This paper explores the significant contributions of Western scientists to the development of mathematics from ancient Greece to the modern era. Key figures such as Euclid, Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss are examined for their groundbreaking work in geometry, calculus, and number theory. The study highlights the interdisciplinary impact of these contributions, illustrating how mathematical innovations shaped fields like physics, engineering, and computer science. Additionally, it emphasizes the cultural and historical contexts that facilitated mathematical advancements, showcasing the dynamic evolution of mathematical thought and its lasting legacy in contemporary society.
