The Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP) is a web-based database for the academic genealogy of mathematicians. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] As of 1 December 2023, [update] it contained information on 300,152 mathematical scientists who contributed to research-level mathematics.
This is a timeline of pure and applied mathematics history.It is divided here into three stages, corresponding to stages in the development of mathematical notation: a "rhetorical" stage in which calculations are described purely by words, a "syncopated" stage in which quantities and common algebraic operations are beginning to be represented by symbolic abbreviations, and finally a "symbolic ...
The Bernoulli family (/ b ɜːr ˈ n uː l i / bur-NOO-lee; German: [bɛʁˈnʊli]; [a] Swiss Standard German: [bɛrˈnʊli]) of Basel was a patrician family, notable for having produced eight mathematically gifted academics who, among them, contributed substantially to the development of mathematics and physics during the early modern period.
Academic genealogy may influence research results in areas of active research. Hirshman et al. examined a controversial medical question, the value of maximal surgery for high grade glioma, and demonstrated that a physician's medical academic genealogy can affect his or her findings and approaches to treatment.

The history of mathematics deals with the origin of discoveries in mathematics and the mathematical methods and notation of the past. Before the modern age and the worldwide spread of knowledge, written examples of new mathematical developments have come to light only in a few locales.
In 2018, Wiles was appointed the first Regius Professor of Mathematics at Oxford. [4] Wiles is also a 1997 MacArthur Fellow. Wiles was born in Cambridge to theologian Maurice Frank Wiles and Patricia Wiles. While spending much of his childhood in Nigeria, Wiles developed an interest in mathematics and in Fermat's Last Theorem in particular.
