100
This person formulated the laws of motion, discovered gravity, and invented calculus.
Sir Isaac Newton
100
This fundamental theorem states that, if f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and F is the indefinite integral of f on [a,b], then
The First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
100
This Greek letter is commonly used to represent a generic angle in Geometry.
Theta:
100
This famous number is an irrational mathematical constant, also known as Archimedes' Constant.
Pi:
100
This number is the only nonnegative number that cannot be written as a roman numeral.
0
200
This person is credited for discovering the most well-known theorem in Geometry. (Hint: Triangles)
Pythagoras
200
This theorem states that the distribution of a sample approximates a normal distribution as the sample size becomes larger, regardless of the population's actual distribution shape. This is not actually a fundamental theorem, but it is widely known as the "Fundamental Theorem of Statistics."
The Central-Limit Theorem
200
This Greek letter is commonly used to represent the population mean or expected value in probability and statistics.
mu:
200
This famous number is an irrational mathematical constant, also known as Euler's Number.
e
200
This was the very first irrational number discovered, also known as Pythagoras' Constant.
√2
300
This person made big developments in Probability Theory and has a famous triangle named after them.
Pascal
300
This fundamental theorem tells us that for any continuous function, f on any open interval, I, and any point, a in I, states that if F is defined by 
then 
at each point in I.
The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
300
This Greek letter represents many things, most notably the chromatic number of a graph in graph theory, the Euler characteristic in algebraic topology, and there is a statistical distribution with the same name.
Chi:
300
This famous number can be used to extend the real numbers to what are called complex numbers.
The imaginary Unit: i
300
This person invented the triple bar symbol (≡) for congruence.
Gauss
400
This person is known for proving the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra for their dissertation and for making many discoveries in number theory and physics.
Gauss
400
This fundamental theorem states that every polynomial equation of degree n with complex number coefficients has n roots, or solutions, in the complex numbers.
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
400
This Greek letter is commonly used to represent a diagonal matrix of eigenvalues in linear algebra.
Lambda:
400
This famous number is the proportionality constant connecting the gravitational force between two bodies with the product of their masses and the inverse square of their distance.
The Universal Gravitational Constant: G
400
Many historians believe that this person may have constructed the very first mathematical proof.
Pythagoras
500
This person worked in almost all areas of math, most notably geometry and calculus. The identity named after them is displayed on the side of Herman Hall.
Euler
500
This fundamental theorem states that every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic. Moreover, for a finite cyclic group of order n, every subgroup's order is a divisor of n, and there is exactly one subgroup for each divisor.
The Fundamental Theorem of Cyclic Groups.
500
This Greek letter represents many things, most notably a small positive quantity in Real Analysis and a random error in Regression Analysis.
Epsilon:
500
This famous number is a mathematical constant used in stoichiometry.
Avogadro's Constant/Number
500
This is the the cardinality, or size of the set of natural numbers, also known as the smallest infinite number.
