Some items to note when reading:
place & year of birth, country/countries of living for bulk of life,
year and age at death, what motivated the person to pursue a career in
the mathematical sciences, the person's educational background, the
person's family and cultural background, whether or not the person's
family encouraged his/her study of mathematics, whether or not society
approved of the person's study of mathematics, the person's official
occupation. Essay on each mathematician should be at least 200 words
(so at least 800 words total), written in complete English sentences,
using good grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Other references, besides those listed here, may be used, and all
references should be listed, and contents paraphrased (not
