Summary:This is the third member of the 'On the shoulders of giants' series that takes an outstanding mathematician, tells something of their life and work, and provides an item or two based on their achievements that can be used in a primary class. We choose important mathematicians who have made significant advances in the subject. But what do these people look like? This is an interesting question to ask students. Can they draw some of them they might have heard about? So, do mathematicians look big and fat or small and skinny? Do they have beards or long hair? What sorts of clothes do they wear? Do they wear glasses?
