The Man – The Myth – The Theorem



=When introducing a new theorem, postulate, definition, or property in class, we always go straight to how to prove and complete the problems. We never take the time to dig deeper and evaluate the people behind the theorems we are using. The lives behind the men who created Geometry are very interesting. They all had families, friends, hobbies, and a life before math. = =You are now going to discover the life of one of the most famous mathematicians in Geometry. I will assign which mathematician you will discover. After researching the life of your mathematician, you will share your information with 3 to 4 other classmates (only with students who have the same mathematician as you.) After sharing all of your information, I want you as a group to create a FaceBook page for your mathematician. = =Some important information to include would be the mathematician’s birthday, death, their discovery, family history, their friends, and relationships. You may find that a lot of the mathematicians have branched off of each other when discovering their theorem. If you notice this, make them friends on each other’s Facebook page. = =The document attached below gives a more detailed explanation of how this assignment will work..=
