Who is your favorite Mathematician and why?

Gauss and Euler have so much impacted the whole history and methodology of mathematics that they deserve my top score.\n\nLooking to the other answers, I believe Newton is a bit overvalued as a mathematician (not as a physicist of course): calculus was independently discovered also by Leibniz and received fundamental contributions by many others.\n\nI also want to spend a word about Henri Poincare, a mathematician of great vision, who was ahead his time and with his work on differential equations posed the foundations for modern math branches such as dynamical systems and chaos theory.

I like maths and I'm very good at it. As I'd say, I do calculations every day. I also like chemistry, but only inorganic.  I find it very interesting.

Milton is Da MAN!\n\nYes...physics is the top dog in science. It could be argued that Chemistry isn't even a science.

My favorite is Lucy because she's so innocent, Edmund because he shows that NO one is perfect and temptation is powerful, and Peter because he has to look after them and he's courageous, brave, valiant, and caring. Other than them I like Aslan, The White Whitch, Mr. Tumnus, and the  beavers.

well, we cannot count Fermat, he is not a mathematician,its been said that Fermat is the greatest mathematician who wasn't a mathematician...Fermat was a Judge by profession and did mathematics to take his mind off of his cases.\n\nI would say that one of the greatest Mathematicians who had something to do with probability is Blaise Pascal

Albert Einstein. \n\nHe was very smart, intuitive, and a humanitarian. All of the things we need today.

A great one would be Euclid, a Greek geometer who wrote the "Elements", the world's most definitive text on geometry. The book synthesized earlier knowledge about geometry, and was used for centuries in western Europe as a geometry textbook. \n\nhttp://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Euclid.html\nhttp://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Euclid.html\nhttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/Elements.html

Johnny Depp. I've been a fan of his ever since I watched Benny and Joon. I love his ability to depict such a large variety of wierdos

There are countless such mathematicians. The major ones are Euler and Gauss. Other significant contributions came from al-Khwarizmi, Evariste Galois, and pretty much every major mathematician. See "Men of Mathematics" by E.T. Bell, although it is a bit biased, and "Mathematics and its History" by John Stillwell.

Wow, that's a tough question. My personal favorite is Stanley Kubrick because he streched the limits of filmmaking in ways that no other director has been able to match.\n\nAlfred Hitchcock is another top choice. His films are so tightly made and so gripping. My sources include a couple links about the greatest directors ever.
