Developed "Pythagoras' theorum" on right triangles which is the end triangle whose sides are in the ratio 3:4:5 is a right angled triangle Pythagoras Greek. States that the square of the hypoteneuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides Pythagorean theorum Greek. Published "Elements" well known for his 5th or parallel postulate that one and only one line can be drawn through a point parallel to a given line. Demonstrated that there are 5 and only 5 regular solids. Euclid
Known for his approximation of the value of pi that is between 3 10/70> pi > 3 10/71 Archimedes Italian. Established the Hindu-Aribic numbers as the standard computational symbolism, causing the Roman abacus to become obsolete.

Wrote "An Anatomical Treatise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals Harvey Itialian. Called the Founder of Microscopic Anatomy. Discovered capillaries on the surface of the lung and demonstrated that they connect arteries with veins, confirming Harvey's explanation for blood circulation. Malpighi
English. First person to observe cells. Wrote "Micrographia" which was a milestone in the history of microscopy. He introduced the term "cells" in his work. Hooke Dutch.

Austrian. Discovered the basic principles of heredity through a breeding experiment with peas in teh monastery garden. His work laid the foundation for the new science of genetics. Mendel French. Pioneer in bacteriology. Killed microbes by heat and saved the French silk and wine industry in 1864. Later his method, pasteurization, helped perserve milk, beer, and food.
