AL-Juarismi(780 a 850)
His works venture into the branches of mathematics, astrology, astronomy, geography and history. One of his important works due to its algebraic content is the one entitled Hisab al-gabr wa'lmuqqabala, considered one of the first books on algebra. -

Leonardo de pisa "fibonacci (1170 a 1250
He was born in Italy and was educated in North Africa. His main work is Liber Apaci (Book about the abacus), where he explains the importance of the Indo-Arabic numeral system. Where a problem appears about the birth of rabbits, which gives rise to the Fibonacci sequence -

NICOLAS DE CAUSA (1401 A 1464
German cardinal born in Cusa and died in Lodi (Italy). More of a philosopher than a mathematician, the criticism is due to the concepts of the notion of infinity. He saw that one of the weak points of scholastic thought of the time, referring to science, had been ITS inability to measure, while he thought that knowledge should be based on measurement -

Nicolas chuquet (1445 a 1488)
He was a French mathematician. He invented his own notation for algebraic concepts and exponentiation, the first mathematician to recognize zero and negative numbers as exponents. He wrote an important text Triparty en la science des nombre. This is the first French algebra book, although for some time it was thought that La Roche had written the first French algebra -

Niccolo fontana-tartaglia (1500 a 1557
He was the first to devise a general procedure for solving third degree equations, keeping his methods secret. Cardano deceived him with the promise of keeping these methods secret but, failing his honor, he published them. In 1537 he published his first book on ballistic theory. -

chistoph rudolff (1500 a 1545)
Christoph Rudolff was the author of the first German algebra book. He was the author of a calculus book called Behend und durch die hübsch Rechnung kunstreichen Regeln Algebre. Introduced the use of the radical sign V in the square root -
Gabriel cramer (1704 a 1752)
In his work Introduction to the analysis of algebraic curves, he exposed the Newtonian theory, classifying them according to the degree of the equation. He reintroduced the determinant, an algorithm that Leibniz had already used to solve systems of linear equations with several unknowns. -
carl friedrich gauss (1777 a 1855
He was a German mathematician, astronomer, geobotanist, and physicist who contributed to number theory, mathematical analysis, differential geometry, statistics, algebra, geodesy, magnetism, and optics. He has had a notable influence in many fields of mathematics and science, and is considered one of the most influential mathematicians in history -
Georg cantor (1845 a 1918
He was a German mathematician, who with Dedekind invented set theory, the basis of modern mathematics. Thanks to the axiomatic presentation of his theory of sets, he was the first
