TASK:
     Each group must write a report on a mathematician who contributed significantly to mathematics.  
     See A History of the Calculus for a list of mathematicians.

THINGS TO DO:
Get together and decide which person you want to write about.

Give some history of the person's life.  Include some unusual anecdotes, if possible.  Some of these people were unusual
characters.

Include some of the mathematics your person worked on.  If he/she was famous for some theorem or mathematical idea, be
sure to include that.  I want to see the mathematics, not just read that this mathematician worked on this idea, so find some you
understand..

You should use at least 4 sources, not all on the Web.

The paper should be typed and bound in a plastic binder.  Include a resource page.

CLASS PRESENTATION:
Set up an interview with your mathematician.  One person in your group will be the interviewer and another will be the mathematician.  The other members of your group will be supporting actors.  They may be other people involved in your mathematician's life.  Give about a ten minute interview, then open it up to questions from the audience.  You may dress appropriately for the time of the mathematician, if you like.

Schedule of presentations:  (Papers should be turned in the day of the presentation)
Group 1: October 10
Group 2: October 15
Group 3: October 17
Group 5: October 22
