It's Twitter, therefore Pooinloojan will win. End of thread.

>>9157208
Sir Isaac newton, also where is Grothendieck? he is clearly better and more influential than Ramanujan

>>9157224
this

Ramanujan has been romanticized on the internet

in terms of ability he was one of the greatest, yes

but in terms of accomplishments, he really didn't do anything groundbreaking, of course it was unfortunate that he didn't have a long life, but still

Grothendieck was much more groundbreaking and influential

>>9157227
i keep hearing this meme

>Grothendieck

what did he actually do?

>>9157230

Gauss

Was Groth. there from the beginning?

I mean, this is clearly between Gauss and Euler, and is probably Gauss right?

>>9157208
Archimedes just because he isn't there.

Who's this Srilankan Ramadanjuan fucker you're putting in with all the uncapitalized words that exist in all the math text books in the world?

>>9157208
Euler. Gauss is liked by engineers therefore the reddit mathematician

>>9157208
Euler obviously. No disrespecting the mathematical gangster himself.

You really try to sound like you know rare obscure facts, amirite?

shouldn't Euler be disqualified for being a Christian theist?

>>9157287
Euler is just as essential to engineers, if not more. We use complex exponentials a lot for transforms and transfer function analysis.

my boy euler gonna take this shit out lads

>caring about historical figures as such in a field as abstract as mathematics

Euler wasn't that good

>>9157217
>lmao the triangle dude

My vote is for euclid. Literally nobody knows anything about his life, but the elements was attributed to him after his death and was used as the defacto math learning tool for 2100 years. If anyone remembers these other guys in 1800 years, id consider voting elsewhere.

GauB of course

>No Poincaré

Jules Henri Poincaré (French: [ɑ̃ʁi pwɛ̃kaʁe] (29 April 1854 – 17 July 1912) was a French mathematician, theoretical physicist, engineer, and philosopher of science.
He is often described as a polymath, and in mathematics as The Last Universalist by Eric Temple Bell, since he excelled in all fields of the discipline as it existed during his lifetime.

Tbqh they would win if the voting was beind held in /sci/. But the voting is happening on twitter which means that the winners are

Omg is he like the calculus guy xDDDDD I love calculus!!!!!! It is so hard thoooo <33333

xD I LOVE GEOMETRY LOOL I LOVE SHAPES AND THINGS HAHA.

I HEARD ALL ABOUT THIS GUY IN MY STATISTICS 101 FOR RETARDS CLASS. IT WAS SOOO HARD !!!!!!!!! 11111 !!!!!!
>Pascal
THE PASCAL'S WAGER PROVES GOOOOD XDDDDDDD SCIENCE BTFO! ALSO LE EBIN TRIANGLE!
>Euler
I LEARNED ON THE CALCULUS 2 (REALLY HARD CLASS, I GOT A C) THAT HE PROVED THE SUM OF THE SEQUARES EQUALS -1 OVER PI SQUARED XDDDDDDDDD
>Riemann
XDDDD DID YOU SEE THE MEEEEM VIDEO ON LE REMAN HYPOPOTAMUS? WOWOW!!! HAHAH 1 MILLION DOLLARS DUDE I GOTTA STUDY!

Where the fuck is von Neumann?

>>9157911
Does he have a movie or a meme? I don't think so.

>>9157208
> ...objectively...
Not possible to determine, especially if no metric specified.

For fun: I would give my vote to Euler, Gauss or Euclid.
But as others pointed out, there are lots of brilliant people missing:
Hilbert
Gödel
Cantor
van Neumann
Erdos
Grothendieck
Kolmogorov
Galois
Abel
Noether
...

>>9157227
It depends of the criterias of this "olympiad". If it's on raw brainpower then Ramanujan deserves his place

>>9157208

Anons are free to quibble between Euler and Gauss. But any answer other than Euler or Gauss is a garbage answer.

I incline towards Euler for various reasons, as the absolute, literal Greatest Human Mathematician Who Ever Lived, Period.

>>9157544

Mathematics is not invented.

>>9157446

Yes he was so. For you to honestly intimate that he wasn't confirms you for not knowing anything about anything about math.

>>9159414
Of course you is, you tard. It is an application of human language; how can it predate humans?

>>9159418

Because mathematical truths are not /essentially/ "an application of human language" as you falsely characterize them, but instead states of affairs which persist independently of whether humans are around to appreciate them or not. You are making the same sort of confusion to yourself that a simple majority of the population, even within the mathematical community, make to themselves once they actually get into the real philosophy of this question. The irony of the whole thing is that the confusion of the majority can actually be cleared up with just a little clear thought.

A popular image on this topic: the onion is literally wrong, albeit performing a sort of sophistry, by appealing to "mathematical objects".

>>9159418
You know how difficult it is to invent mathematics with no real world application? G.H Hardy prided himself on the fact that his mathematics had no real uses until they were applied in quantum physics.

We may invent the nomenclature, but the nature of mathematics is not an invention.

no perelman?
no andrew wiles?

von Neumann was brilliant but he lacked the intuition of Newton and Ramamujan.

>>9157208
I think none of them are. The best mathematician in the history of mankind is certain to be alive right now.

>>9159906

Why would he need intuition? Having "eureka" moments only means that you're retarded most of the time.

>>9157330
who in bourbaki is as influential as gauss, euler??????

>>9159921
There was a survey where they asked math profs from around the world,
who is the "best"/most talented mathematician alive, the winner was:
Jean-Pierre Serre

>>9157208
It's not even close. Euler is the winner.

>>9160867
This might be the most simultaneously retarded and arrogant thing I have ever seen on /sci/. Congratulations.

Fermat obviously had great intuition, and he was pretty crafty.
Not GOAT by any means but definitely very gifted. Also I'm confused as to what an Amateur Lawyer could be.
