Top 10 Mathematicians of All Time  

Being the nerds that we are, it was only a matter of time before Old-Wizard released a Top 10 Mathematicians of all time list.  The only question would be what criteria we would use when determining the order of the list.  Would it be based on the volume of the mathematician's contributions to the mathematical community?  If so, Euler would be the obvious choice for the number one mathematician of all time.  Or, would we base the list on the significance of the mathematicians' "discoveries"?  If so, Newton would dominate our list.  Or, what if we based our list on the originality of the mathematician's ideas?  Well, if we did that, It would be hard to argue against making Cantor our number one mathematician of all time.  In the end, we decided not to use any one of these criteria exclusively, instead, we choose a combination of all three of these to decide our list.  All three were considered equally, and the results may or not surprise you, depending on your mathematical disposition.  So, without any further adieu, we present the Old-Wizard.com Top Ten Mathematicians of All Time List:
