An interesting article I just stumbled across in my Twitter feed. The 5 most important equations!
e=mc2 (Einstein)
a2=b2+c2 (Pythagoras)
The second Law of Thermodynamics
Calculus (Newton and Leibniz)
The Universal Law of Gravitation (Newton)
A pretty decent list I should think. I'm not at all surprised to see Isaac Newton with two entries on that list, being as he was the most influential scientist to ever have lived.
