Place and date of birth: Havana Cuba; October
22, 1906
Occupation: mathematician,
professor, lawyer, writer
Civil status: Married

"Algebra" was very successful in all Spanish-speaking countries.
Aurelio Baldor sold the rights to this book to the Editorial Publicaciones
Cultural, of Mexico. In the 1940s he founded the Baldor School in Havana, where
he was also director, located in the residential area of El Vedado, on 13th and
Linea streets;had 3,500 students
Process to achieve it: After
the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the Baldor School was nationalized by the
Government of Cuba and the students stopped paying pensions. According to his
information, Daniel Baldor Aranalde Raúl Castro ordered him arrested, but
Camilo Cienfuegos protected him. At that time he began to feel discomfort in
the prostate. On the death of Cienfuegos, in 1960, Baldor decided to leave the
country with his family: on July 19, 1960, he left for Mexico; Then I went to
the United States, first to New Orleans and then to New York. Later I got a job
as a professor at Saint Peter's University in Jersey City, New Jersey, the city
to which I moved. New Jersey He devoted himself to the study of theorems and
the gestation of pre-calculus mathematical exercises. Finally, Aurelio Baldor,
already retired, went with his wife, Moraima Aranalde and his children to
Miami, where he died on April 2, 1978 due to pulmonary emphysema.

2. Pythagoras
By Rafael Cabañas Rocha
Pythagoras
was born on the island of Samos (Greece), in 570 a. C. and died in Metaponto in
469 a. C., son of Mnesarco. He was a disciple of Thales and Fenecidas of Syria,
studied at the school of Miletus. He suffered exile to escape the tyranny of
the dictator Samio Polícrates, so he wandered until he settled in 531 BC. C. in
the Italian colonies of Greece, where he founded his famous Pythagorean school
in Crotona, in southern Italy. It is believed that he invented (if not his
disciples) the multiplication tables and that he was the first to demonstrate
the well- known theorem of Pythagoras.

4. Carl Friedrich Gauss
By Andrik García Reyes
Mathematician and physicist who made
significant contributions to many fields in mathematics and sciences. Sometimes
referred to as the Princeps mathematicorum
(Latin for "the foremost of
mathematicians") and "the greatest mathematician since
antiquity", Gauss had an exceptional influence in many fields of mathematics
and science, and is ranked among history's most influential mathematicians.
He further advanced modular arithmetic,
greatly simplifying manipulations in number theory. On 8 April he became the
first to prove the quadratic reciprocitylaw. This remarkably general
law allows mathematicians to determine the solvability of any quadratic
equation in modular arithmetic. The prime number theorem,
conjectured on 31 May, gives a good understanding of how the prime numbers are
distributed among the integers.
In 1840, Gauss published his influential Dioptrische
Untersuchungen, in which he gave the first systematic analysis
on the formation of images under a paraxial approximation (Gaussian optics).
On 23 February 1855, Gauss died of a heart attack in Göttingen.
5. Thales of Miletus (624-546 b.C)
Thales of Miletus was a Greek philosopher,
mathematician, geometer, physicist and legislator. He was born in Miletus. His
fathers were Examio and Cleobulina. He is considered as 1 of the seven sages of
Greek also he is the founder of the school of Miletus.
His contributions are the theorem of Tales,
philosophical knowledge and the use of the deductive thinking in geometry. We
are sure that he made much things but there isn’t enough information about him
and his life.
