Slovincian is an extinct dialect of the Pomeranian language, spoken between the lakes Gardno and Lebsko in Pomerania. Slovincian died out as the everyday language of the community and had been replaced by Low German by the turn of the 20th century. However, individual words and expressions survived up until the years after World War II. At that time there were also reports of elders who were able to hold simple conversations in their dialect.\n\nSlovincian was so closely related to Kashubian that it could be regarded as its dialect. It is disputed whether Slovincians actually used that name, given by Russian scientist Aleksander Hilferding, for themselves. Some scholars believe that Slovincians regarded themselves only as Lutheran Kashubians and their language as Kashubian. Nevertheless, the name "Slovincian" prevails in literature and is also used officially (e.g. Slowinski Park Narodowy - Slovincian National Park in the Pomeranian voivodship).

Calculus on Manifolds \nMichael Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds: A Modern Approach to Classical Theorems of Advanced Calculus (1965) is a text treating analysis in several variables in Euclidean spaces and on differentiable manifolds. Notable features include a long problem entitled "A First Course in Complex Analysis" and the book's cover, a reproduction of Lord Kelvin's letter to Stokes in which Stokes's theorem is first stated.

Sir Isaac Newton, PRS, (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727) [OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727] was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist,chemist, inventor, and natural philosopher who is generally regarded as one of the most influential scientists and mathematicians in history.\n\nNewton wrote the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica wherein he described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from this system, he was the first to show that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws. The unifying and deterministic power of his laws was integral to the scientific revolution and the advancement of heliocentrism.\n\nAmong other scientific discoveries, Newton realized that the spectrum of colours observed when white light passes through a prism is inherent in the white light and not added by the prism (as Roger Bacon had claimed in the 13th century), and notably argued that light is composed of particles. He also developed a law of cooling, describing the rate of cooling of objects when exposed to air. He enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. Finally, he studied the speed of sound in air, and voiced a theory of the origin of stars. Despite this renown in mainstream science, Newton spent more time working on either alchemy or chemistry, than physics.\n\nNewton played a major role in the history of calculus, sharing credit with Gottfried Leibniz. He also made contributions to other areas of mathematics, for example the generalized binomial theorem. The mathematician and mathematical physicist Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736–1813), said that "Newton was the greatest genius that ever existed and the most fortunate, for we cannot find more than once a system of the world to establish." 20\n \n\n\nBiography\nEarly years\nThe life of Isaac Newton Early life Writing Principia Later life Religious views Occult studies  \nNewton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth (at Woolsthorpe Manor), a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire. Newton was born prematurely, and no one expected him to live; indeed, his mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, is reported to have said that his body at that time could have fit inside a quart mug (Bell, 1937). His father, Isaac, had died three months before Newton's birth. When Newton was two, his mother went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his grandmother.\n\nAccording to E.T. Bell (1937, Simon and Schuster) and H. Eves:\n\nNewton began his schooling in the village schools and was later sent to The Kings Grammar School (Grantham) where he became the top boy in the school. At Kings he lodged with the local apothecary, William Clarke and eventually became engaged to the apothecary's stepdaughter, Anne Storer, before he went off to Cambridge University at the age of 19. As Newton became engrossed in his studies, the romance cooled and Miss Storer married someone else. It is said he kept a warm memory of this love, but Newton had no other recorded 'sweethearts' and never married. \nHowever, William Stukeley and Mrs Vincent, the source which Bell and Eves have embroidered so unhelpfully, merely say that Newton entertained 'a passion' for her while he lodged at the Clarke house. Mrs Vincent's maiden name was Katherine Storer, not Anne.\n\n \nEngraving after Enoch Seeman's 1726 portrait of NewtonFrom the age of about twelve until he was seventeen, Newton was educated at The King's School in Grantham (where his signature can still be seen upon a library window sill). He was removed from school and by Oct 1659 he was to be found at Woolsthorpe where his mother attempted to make a farmer of him. He was, by later reports of his contemporaries, thoroughly unhappy with the work. It appears to be Henry Stokes, master at the Ki

Look up the works of MC Escher.  His tesselations were always soo cool.  He was a master of graphic design.  If I had a chance of an artist to emulate it would be Escher.  He was not a mathematician, but sometimes he conceptualized images to illustrate mathematical phenomena.\n\nJust go to en.wikipedia.org and look up the entry on Maurits Cornelius Escher.  Born in Holland.  Hope this helps.

Euclid. a Hellenistic scholar living in Egypt in the 3rd Centiry BC.\n\nHis magnum opus was Elements, which wikipaedia summarise as follows:\n\nAlthough Elements is a geometric work, it also includes results that today would be classified as number theory. The contents of the work are as follows:\n\nBooks 1 through 4 deal with plane geometry:\n\nBook 1 contains the basic properties of geometry: the Pythagorean theorem, equality of angles and areas, parallelism, the sum of the angles in a triangle, and the three cases in which triangles are "equal" (have the same area).\n\nBook 2 is commonly called the "book of geometrical algebra," because the material it contains may easily be interpreted as algebra.\n\nBook 3 deals with circles and their properties: inscribed angles, tangents, the power of a point.\n\nBook 4 is concerned with inscribing and circumscribing triangles and regular polygons.\n\nBooks 5 through 10 introduce ratios and proportions:\n\nBook 5 is a treatise on proportions of magnitudes.\n\nBook 6 applies proportions to geometry: Thales' theorem, similar figures.\n\nBook 7 deals strictly with number theory: divisibility, prime numbers, greatest common divisor, least common multiple.\n\nBook 8 deals with proportions in number theory and geometric sequences.\n\nBook 9 applies the results of the preceding two books: the infinitude of prime numbers, the sum of a geometric series, perfect numbers.\n\nBook 10 attempts to classify incommensurable (in modern language, irrational) magnitudes by using the method of exhaustion, a precursor to integration.\n\nBooks 11 through 13 deal with spatial geometry:\n\nBook 11 generalizes the results of Books 1–6 to space: perpendicularity, parallelism, volumes of parallelepipeds.\n\nBook 12 calculates areas and volumes by using the method of exhaustion: cones, pyramids, cylinders, and the sphere.\n\nBook 13 generalizes Book 4 to space: golden section, the five regular (or Platonic) solids inscribed in a sphere

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.

John Venn (August 4, 1834 - April 4, 1923) was an English mathematician/logician who invented the Venn diagram. \n\nBut Euler described numerous applications of Bernoulli's numbers, Fourier series, Venn diagrams, Euler's numbers, e and pi constants, continued fractions and integrals. \n\nEuler invented Euler circle.\n The nine point circle is a circle that can be constructed for any given triangle. It is named so because it passes through nine significant points, with six of them lying on the triangle itself: * the midpoints of the three sides,* the feet of the altitudes, * the midpoints of the portion of altitude between the vertices and the orthocenter.

Yes, research a great mathematician and write a report.  What's the question?\n\nPerhaps you are looking for some mathematician suggestions?  How about Archimedes, Euler, Newton, Descartes, Pythagoras, or Liebnitz?   I'm sure others have some suggestions as well.

Artist: Escher\nPhysician-Mathematician: Roger Penrose. He studied quasi-regular tessellation which were lately found to describe the structure of quasi-crystals, that is the chemical structure of some artificial metallic leagues.\n\nOh, I was forgetting another contemporary one: Raoul Raba. Made famous by the French mathematical organization of Kangourou, for which he created the logo.
