The following information is based on the Mathematical Genealogy Project. Some of the photos were easier to come by than others. I would like to thank all the sources, anonymous or not.
Recently, the Mathematical Genealogy Database has been updated. The entries go back to the 14th century. To check a detailed lineage see the link to the right. One of the interesting names that now appears on the list is Copernicus.
