

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi - Khwarazmwas a Persian polymath who produced vastly influential works in mathematics, astronomy, and geography. Around 820 CE he was appointed as the astronomer and head of the library of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.Wikipedia

Leonid Berlyand - Russia Leonid Berlyand is a Soviet and American mathematician. He is known for his works on homogenization and Ginzburg–Landau theory. Wikipedia

John Charles Fields - Canada John Charles Fields, FRS, FRSC (May 14, 1863 – August 9, 1932) was a Canadian mathematician and the founder of the Fields Medal for outstanding achievement in mathematics. Wikipedia

David Borwein - Canada David Borwein (born 1924, in Kaunas, Lithuania) is a Canadian mathematician known for his research in the summability theory of series and integrals. He has also done work in measure theory and probability theory, number theory, and approximate subgradients and coderivatives. He has recently collaborated with his son, Jonathan Borwein, and with B.A. Mares Jr. on the properties of single- and many-variable sinc integrals. Wikipedia

Alfred van der Poorten - Australia Alfred Jacobus (Alf) van der Poorten AM (16 May 1942 – 9 October 2010) was a Dutch-Australian number theorist, for many years on the mathematics faculties of the University of New South Wales and Macquarie University. Wikipedia
