Victor Neumann Lara, was a Mexican born Mathematician. Victor was a very big figure in Mexican mathematics, and he helped inspire many of the younger generation in Mexico. Victor introduced the concept of the dichromatic number of a directed graph in 1982. In his time as a mathematician, he traveled all over the world to teach hundreds of courses to the younger generation. Victor was also a pioneer in the field of graph theory in Mexico. Before he ended up passing away in 2004, he had the chance to have a kid in 1962, named Max Neumann-Coto, who is currently 62 years old and also followed in his father's footsteps and became a mathematician.

The reason I personally choose Pedro Vicente Maldonado, is because we both are from the same country. What Pedro is mostly known for is the The Spanish-French Geodesic Mission. The Geodesic Mission was an 18th century journey to what is now Ecuador carried out for the purpose of performing an arc measurement, measuring the length of a degree of latitude near the Equator, by which the Earth's radius can be inferred.

Later on In Spain, in 1746, he was received by Philip V, who bestowed upon him the title of "Gentleman of the Royal Camera".

than later he proclaimed him Governor of Atacames, with a state benefit pension to last for two generations.

Isaac Newton represents a mathematician, physicist, astronomer and ect. He is a well known person in physics who used calculus in physics. He was involved in physics and I'm interested in physics, so the connection we share is our interest in physics. Isaac Newton had a major contribution in math. He invented calculus and opened a new way of math. He built the first reflecting telescope.

I learned about the mathematician Jaime Escalante. He is part of the Hispanic culture, just like me. I chose him because we are both Hispanic men. He helped students in poor communities do really well in math, especially in AP Calculus. His students got very high scores on big math tests, and that surprised a lot of people. He became famous for the way he taught and helped his students succeed. There was even a movie made about his life called Stand and Deliver. I think he is really inspiring because he showed that anyone can do well in math if they work hard.

Alejandro Adem is considered one of the most successful Mathematicians. He has delivered over 360 research Lectures around the world. 1 way that I connect with him is that we are both Mexican. I chose this mathematician because he is very accomplished and has a good reputation.

The reason I chose Julio Garavito Armero, is because of the fact that we were both born and raised from the same region/country of Colombia. Garavito was one of the oldest and most famous mathematicians in his nation during the time he was still alive. A couple of ways that people were able to recognize garavito was by his engineering ideas for coming up with a certain bridge design that is still used to this day. But what he was mostly known for was his mathematics and astronomy of keeping track of the moons movement while having his face featured on his nationality's currency.

This is Hortensia Galeana Sánchez, the reason I chose her is because we are both Mexican women and she was born and raised in Mexico city too as like my parents which is why I connect to her. She also specializes in graph theory and is the director of the institute of mathematics at the national autonomous university of Mexico. one thing that she has done is that she is a member of her university's Mexican academy of sciences and won a national university prize in 1995 and in 2015. An interesting fact about Hortensia is that she teaches in the same university that the earned her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in.

The reason I chose Melania Alvarez is because we are both Mexican women and shes very passionate when it comes to helping others. I feel like this is a reason I connect to her because I myself like to help others when I'm able to do so. Melania Alverez is a Mexican mathematics educator. She was born in December 1955. She works as the education coordinator at the Pacific institute for mathematical science. One major contribution to mathematics that Alverez has is her out reach programs and initiatives for underrepresented groups, including indigenous students, she is also known for developing programs and summer mathematics camps to help improve mathematical education. Another interesting fact about her is her famous summer camps to help improve education. She also grew up in Mexico city and went to the national autonomous university of Mexico for her first university degree, later she earned several ,masters degrees.
