Postage stamps are a colourful and attractive vehicle for presenting mathematics and its development. Mathematicians and their works have been recognised and celebrated over the years all over the world on postage stamps.
MATHEMATICIANS ON STAMPS
Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (German: 30 April 1777 - 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician and scientist who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, electrostatics, astronomy and optics.
The Introduction of the Metric System
The metric system was devised during the French Revolution (1789-1799) in order to standardise the different systems of measurement which were then being used. The metric system has standard units of measurement for problems involving length, area, volume, mass, temperature, electricity and time. Other units of measurement in the metric system are obtained by multiplying and dividing by powers of 10.
