• Aristotle (384-332BC) was a Greek philosopher and scientist. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology.
• Gaius Julius Caesar (100-44BC) was a Roman general and statesman. He is the author of the Commentarii de Bello Gallico (Commentaries on the Gallic War), campaigns in Gallia and Britannia during his term as proconsul. His writing is real scientific.
• Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was was an Italian polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer.

• Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. He is considered by many scholars and members of the general public to be one of the most influential people in human history.
• Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose ecclesiastical and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity.
• Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was a pioneering Swiss mathematician and physicist. He made important discoveries in fields as diverse as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory.
• Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) was a German mathematician and scientist. He contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, geophysics, electrostatics, astronomy and optics.
• Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was a Jewish theoretical physicist. He is often regarded as the father of modern physics.
• Kurt Gödel(1906-1978) was an Austrian logician, mathematician and philosopher. One of the most significant logicians of all time, Gödel made an immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking.
