1. Project: Mathematics, the language of the universe, has been significantly

3
 known as the 'Father of Geometry,' laid the foundational work for the
understanding of real numbers through his axiomatic approach in 'Elements'.
Then there's Pythagoras, whose famous theorem has implications in various
realms of mathematics, including the properties of real numbers. Carl
Friedrich Gauss, often hailed as the 'Prince of Mathematicians,' made
groundbreaking contributions to number theory, which is the backbone of
real numbers. These mathematicians, with their profound insights and
discoveries, have left an indelible mark on the world, influencing countless
aspects of science, engineering, and even philosophy. Their work continues
to inspire and challenge students and scholars alike, proving that the
exploration of mathematics is a never-ending journey of curiosity and
wonder.Prepare a PPT on Ancient Indian Mathematicians and their
contributions to Real Numbers.
