well it depends on what kind of math you are doin.

You are going to run into some difficulties because mathematicians and physicists have rather different emphases and notations in this area. Most of the math books that cover Lie groups assume a lower level abstract algebra course (which covers finite groups). The best treatment for physicists I have found is 'Symmetries in Physics' by J. P. Elliot and P. G. Dawber.\n\nIf you really want a mathematical treament, you should look into books on differential geometry first (to get a good definition of Lie group) and then check out a book on representation theory for Lie groups.

I like Math so much.\nI always get A in the Math.

Disagree.  It solves some problems in evolutionary theory where selective pressures are subtle.  The mathematics are highly refined and led to new insights, but it's application in the real world is limited.

Math is the basis of Engineering and Science.Without it Einstein couldn't come out with Theory of relativity and his famous E=mC^2.Math plays a big role in day to day life.So Math is very very vital.

Mathematics can be defined as the logically rigorous study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change. Another view, held by many mathematicians, is that mathematics is the body of knowledge justified by deductive reasoning, starting from axioms and definitions.\n\nMathematics is used throughout the world in fields such as science, engineering, surveying, medicine, and economics. These fields both inspire and make use of new discoveries in mathematics. New mathematics is also created for its own sake, without any particular application in view.\n\nThe word "mathematics" comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma) meaning science, knowledge, or learning, and μαθηματικός (mathēmatikós), meaning fond of learning. It is often abbreviated math in North American English and maths in Commonwealth English .\nHistory\n\n    Main article: History of mathematics\n\nThe evolution of mathematics might be seen to be an ever-increasing series of abstractions, or alternatively an expansion of subject matter. The first abstraction was probably that of numbers. The realization that two apples and two oranges have something in common, namely that they fill the hands of exactly one person, was a breakthrough in human thought. In addition to recognizing how to count concrete objects, prehistoric peoples also recognized how to count abstract quantities, like time -- days, seasons, years. Arithmetic (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), naturally followed. Monolithic monuments testify to a knowledge of geometry.\n\nFurther steps need writing or some other system for recording numbers such as tallies or the knotted strings called khipu used by the Inca empire to store numerical data. Numeral systems have been many and diverse.\n\nFrom the beginnings of recorded history, the major disciplines within mathematics arose out of the need to do calculations on taxation and commerce, to understand the relationships among numbers, to measure land, and to predict astronomical events. These needs can be roughly related to the broad subdivision of mathematics, into the studies of quantity, structure, space, and change.\n\nMathematics since has been much extended, and there has been a fruitful interaction between mathematics and science, to the benefit of both.\n\nMathematical discoveries have been made throughout history and continue to be made today. According to Mikhail B. Sevryuk, in the January 2006 issue of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, "The number of papers and books included in the Mathematical Reviews database since 1940 (the first year of operation of MR) is now more than 1.9 million, and more than 75 thousand items are added to the database each year. The overwhelming majority of works in this ocean contain new mathematical theorems and their proof."\n[edit]\n\nInspiration, pure and applied mathematics, and aesthetics\n\n    Main article: Mathematical beauty\n\nMathematics arises wherever there are difficult problems that involve quantity, structure, space, or change. At first these were found in commerce, land measurement and later astronomy; nowadays, all sciences suggest problems studied by mathematicians, and many problems arise within mathematics itself. Newton invented infinitesimal calculus and Feynman his Feynman path integral using a combination of reasoning and physical insight, and today's string theory also inspires new mathematics. Some mathematics is only relevant in the area that inspired it, and is applied to solve further problems in that area. But often mathematics inspired by one area proves useful in many areas, and joins the general stock of mathematical concepts. The remarkable fact that even the "purest" mathematics often turns out to have practical applications is what Eugene Wigner has called "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics."\n\nAs in most areas of study, the explosion of knowledge in the scientific

EE and ME is for math. You have to have a strong interest in math!

my favorite subject has always been math, but honestly, when are we ever going to use calculus? i think english is pretty important. you can always improve on your vocabulary. writing and reading is good for your brain.

Lookup euclid and euler in wikipedia and see their years of birth and death. Then lookup 'mathematicians' and check out each of those years of birth and death. Pick 5 that lived and worked betwen euclid and eulers time. The fact they are listed in wikipedia at all would imply they are eminent, but you can also read up on whether they achieved something outstanding. I'm sure your teacher will want to know a bit about why you and others consider them 'eminent'.\n\nOn the mathematicians page, there is a link to a 'list of mathematicians' page with A to Z categories below that. If you click on A for example, it lists those mathematicians beginning with A with the dates on a single page. That makes the job quite easy.

Yes, there a conservative scientists as well.  Not surprising, there are also apolitical scientists that just want to focus on science.

Whether you have a god-complex or approach it humbly doesn't matter if you don't know your maths and theories. Different people will tackle a complex problem in different way, looking for a possible solution. The right way is dependent on the perosn, but I'd say the characteristics they need are aa combination of intellectual ability, education and a deep curiosity in solving the unknown. Physicists and other scientists are just the ultimate puzzlers!

mathematics\n\nScience of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculation. Since the 17th century it has been an indispensable adjunct to the physical sciences and technology, to the extent that it is considered the underlying language of science. \n\nAmong the principal branches of mathematics are algebra, analysis, arithmetic, combinatorics, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, game theory, number theory, numerical analysis, optimization, probability, set theory, statistics, topology, and trigonometry.
