You can search for a mathematician, find who was their advisor, and their advisor, and so on.
- pouetpouet 9y agoLagrange and Laplace -> Poisson -> Michel Chasles -> Jean-Gaston Darboux -> Émile Borel -> Georges Valiron -> Laurent Schwarz -> Jacques-Louis Lions -> Haïm Brezis -> Pierre-Louis Lions -> Cédric Villani Lagrange also advised Fourier, Schwartz also advised Grothendieck, Borel also advised Lebesgue etc... Lagrange was advised by Euler, and Laplace by D'Alembert So another path is Euler -> Lagrange -> Fourier -> Navier another one: D'Alembert -> Laplace -> Poisson -> Dirichlet -> Lipschitz -> Felix Klein -> Lindemann -> Hilbert etc etc
- partycoder 9y agoI didn't know of this Galileo Galilei, Torricelli -> Vincenzo Viviani -> Isaac Barrow -> Isaac Newton
- soVeryTired 9y agoIt's pretty amazing - almost everyone goes back to a few greats: Gauss, Euler, Hilbert, and sometimes Newton.
