Pioneers Series
The Pioneers series is a set of 15 framed portraits of scientists who has affected the scientific field and the computer industry through the history. The frames will be hanged on the walls of the second floor and will be on permanent display on the walls.

Wilhelm Schickard
1592 - 1635

built the first automatic calculator in 1623


Charles Babbage
1791 - 1871

designed the first programmable computer


Isaac Newton
1643 – 1727

Newtonian mechanics, Universal gravitation, Optics, and developed the Three Laws of Motion


Albert Einstein
1879 – 1955

Father of modern physics, General relativity, Brownian motion and Mass-energy equivalence


Blaise Pascal
1623 - 1662

Constructed a mechanical calculator capable of addition and subtraction, called the Pascaline


George Boole
1815 - 1864

Inventor of Boolean algebra, the basis of all modern computer arithmetic


Al-Khawarizmi
780 - 850

The word algebra is derived from al-jabr, one of the two operations used to solve quadratic equations, as described in his book.


Euclid
300 BC

known as Euclid of Alexandria, was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the "Father of Geometry."


Joseph Fourier
1768-1830

French mathematician and physicist best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier series and their application to problems of heat transfer.


Gottfried Leibniz
1646 - 1716

Discovered the binary number system, algorithmic information theory, and invented the calculus ratiocinator.


Ada Lovelace
1815 - 1852

The world's first computer programmer, known for having written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine


Pythagoras
570 - 495 BC

Discovering the Pythagorean theorem


John von Neumann
1903 - 1957

Described a computer architecture in which data and program memory are mapped into the same address space. This architecture became the de facto standard


Max Planck
1858 – 1947

founder of the quantum theory, and thus one of the most important physicists of the twentieth century. Planck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.


Grady Booch
1955

Known for developing the Unified Modeling Language with Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh
