  5. Oct 8, 2024 · Pierre de Fermat is referred to as the father of modern number theory, and rightly so. He has touched on geometry and calculus and worked on theories of probability. His works are: Discovery of analytical geometry. The study of geometry drawn on a graph is known as analytical geometry.
