The impact of IT on public admin, do you mean publich adminstration?\n\nThe impact of IT, or the theory behind IT, is to simply leverage technology better within a given field.\n\nSo i would say the impact would allow the public admins, ect, utilities, judges, court buildings, ect to be better orgainzed, fund better technology decisions, and provide a better long term result to the general public.\n\nIf, however this is not what you mean, then sorry, i'm not sure what you mean by public admn.

I don't think it had any impact on famous people. If you know one like that do write to me.

it already has had a major effect.  it caused all the hurricanes last summer to be so bad and killed thousands of people in the gulf coast region... i would say that is a major effect on people.

Not very.\n\nThe Drake Equation is supposed to estimate the number of civilizations in the Galaxy, and is usually written as:\n\nN = R* fp ne fl fi fc L\n\nwhere,\n\n    * N = The number of communicative civilizations\n    * R* = The rate of formation of suitable stars \n    * fp = The fraction of those stars with planets. \n    * ne = The number of Earth-like worlds per planetary system\n    * fl = The fraction of those Earth-like planets where life actually develops\n    * fi = The fraction of life sites where intelligence develops\n    * fc = The fraction of communicative planets \n    * L = The "lifetime" of communicating civilizations\n\nA problem is that one can come up with other criteria, which add a term and tend to lower the estimate. For example, fraction of Earth-like worlds with a large Moon, or the timespan when an "echo" or a civilization (buildings, spaceships, etc.) can be detected before fading away.\n\nThe reason is that there is so much uncertainty in most of these values. Until that part is nailed down we won't really know which of these terms are critical, which not, and what other terms (if any) to add.\n\nNevertheless it is an easy way to guestimate some of the concerns with the possibilities of alien civilizations.

Ferdinand Magellan's crew. However, Ferdinand himself didn't finish his expedition because he was killed in the Philippines.

ditto to the previous answer. In addition, the British hired pirates to tango with the Spanish. While these were not large-scale skirmishes, it meant that a lot of their attention was diverted prior to their big defeat. Probably the major preoccupation was dealing with these pirates that took gold and currency as opposed to defeating the British.

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.

John Harrison developed longitude.\n\nLatitude is a bit more difficult to determine and is mostly about mathematics but I believe mathematician Karl Gauss had something to do with it. But you should research that some more.
