The names in bold are found in the word scramble. After each name, I wrote "figure 1" through "figure 4" to indicate which diagram to check out below. For instance, Abel is in figure 2 representing all of the horizontal letter configurations.
- 1802 - 1829 Niels Henrik Abel (your teacher made a typo and wrote "Neils" instead of "Niels"). See figure 2
- 1718 - 1799 Maria Gaetana Agnesi. See figure 2 (purple oval); the letters are in reverse.
- 1845 - 1918 Georg Cantor. See figure 4 (the letters are in reverse)
- 1789 - 1857 Augustin-Louis Cauchy. See figure 4 (letters are in reverse)
- 1821 - 1895 Arthur Cayley. See figure 3.
- 1596 - 1650 Rene Descartes. See figure 3 (the letters are in reverse)
- 330? - 275? BC Euclid. See figure 2.
- 1707 - 1783 Leonhard Euler (your teacher made a typo and wrote "Leonard" instead of "Leonhard"). See figure 4.

Some names like "Euclid" don't have last names.
The diagrams are shown below.
When you cross everything out used in figures 1 through 4, you'll be left with what you see in figure 5. The remaining letters not crossed out (when read left to right, top to bottom) spell out: Leopold Kronecker. He was a mathematician born 1823 and died 1891. The remaining letters are marked in green.
