Simon Stevin
Simon Stevin (1548/49 – 1620) was a Belgian mathematician and engineer. He was active in a great many areas of science, both theoretical and practical, but may be best known for his translation of various mathematical terms into common Dutch language, making it the only European language in which the word for mathematics ('wiskunde') was not derived from the Greek (via Latin).
