1) Euclid.
2) Hipparchus. Then Ptolemee. Then several indian mathematicians.
Al Tusi, as usual at that time, just took the work of these bright indian people, wrote books and sold in europe later, that's why some believe that he did something useful. Oh my, it's still very usual now too...

the general concensus is that Euclid wasn't an expert at geometry, more he collated alot of other geometer's work (The Elements). not to say he wasnt a good mathematician but let's say, not a great one. Archimedes was a great greek mathematician who was an expert with geometry. Still, Euclid's influence was large because he compiled the first major text book which became (fairly) widespread and made major steps toward developing formal, rigorous proofs as we know them today.

Euclid is the Father of Geometry
Al-Tusi, a Muslim, is the "father of trigonometry"

To rvrusse:
No offense, but you must be retarded to think that a name like "Al Tusi" sounds even remotely Indian.
