Fields, John Charles - brief biography with links to info about the Fields medal
 
Fisher - Ronald Aylmer Fisher (1890-1962) - Made important discoveries in statistics (eg. maximum likelihood), genetics, selection and (genetic) dominance. It could be said that he invented a large part of modern statistics.
 
Ganitanjali: Scholar In India - An appreciation of the life of this mathematics teacher and researcher: "...a smartly dressed tall gentleman wearing panchakatcham dhoti, coat and turban, with a permanent smile on his face and kindness in his eyes."
 
Goldbach, Christian (1690-1764) - Did important work in number theory, much of it in correspondence with Euler, best remembered for his conjecture that every even integer greater than 2 can be represented as the sum of two primes.
 
Hamilton - Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805-1865) - Characteristic Function in Optics, General Method in Dynamics, Equations of the Fifth Degree, Quaternions
 
Hesse - Ludwig Otto Hesse (1811-1874) - Main work was in the development of the theory algebraic functions and the theory of invariants. He introduced the Hessian determinant in a paper in 1842 during an investigation of cubic and quadratic curves.
 
Huygens, Christiaan (1629-1695) - Dutch physicist who was the leading proponent of the wave theory of Light, was also the mentor of Leibniz in math and mechanics.
