POV : You've just been asked to name a famous spanish scientist or mathematician

>>213549555 (OP)
Ramón y Cajal

Whereas in any math textbook 50% of the names are French, 30% German, 10% Greek and 10% other. Please do not lump us with Meds *vomit* anymore, especially Spanish *vomit even more*. We actually are the superior sub race of the Europeans by mathematical achievement including 20th century-only mathematical achievement, which really is the only mattering achievement in the grand scheme of the universe.

>maths
it's not 50% french pierre its maybe 25
you've also forgotten russians in math, and the english

i thought about this some time ago too and i realized there isnt ONE fucking notable iberian scholar. even if you count the al andalus years its crazy. how did portugal and spain manage to bullshit their way into "builders of civilization" talks?

>it's not 50% french pierre its maybe 25
You've not gone far enough into math Nigel. The proportion raises from 25 to 50% after Fourier transforms and Lebesgue integrals
>you've also forgotten russians in math
Ok fair 10% Russian
>and the english
?

There is Severo Ochoa who won a nobel prize in the 1950's for his discovery of a method to synthesize RNA and Santiago Ramon y Cajal who founded modern neuroscience. For mathematics there is one that is a bit nicher but very popular with contemporary mathematicians. It was a woman who worked in Group Theory, but I don't recall her name

>>213549794
Maybe in french textbooks they have more french mathematicians.

Literally the only name I recognized is "Guinness" and that's because it's the name of a beer.

>>213550259
Actually I remember one : Dunford, like in the Dunford Decomposition (Linear Algebra). I actually thought the Jordan Decomposition was English too because the dumb bitch pronounced 'Jordan' the English way (it's a French name too but rarer in France), turns out Camille Jordan was actually a Frenchman.
Obviously other random mathematicians whose demonstrations I didn't have to read and understand do not count

>>213550741
Bertrand Russel?

alright

>>213549555 (OP)
do they not have jews in espana?

>>213551030
They had shepardi but theyre dumb and got kicked out

>>213550794
Meme mathematician. More of a philosopher. I missed Taylor though, like in the Taylor Series

What a shitty fucking list. Here’s a better one that separates by century:

Maybe in Analysis, but topology is like 50% Russian/Polish. There are definitely some frogs there too though (Poincare)

Servet for describing the pulmonary circulation

he was denounced by calvin and burned at the stake

Don't pretend you know anything about math Mr Amerifat. You guys learn about derivation only in college (2nd year of high school here, used to be 1st year).
You're right about the frequency of Russian names being higher though. In my original message I was thinking more of school textbooks while the focus shifted to more advanced textbooks.
Yet I will tell it to you again : don't pretend you know anything about math and topology in particular otherwise you wouldn't have named Poincaré when I named Lebesgue earlier. You would know what Lebesgue and Borel Sigma-Algebras are. And in fact you would know Analysis and Topology are connected through results you can thank these two mathematicians for, both French.

>>213551917
kek. I took two years of calculus in high school and am currently a math phd student. And I'm not fat. Keep coping.

>>213551981
Yet I, only a math bachelor, seem to know far more about math than you, which proves my point about you guys being total retards who have to import Changs and Jeets to do think the hard stuff in your place.

>>213552094
Word of advice my friend. If you wanna make it in mathematics, you gotta kill that ego before it kills you.

>>213552149
>If you wanna make it in mathematics
I don't, I picked CS as a master's major and that was a long time ago. And I will always remind you guys that you are complete retards, including larping PHDs with the math level of a Chinese middle schooler.

This, they kicked them out of Spain. So all the Spanish Jews moved to Portugal. Then the Spanish demanded that the Portuguese kick them out of Portugal in exchange for a royal marriage. Stupidly the Portuguese king agreed. Not even a full century later the Spanish used the royal marriage as an excuse to conquer Portugal during a regency crisis.

There is plenty of them

Airplane is a great movie btw

Why do we live rent free on /int/s minds?

>>213549803
First: STFU subhuman mafioid
Second: you will never be roman
Third: Portuguese and Spanish contacted the rest of the world, from America to Japan.
Sissy math faggots stayed home.

you're not iberian

You haven't been able to refute the op, it's over.
