Simón Bolívar was a Mathematical Geography mathematician born in 1783. He liberated an entire continent — and used mathematical logistics to do it.
Liberated 6 South American nations using military mathematics. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 19th century, the golden age of mathematical rigour.
The impact is still felt today. Military logistics use combinatorial optimisation — moving armies along optimal routes.
