How to Start:

Follow this link to "The Story of Mathematics (https://www.storyofmathematics.com/)," and read the story. Click on a few of the cultural contributors (China, Sumerian, Mayan, Islamic, Indian, etc.) to explore further. Click on a couple of eras (Early man, Middle Ages, Renaissance, 17th Century, etc.) of contribution to explore further. The first two points of discussion will follow from this story.

Next, either click on the tab labeled, Mathematicians, at the top of the "The Story of Mathematics," page, or follow this link(https://scientistspotlights.org/spotlight-search/?pageNumber=5&sort=post_date) to that page. Based on your first point of discussion, use this page on Mathematicians as your second point of discussion. You may also want to explore more mathematicians and scientists on the Instagram page (mathematicianslooklikeallofus) and/or on the Spotlight page linked here(https://scientistspotlights.org/spotlight-search/?pageNumber=5&sort=post_date). Remember that whomever you choose you must have enough information to create a paper about.

1. What is one cultural contributor that interests you from those given? What was it about that cultural contributor that interests you or that caught your attention?
2. What is one era of contribution that interests you from those given? What was it about that era of contribution that interests you or that caught your attention?
3. Based on your exploration of the Mathematicians page and maybe even from your exploration of cultural contributors and eras of contribution, give the names of three mathematicians that stood out and briefly explain what stood out about each.
