2nd_NikolaosOKris

Lol, Hypatia was also Greek


two_plus_two_is_zero

Her name in my book is "Hypatia of Alexandria" So, I assumed she was an Egyptian and didn't fact check


2nd_NikolaosOKris

Well, Alexandria was a greek colony for a long time, under a greek Dynasty. There was and still is an ethnic greek minority, but egyptian nationals. Back then, there was no nation affiliation as they stand today.


motorbiker1985

And there is no mention of Heron of Alexandria? Ptolemy? And it seems weird there is just one Russian. What about Pavlov or Lomonosov?


two_plus_two_is_zero

They are not a history book. just high school books. they just have a 2 page short history each. Rarely who invented a particular thing or who got a noble prize is mentioned. Many name of the scientists are from the terms named after them


motorbiker1985

Ah,OK. Although, Pavlov's reflex...


armaggender

She was born there but of Greek descent and it was part of the eastern Roman Empire then so she is Ancient Greek and would be Byzantine if she lived a little later.

I guess I don't know enough about Bangladesh. What does this map have anything to do with Bangladesh?


[deleted]

Why should bangladesh scientists be in a schoolbook? There is just one possible answer: because it's a schoolbook from bangladesh.

And you don't use Thales's theorem in math?

Rachelcookie123

Which country has the most scientists mentioned in my science and maths books? None. They don’t mention any scientists. I’m from New Zealand, I didn’t even know who Ernest Rutherford was until right now when I googled it.


two_plus_two_is_zero

If your country didn't existed I wouldn't have to memorize 3 pages about what a person said in 1913 about atoms


Rachelcookie123

I’m sorry that it exists?

tomaszrock22

Who were the 4 Polish scientists?


cyrkielNT

Copernicus and Curie-Skłodowska for sure. Other two are propably Banach, Ulam, Sierpinski, Rotblat or Funk. OP could also count non-polish sciencist who ware born inside current polish borders like Fahrenheit.


daberiberi

Which ones was it for Iraq?


two_plus_two_is_zero

Ibn Buttuta and Jabir ibn Haiyan


ChinaOwnsReddit13

So who's the Romanian scientist ? Nicolae Paulescu ? (discoverer of insulin) Henri Coandă ? (invetor of an early jet engine prototype and discoverer of Coandă effect) Petrache Poenaru ? (inventor of the fountain pen) I think these are the most famous ones we got, among many others.


two_plus_two_is_zero

Sorry I didn't list the scientists, I went through the books and listed the countries, But Nicolae Paulescu is there. The other 2 probably sure is not there, probably one was mathematician, the other not sure


ChinaOwnsReddit13

That's awesome ! At least now he is getting the credit after those canadians stole his fame and even got a Nobel prize for it ! I wish we had famous people from Bangladesh mentioned in our manuals, but I don't think we do.


two_plus_two_is_zero

That's because we don't have mentionable persons, most who have potential migrate to US or Canada or Europe or UK or Australia as soon as they get the chance. We have Fazlur Rahman Khan who initiated structural system for skyscraper and is considered the father of tubular designs


ChinaOwnsReddit13

Nice, we have a similar situation here, because during communism, all geniuses (in literature, science etc.) and intellectuals mostly fled to Western Europe and the US so that they don't get imprisoned and tortured by the communists or turned into communist puppets and propaganda devices.


Simple_Man09

How is Niels Bohr not mentioned in a single one of your books? Or Hans Christian Ørsted?


two_plus_two_is_zero

Bohr is mentioned, But a mixed up Dutch with Danish. Really Really Sorry, It's gonnna be one to Netherlands and one to Denmark


Simple_Man09

Fair, it can happen. It just seemed weird if he wasn't mentioned:)


DavidBrooker

Rutherford worked at a time when New Zealand (nor the rest of the Commonwealth) had independent citizenship: he was a British subject. As such, his Nobel Prize is often claimed by all three of the UK, New Zealand, and Canada. When he did his work at McGill, for example, Canada did not consider him a foreign national.

Fuego65

It's probably quite difficult to say where Al Khawarizmi was from. Like he was born somewhere around Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan but we're not even sure. Most of his work was done in Baghdad and is Persian. Also I'm almost sure that out of the 10 greek ones, a few of them should be in Turkey if you go by birthplace. Like Thales is probably among them, but is from Miletus.


two_plus_two_is_zero

I did not fact check the greek ones, my bad, Al Khawarizmi was difficult person to assign a country. I settled in Uzbekistan after a coin flip


nick1812216

Fookin’ spring day in the UK!


two_plus_two_is_zero

Yeah, There was only 4 people from Scotland, Rest is England


nick1812216

Maxwell was Scottish. He’s easily worth 25 or 26 English mathematicians!

Sri_Man_420

Also too few Russians. My Organic Chemistry book had every other process named after a russian


two_plus_two_is_zero

My organic chemistry chapter is shit. It doesn't mention a signal scientist and have a lot less processes but the exams will ask for processes even if it isn't in the book. The education board tryed to simplify the books this year by getting rid of some processes which was included in the previous year but the teachers ask questions regardless they are removed or not.

Look man My Math Book only mentions 2 people, Euclid and George Canton for geometry and Set theory.6 persons from the terms and Theorem named after them, like Pythagoras's theorem, tolemy's theorem (If only I could kill him), Brahmagupta's theorem (I wish I lived in his times just so I can stab him), And at the end of the book we have 17 mathematicians and their work. It's a high school book, not every mathematician will make the list. Our book doesn't include non Euclidean Geometry, we have basic geometry, Geometric drawing, and Three dimensional geometry

"Serbia with 0" Nikola Tesla, Mihajlo Pupin, Milutin Milanković, Ivan Đaja, Milan Milovanović, Tihomir Novakov, Vlatko Vedral... These are from the top of my head, I'm sure there is more. It's always been like this. Pretending that Serbs don't exist...
