The name given to a triangle with all sides of different lengths.
What is "scalene"?
200
This person is credited for discovering the most well-known theorem in Geometry. (Hint: Triangles)
Who is 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."
What is the Central-Limit Theorem?
200
This Greek letter is most often used to represent a summation of values or expressions. The lowercase letter is used to represent the population standard deviation in probability and statistics.
What is Sigma: ?
200
This famous scientist has a birthday on this day.
Who is Albert Einstein?
200
This type of number has no factors other than 1 and itself.
What is a prime number?
300
This person made big developments in Probability Theory and has a famous triangle named after them.
Who is 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.
What is the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?
300
This Greek letter is commonly used to represent the population mean or expected value in probability and statistics.
What is mu:
300
Rajveer Meena recited this many decimal places of the irrational number in 2015.
What is 70,000?
300
This was the very first irrational number discovered, also known as Pythagoras' Constant. Geometrically, this number is the length of a diagonal across a square with sides of one unit of length.

Who is 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.
What is the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra?
400
This Greek letter most often represents a fintite difference or change in variables. Also used for giving heat in a chemical reaction.

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.
Who is Euler?
500
This fundamental theorem states every integer greater than 1 can be represented uniquely as a product of prime numbers, up to the order of the factors. Also known as the "unique factorization theorem".
What is the Fundamental Theorem of Arithemtic?
500
