   Name
   Gender
   Picture
   Date & place of birth
   Date& place of death
   Brief description of the time period that they were born in
   Educational background
   Field of mathematical study
   Description of that study
   Contributions to the field of mathematics
   Contributions to fields other than mathematics (if any)
   Struggles they may had to overcome (if any)
   A quotation that they may be known for
   
   
3. Print out four invidiual worksheets from your computer. Use these forms to write out the information that you researched. **Hand writing must be in PRINT**
