THIS IS sort of a combinations of math and history, because it's well, the history of math, so i need help finding 3 people from the past, the teacher gives us clues
1st one, male, born in greece about 287 BC, figured out the value for PI,
2nd one, gender unknown, born in paris, birth time unknown, developed a concept which now is called 'analytical geometry'
3rd one, male, born in 1718 in to a wealthy and literate family, when 13, learned to speak 7 languages, at age 21 (i think), was already discussing complex complex philosophical questions with adults on a regular basis, also Published "two - volume Analytical Institutions", x2y=4a2(2a-y)
those are the only ones that i dont know yet, so HELP!

It shouldn't be pythagoras, he was born in 580 bc.
1)Archimedes
2)René Descartes (pretty sure)
3)Maria Gaetana Agnesi (its a girl though)
I found Maria in the source below

1) Archimedes
2) Analytic geometry dates back to the classical greek period. The person you are looking for is probably Rene Descartes (male).
3) Maria Gaetana Agnesi

3. Maria Agnesi. She was female, not male!
