2nd century AD
Diophantus introduced an elementary algebraic sign to designate the unknown in equations. -
Leonard Euler
He studied Fourier series and in 1744 was the first to express an algebraic function by means of such a series. He found the summation formula now known as Euler-McLaurin. He proved Fermat's Last Theorem for n = 3, where he introduced calculus with algebraic numbers. -
Carl Friedrich
He published the proof that every polynomial equation has at least one root in a complex plane. -
Hermann Grassmann
Creator of linear algebra, everything related to linear combination, linear independence, dimension, among others. -
