Didn't he marry a pigeon or something? Bit of a nutcase I heard, but then so were a lot of the great ones. I chose Leo da Vinch from the list of inventors. For minds in general I like Einstein or Newton (apparently he was a wackjob too).
Ha... He invented calculus and the laws of motion and stuff, too. He was a genius. But yeah, I guess...claiming credit for seeing an apple drop is pretty unimpressive.
That STARTED him thinking of the laws of motion, the attraction of objects like the moon circling the earth because of attraction which we call gravity. And he came up with proof that if you doubled the distance between two objects the attraction is the square root of the attraction of their original position. He was a genius if his day. Remember this was in the latter part if the 1600's to early 1700's.
If I were asked the greatest inventor of all time it would be hard to choose. Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Tesla. There are those who would be able to add more to the list but these are INVENTORS not theorists like Einstein for instance.
Given that you are a savant like me, I chose a problem involving partial derivatives that you might enjoy.
If
w = (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)^0.5,
x = e^r * cos(s), y = e^r * sin(s), z = e^s,
Find
∂w/∂r and ∂w/∂s. Hint: Use the chain rule for partial derivatives.
My MENSA group was talking about this problem last winter.
Rest assured that matrices of partial derivatives are important in a statistical method known as maximum likelihood which is strongly applicable to weapons targeting software. If you should decide to give up, I have a problem that is a bit easier for you.
If you want your mind blown with numbers just Google "fibonocci numbers". The concept is credited to Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci in 1202 but there are references back as far as 200BC. Fibonocci number sequences are common in nature such as the pattern of flower petals.
The fibonocci sequence is very easy to understand if you do a quick read on it.
Yes he did go crazy and fall in love with a pigeon. But so what?? He invented dc free electricity. The world would be so much better if we followed tesla instead of edison. Every time you turn on a light switch, that is tesla
I don't care if people call me crazy. Usually the people who get super offended about that stuff are the ones who deep down relate to the name they were called.
IIN I idolize Nikola Tesla

Whoever invented math is a moron.

and your mom
but it is unreasonably effective at describing the universe

😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂true
Da vinci is my second choice for brilliant minds hehe
Yes he did go crazy and fall in love with a pigeon. But so what?? He invented dc free electricity. The world would be so much better if we followed tesla instead of edison. Every time you turn on a light switch, that is tesla

he invented 3 phase ac electricity
dc was already widespread but not feasible for long distance transmission

Hey, I don't hold it against him. He was a great guy - just a nutcase, that's all. Never said there was anything wrong with that.
