From Pythagoras to Einstein: A Timeline of Mathematical Breakthroughs

5th Century BC: Pythagoras and the Pythagorean Theorem

Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras introduced one of the most fundamental theorems in geometry, which states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a^2 + b^2 = c^2).

3rd Century BC: Euclid and the Elements

Euclid's 'Elements' became a foundational text in mathematics, introducing the concept of axioms and logical proofs. It has profoundly influenced geometric thought for centuries.

17th Century: Isaac Newton and Calculus

English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton independently developed calculus along with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. This revolutionary tool allowed for the analysis of continuous change and had far-reaching applications in science and engineering.

19th Century: Georg Cantor and Set Theory

German mathematician Georg Cantor introduced the concept of infinite sets, challenging traditional notions of numbers and infinity. His work laid the foundation for modern set theory.

20th Century: Albert Einstein and Relativity

Swiss physicist Albert Einstein's theory of relativity redefined our understanding of space, time, and gravity, forever transforming our perception of the universe.
