Who are the top 5 greatest mathematicians of all time?

Answer 1

Euler is most probably up there in the mathematics applicable to physics and elsewhere, his name is everywhere (and things have been named after other people which were discovered by him). Gauss is another big name from the physical perspective and from informatics (being mostly applied mathematics) Turing is miles ahead of anyone else.

Here is a list:

Read a bit about these people; Steve Job's impact on the world is nothing compared to these men (they are all men; that was another time).
