I need to know the name of a mathematician who in some way has made a contribution that has advanced the field of mathematics. I also need to know how his/her contribution has changed something in society today.
I will choose a 5 star best answer in two hours, even if it doesn't deserve 5 stars, so hurry up.

Galois, a young Frenchman, wrote down the night before he was killed in a duel (I had originally written dual a result of his mathematics), some mathematics that later became group theory. The theory that there would be transuranic elements depended on the mathematics he started.
Transuranic elements give insights into the nature of the nucleus of the atoms of heavy elements which is essential for the nuclear generation of heat which boils water to turn turbines which make electricity. Electrons, some made by this nuclear generation, are transmitting this post.

i'm guessing this is hwk so all i have to say is
DON'T BE LAZY AND LOOK IT UP YOURSELF
you will get no where in life using other peoples brains because at the moment you are failing in life and if you want to succeed in life do your own homework

Isaaq Newton:
Newton is so famous for his calculus, optics and laws of motion, it is easy to overlook that he was also one of the greatest geometers. He solved the Delian cube-doubling problem. Even before the invention of the calculus of variations, Newton was doing difficult work in that field, e.g. his calculation of the "optimal bullet shape." Among many marvelous theorems, he proved several about quadrilaterals and their in- or circum-scribing ellipses, and constructed the parabola defined by four given points. He anticipated Poncelet's Principle of Continuity. An anecdote often cited to demonstrate his brilliance is the problem of the brachistochrone, which had baffled the best mathematicians in Europe, and came to Newton's attention late in life. He solved it in a few hours and published the answer anonymously.
