Archimedes, Newton, Gauss, Euler, Grothendieck
The greatest mathematician of modern times is Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). He is also known as "Prince of Mathematicians", "greatest mathematician since antiquity" and "German Archimedes". According to Felix Klein, greatest mathematician of the nineteen century, "if we seek heroes of roughly equal stature in the history of our science, only two forerunners of Gauss can be considered to have been equally blessed by nature: Archimedes and Newton" (in "Development of Mathematics in the 19th Century", page 55).
This question is too general to give a short answer to. The top three names are usually considered to be Archimedes, Newton, Gauss (in historical order). Some more are Euclid, Fermat, Leibniz, the Bernoulli family, Euler, Laplace, Lagrange, Weierstrass, Hilbert, Noether, von Neumann. A very extensive website is http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/ - look at the Biographies Index. There is an overwhelming amount of information here. A book on the history of mathematics will give an overview.

He was the greatest mathematician of modern times and one of the three greatest ever, along with Archimedes and Newton. Gauss defined the modern concept of mathematical rigour, consolidated number theory as an important field and was a pioneer in non-euclidean geometry. He also proved connections between complex numbers,algebra and geometry and built important developments in physics (electromagnetism, optics and practical astronomy). He was probably the last man to dominated the all fields of mathematics.

Gauss is ranked along with Archimedes and Newton as one of the three greatest mathematicians of all times.
Srinivasa Ramanujan, who was said by GH Hardy to have talent "in the same league as legendary mathematicians such as Gauss, Euler, Cauchy, Newton and Archimedes", passed away at the age of 32 in Chetput, Madras, India.
Gauss was a famous mathematician along with Archimedes and Newton. They were said to be the 3 best mathematicians in that time.

A mathematician is someone who does math as a profession and may calculate statistics or solve mathematical problems for a company or group of people. They can also just be people who are experts in math. If you are asking for examples of a mathematician, some examples could be Leonhard Euler and Carl Gauss, who aren't mentioned as much in popular media. However, a more famous one is Isaac newton.
Leonhard Euler, Jacob Jacobi, Srinivasa Ramanujan and Carl Gauss.
In my opinion: Carl Frederich Gauss Leonard Euler ... and the third is a toughie. Maybe Bernoulli, maybe Archimedes... I can't really choose. There are definitely other contenders out there, though. The first two, however, are definite in most people's opinions.
