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)

- 1821 - 1895 Arthur Cayley. See figure 3.
- 1596 - 1650 Rene Descartes. See figure 3 (the letters are in reverse)

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.
