Gauss
accomplishments= pretty much everything in 19th century mathematics
I really like Grothendieck from a personality perspective. I don't know math well enough to have a grasp on his accomplishments, but his 'relative' point of view is incredibly interesting.
The guy who's math I find most interesting is Chern I guess, I think geometry is cool as fuck.
best mathematician of the 20th century
Grothendieck was came up with weirdest things that ended up being exactly what we needed.

>Lets define the fundamental group through some convoluted projective limit of the automorphism group of some galois cover
>Lets define a topology on an entire category instead of on individual sets
Newton. he invented calculus
neil degrasse tyson and if you disagree you're a bigot
Euler, it's the meme choice but it's true.
That mother fucker worked like a dog. Also rumor has it he has so many things named after him we stopped naming shit after him to avoid confusion and gave the honors to secondary discoverers.
Source and reasoning why he's badass

*Leibniz
*Oresme
chief keef sosa
not sammy sosa
sammy sosa is white, chief keef is black
Oresme might of had calculus concepts....but no where near the formalization that Newton and Leibniz had
heck calculus concepts go back to Archimedes
Lagrange
>method of Lagrange multipliers
>Lagrange's theorem
>variation of parameters

What's not to love?
Erdos motherfucker. The guy had so many brilliant ideas in his head he had to do speed to have the energy to pump them all out.
Hilbert, he was a genius
Oiler
Mandelbrot
I'm not a huge math person but fractals are cool
Gödel.
His incompleteness theorem is art.
First response best response
Laplace. He made differential equations bearable.
>convoluted
That moment when you have to use Google to figure out whether user was using a math term or the normal English word. Reminded me of the "convolution" of two functions, and mathematicians are notorious for reusing terminology.

Cantor is my waifu.
Lawvere: "concentrate the essence of practice and in turn use the result to guide practice"
>tfw you fell for the Sagan meme as a kid
>mathematician
I like Erdos because of his obtuse lifestyle and total devotion to mathematics. In reality I might have to go with Riemann because of Riemann surfaces and because he was the one person Gauss seemed to respect.
Hamilton
[math] \frac{\partial \mathcal{S}} {\partial q} = 0 [/math]
[math] \mathbf{v}_B = \mathrm{q} \mathbf{v}_A \mathbf{q}^{-1} [/math]
Galois, his life is a fucking meme
alt gr + s = ß
>audrey hepburn face
>tfw you remember mathematics would be about two centuries more advanced if he had lived

Cantor sort of memed on everyone with infinite sets and I appreciate that
