Mathematicians-Bingo - NACHO is our winner!!!

Post by Juel »

So, I finally managed to work out my bingo =)
The theme will be Mathematics, since math is very important to me (I study it).
I will draw two numbers per day, starting on 2nd May, and will give some information on the different persons. I did my best to collect some people who are actually related to life (it's not that easy to sort out all the abstract nonsense...) or who have some funny anecdotes ;-)
I hope you are not scared of the theme ;-)

Sign up is open from now on until 1st May (including 1st May) and the first numbers will be drawn on 2nd May.
Just pm me with 10 numbers of the following 29 (a prime number!!!!)

As a price I thought about a gift voucher from a site of your choice (e.g. Haed) , value $15 or £10

1) Isaac Newton
2) Archimedes
3) Thales
4) Galileo Galilei
5) Evariste Galois
6) Pythagoras
7) Euclid
8 ) Aryabhata
9) Leonardo Fibonacci
10) Johannes Kepler
11) Rene Descartes
12) Gottfried Leibniz
13) Leonhard Euler
14) Carl Friedrich Gauß
15)August Ferdinand Möbius
16) Pafnuty Chebychev
17) Leopold Kronecker
18) Bernhard Riemann
19) Felix Klein
20) Sofia Kovalevskaya
21) Emmy Noether
22) Ferdinand von Lindemann
23) Ptolemy
24) Aristotle
25) Adam Riese
26) Pierre de Fermat
27) John Nash
28) John von Neumann
29) Robert Recorde


(I would add myself to that list, but then I would not have a prime number. I am worth mentioning, I have an awesome hobby called stitching ;-) )
The colored numbers have already been drawn =)

A big THANK YOU to everyone who signed up so far =)

There is one more thing I wanted to mention:
The connection between mathematics and philosophy as well as the connection between mathematics and physics is often very tight. So there will also be some facts about philosophy or physics to share =)

Don't worry, you don't have to be good at maths, there will be no formula stuff or calculations for you to do ;-) I will just share some interesting or funny facts =)

I am sorry because some famous mathematicians are missing on the list, I was just afraid to hit you with abstract nonsense ;-)

Phew that's a relief Juel - anything abstract is way beyond my old head.

Sounds exciting and looking forward to it.

Hehe Squirrel... it certainly takes a LOT of brain-function for me to thoroughly understand the abstract maths. In calculus, my strong points are definitely algebra (where there are RULES!) rather than newer abstract concepts. Eeeek!

How unique! I love that this sounds like it'll be very different. I'm not taking part, since I just won, but I'll definitely be keeping up with it. :)
