Dear Ziya, there have been several significant contributors to the field of Mathematics. Many scholars have been coined "The father of mathematics or a sub-field of math", but I doubt anyone can claim the absolute discovery of a field of knowledge which is empirically and progressively discoverable. We know there were major contributors of mathematical knowledge in the ancient world from India, Babylon and Greece. Archimedes (287 BC – 212 BC) was the greatest mathematicians of all time hence we can consider him as "Father of Mathematics"
