They formulate and use mathematical models to understand real-world issues, contribute to theoretical advancements, and serve as crucial members of research teams One of the earliest known mathematicians was Thales of Miletus (c. 624 – c. 546 BC); he has been hailed as the first true mathematician and the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed.[1] He is credited with the first use of deductive reasoning applied to geometry, by deriving four corollaries to Thales's theorem.

The number of known mathematicians grew when Pythagoras of Samos (c. 582 – c. 507 BC) established the Pythagorean school, whose doctrine it was that mathematics ruled the universe and whose motto was "All is number".[2] It was the Pythagoreans who coined the term "mathematics", and with whom the study of mathematics for its own sake begins.

The first woman mathematician recorded by history was Hypatia of Alexandria (c. AD 350 – 415). She succeeded her father as librarian at the Great Library and wrote many works on applied mathematics. Because of a political dispute, the Christian community in Alexandria punished her, presuming she was involved, by stripping her naked and scraping off her skin with clamshells (some say roofing tiles).[3]

Science and mathematics in the Islamic world during the Middle Ages followed various models and modes of funding varied based primarily on scholars. It was extensive patronage and strong intellectual policies implemented by specific rulers that allowed scientific knowledge to develop in many areas. Funding for translation of scientific texts in other languages was ongoing throughout the reign of certain caliphs,[4] and it turned out that certain scholars became experts in the works they translated, and in turn received further support for continuing to develop certain sciences. As these sciences received wider attention from the elite, more scholars were invited and funded to study particular sciences. An example of a translator and mathematician who benefited from this type of support was Al-Khawarizmi. A notable feature of many scholars working under Muslim rule in medieval times is that they were often polymaths. Examples include the work on optics, maths and astronomy of Ibn al-Haytham.

2. Aryabhata Aryabhata (476–550 CE) was one of the first major mathematicians of ancient India. He introduced the place value system and the concept of zero. His work Aryabhatiya covers arithmetic, algebra, and astronomy.

3. Brahmagupta Brahmagupta (598–668 CE) was an Indian mathematician and astronomer. He gave rules for operations involving zero and negative numbers. His book Brahmasphutasiddhanta influenced mathematics for centuries.

4. Bhaskara I Bhaskara I (7th century CE) was an Indian mathematician known for his accurate sine approximation formula. He wrote detailed commentaries on Aryabhata's works.

5. Bhaskara II (Bhaskaracharya) Bhaskara II (1114–1185 CE), also called Bhaskaracharya, authored important texts like Lilavati and Bijaganita. He made contributions to algebra, arithmetic, trigonometry, and early calculus concepts.

6. Madhava of Sangamagrama Madhava (1340–1425 CE) founded the Kerala School of Mathematics. He developed infinite series for trigonometric functions, centuries before Newton and Leibniz.

7. Srinivasa Ramanujan Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887–1920) was a self-taught genius. He made deep contributions to number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. His collaboration with G. H. Hardy is legendary.

8. Raja Chudamani Dikshitar Raja Chudamani Dikshitar (19th century) was an Indian mathematician and scholar. He worked on algebra, geometry, and Sanskrit mathematics literature.

9. Shakuntala Devi Shakuntala Devi (1929–2013), also known as the 'Human Computer', was famous for her extraordinary mental calculation skills. She demonstrated complex calculations faster than computers of her time.

10. Harish-Chandra Harish-Chandra (1923–1983) was an Indian-American mathematician and physicist. He contributed significantly to representation theory and harmonic analysis on Lie groups.

11. C. R. Rao Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao (1920–2023) was a renowned statistician. He developed the Cramér–Rao inequality and Rao–Blackwell theorem, foundational results in statistics.
