#OnThisDay Birth Anniversary of #Mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707) - responsible for developing many concepts that are an integral part of modern #Mathematics.
Birth Anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci (1452) - widely considered one of the #Greatest #Painters of all time.
Today is World #ArtDay.
This is my #linocut portrait of Claude Shannon (1916-2001), #mathematician, electrical #engineer, computer scientist & cryptographer credited with laying the foundations for the Information Age. It shows him in front of binary numbers & with his electromechanical mouse Theseus & its maze. Though partially behind him, the binary numbers are the standard ASCII code for "CLAUDESHANNON".

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. Her work on elasticity theory won her the grand prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. 🧵

Happy birthday to Olga Ladyzhenskaya (1922-2004), a #mathematician who overcame personal tragedy, faced Soviet totalitarianism & the catastrophic political upheaval of the 20th century to make a huge impact on the math, making important contributions to study of partial differential equations (PDEs). She changed the way PDEs are examined & popularized the notion of weak solutions (which satisfy the equations but may not be differentiable).🧵
