John Davis wrote a book called Famous Mathematicians that profiles ten of them that you can find at online booksellers. That should get you started.

What degree in college do you get as you are officially a mathematician?

To be considered a mathematician, one typically holds at least a bachelor's degree in mathematics or a related field. Many professional mathematicians pursue advanced degrees, such as a master's or Ph.D. in mathematics, to deepen their expertise and engage in research. However, the title of "mathematician" is not regulated, so individuals with varying educational backgrounds can identify as mathematicians based on their work and contributions to the field.

Is it a possibility for a mathematics expert to do well in physics and chemistry?

More than possible. It's a necessity. Physics is very much mathematics. Even the very simplest physics laws like Ohm's Law (3 variables) or the action of a crow-bar (4) are numerical, albeit just simple arithmetic. Chemistry may be less so, but you still need to know at least some maths and have the mathematician's logical mind. In fact there are few, probably no, areas of science that do not use mathematics.


Which science discipline uses the least mathematics?

Probably psychology if that is a science discipline but a knowledge of mathematics is still needed to a certain extent I would think.


What job did Gebhard Dietrich Gauss have?

Gebhard Dietrich Gauss was a German mathematician and physicist, widely regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He held various academic positions, including a professorship at the University of Göttingen, where he made significant contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and physics. Gauss is known for his work in number theory, statistics, and the method of least squares, among other areas. His legacy continues to influence numerous fields in science and mathematics today.

Who proved fundmental theorem of algebra?

The fundamental theorem of algebra was proved by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1799. His proof demonstrated that every polynomial equation with complex coefficients has at least one complex root. This theorem laid the foundation for the study of complex analysis and was a significant contribution to mathematics.


Did Albert Einstein create math?

No. The field of mathematics pre-dates Einstein by at least 2000 years but he did use some very advanced mathematics to develop and quantify his theories.


What is the average salary for someone with a bachelor's degree in mathematics?

According to a 2001 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, starting salary offers averaged $46,466 a year for mathematics graduates with a bachelor's degree. http://www.worldwidelearn.com/career-planning-education/engineering/mathematicians.htm#earnings According to a 2003 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, starting salary offers averaged $40,512 a year for mathematics graduates with a bachelor's degree. http://www.jobbankusa.com/career_employment/mathematicians/salary_wages_pay.HTML According to a salary survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, bachelor's degree candidates in mathematics received starting offers averaging $43,304 a year in 2005. http://www.collegegrad.com/careers/proft46.shtml#ear It is very hard to find the average salary for someone with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. Only starting salary can be found, because generally what you find is the average salary for mathematician and it takes PhD in math to become a mathematician. The latest data as of May 2006, shows that the average salary of mathematician is $86,930 an year http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos043.htm#earnings So based on the starting salary of someone with bachelor degree, you can add at least $15,000 to $20,000 an year to get average salary. So based on my estimate the average salary for someone with bachelor's degree in mathematics maybe in the range of $60,000 to $70,000 an year.
