Mathematicians-Bingo - NACHO is our winner!!!

[wolfmom]

7/10 with Isaac and Sofia. Did you know it is believed Isaac Newton had aspergers?
I only found out as my daughter is probably aspergers (whole other tale there) and I looked up famous folk who have/ are believed to have had it. She was thrilled to discover that Isaac Newton and Einstein were on the list

[tiffstitch]

none for me, still at 6

[backafteradozenyrs]

Nothing new for me today...holding at 6/10.

[Ketta]

Up to 5/10.. definitely not even close this time around! Good luck to those that are close, we've got to have a winner this weekend!

[Emmylou]

Woo with today's two I'm up to 8/10

[MaudL]

Well thank you Sofia for bringing me past the half-way mark, 6/10

[debupnorth]

Sir Isaac got me to 9/10 today! Close, so close...

[LadyS]

6 with Newton.

[rcperryls]

Both today. So 7/10. I bet we have a winner tomorrow as it seems several are at 8 or 9. Good luck.

Back to none again but both are very interesting to read. Thank you for doing this series.

I got 1 today thanks to Mr. Newton . So I'm at 6/10. I'm proud that I can claim German descent in my background along with Danish and other nations. That's why I think it's wonderful that the Germans are represented

[megan_bright]

I got both today! 6/10!

[jocellogirl]

Both today, hip, hip, hurrah!!
I only need three, I'm getting happy

[Juel]

There are a lot of you already close to their ten numbers. Maybe We will have a winner today =)

11) Rene Descartes
Rene Descartes was born on 31st March 1596 in La Haye en Touraine, France and was a French philosopher and mathematician.
So here is a philosophy-fact, because it's far more known than his mathematical achievements.
"Cogito ego sum" - "I think, therefore I am"
The long version of this is, that Descartes principle is the following: Thought exists.
I cannot be separated from my thoughts, therefor, I exists.
So I can conclude:
If I doubt my existence, something in me must "do the doubting", that's the thinking-part, and because I need to think to doubt my existence, I think and therefore I exist.
This actually means that I just proofed my own existence by doubting it

He did a lot of that freaky thinking stuff Very good for confusing other people

19) Felix Klein
Felix Klein was born on 25th April 1849 in Düsseldorf, Germany and was a German mathematician. (Another German......)
He did a lot of work in geometry and helped the University of Göttingen (Germany) to become a capital of mathematics, which it was for a long time (I think there is still a lot of maths going on there, I was thinking about changing university and this was among the universities I thought about)
What is most known is the "Klein Bottle", a bottle where you can not tell inside and outside apart. Like the Möbius strip, it has one surface.

(Image is again from Wikipedia)
You can actually get a Klein Bottle from two Möbius strip, you just have to glue the edges together (mathematically seen).
There is a lot of geeky stuff about the bottle, for example you can get a "Klein Bottle Winebottle", a Klein Bottle and you can put wine in there
And there are hats in the shape of this bottle, they go perfectly with a Möbius scarf

I have 7, but I am sure someone will bingo today.

That bottle is a bit loopy.

[rcperryls]

I have one thanks to Descartes who proves I exist (I guess ). Makes it 8/10 but I think we will be having a Bingo today. And I agree with Laura that is one loopy bottle.

That bottle is a bit loopy.

Exactly what she said.

[OctoberLace]

After disqualifying myself from this one, I'm watching to see who will win and be hosting the next Bingo. My picks were chosen with the random number function in Excel, so if I had just sent in the top 10 instead of 15 I would be at 8/10 with none from today. If no one wins today, I do hope Mother's Day (tomorrow in the USA) is lucky for someone! Theresa

[nachosmiley]

BINGO

Thanks Mr. Klein and your amazingly odd bottle...you were the one I was waiting for and we even share birthdays....how odd!! This has been a fascinating bingo Juel, thanks very much for hosting

[wolfmom]

8/10 for me too. I came here to see who the winner was as I'm sure someone will win soon.
Very strange loopy bottle
