The MacTutor History of Mathematics archive – Extensive list of detailed biographies The Oberwolfach Photo Collection – Photographs of mathematicians from all over the world Photos of mathematicians – Collection of photos of mathematicians (and computer scientists) made by Andrej Bauer.
This is a list of artists who actively explored mathematics in their artworks. [3] Art forms practised by these artists include painting, sculpture, architecture, textiles and origami. Some artists such as Piero della Francesca and Luca Pacioli went so far as to write books on mathematics in art.
William Schieffelin Claytor (1908–1967), third African-American to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics, University of Pennsylvania [1] [2] Paul Cohen (1934–2007) Don Coppersmith (b. 1950), cryptographer, first four-time Putnam Fellow in history; Elbert Frank Cox (1895–1969), first African-American to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics, Cornell University
[1] [5] Most of the photographs show the chalkboard in a moment drawn from the mathematician's work on it, [1] depicting how mathematicians think, work, and communicate with each other. [5] Some other photographs show chalk drawings that were deliberately created to be photographed for this book. The mathematicians themselves are not depicted. [1]

Sofya Kovalevskaya is known for her contributions to differential equations, and gives her name to the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem, the fundamental existence result for analytic partial differential equations. Margarethe Kahn (1880–c. 1942), one of the first female German doctorates, contributed to Hilbert's sixteenth problem
Adcock, Frank (Britain, 1886–1968); Adelard of Bath (Medieval England, 1080s–1150s); Adelbulner, Michael (Germany, 1702–1779); Adelson-Velsky, Georgy Maximovich ...
He is a seminal figure in the history of mathematics; if printed, his works, many of which are of fundamental interest, would occupy between 60 and 80 quarto volumes. [42] Euler's name is associated with a large number of topics. Euler's work averages 800 pages a year from 1725 to 1783. He also wrote over 4500 letters and hundreds of manuscripts.
