Isaac Newton	Carl Gauss	Archimedes	Leonhard Euler	Euclid	Bernhard Riemann
Henri Poincaré	David Hilbert	Alex. Grothendieck	G.W. Leibniz	J.-L. Lagrange	Pierre de Fermat

The Greatest Mathematicians of All Time
ranked in approximate order of "greatness."
To qualify, the mathematician's work must have breadth, depth, and historical importance.

At some point a longer list will become a List of Great Mathematicians rather than a List of Greatest Mathematicians. I've expanded the List to Seventy-five, but you may prefer to leave it at Forty or Thirty or even prune it back to just a Top Twenty or Top Fifteen or Top Ten List.
