One of the great debates in our societies history is the argument between nurture vs nature. One side of the discussion is based on the idea of one's environments directly effects the individual. While the other side believe it is that genes, you receive from your parents that have more of lasting effect of what kind of person you become. Edward Waring was not of either beliefs, he was a God sent child, who was bless with the brain to compute and theorized countless topics in the field of mathematics. Edward Waring was born to a family of farmers in Shropshire, England. Throughout Edward Waring career in academia, he always had a hard time conveying his thoughts and opinions to those around him. He attended Magdalene College at Cambridge.…show more content… In order to expose Waring, William sent Waring a pamphlet of problems, accepting this challenge Waring solved these problems with ease. This form of testing, would last for some time before famous mathematician John Wilson came to siding with Edward Waring. Thus, establishing Edward Waring as chair of mathematics before the age of 24. During his time as chair he would publish his work, it was named Meditationes algebraicae It was here where mathematicians would find his ideology’s and solutions regarding math. After a couple years of mathematics, Waring started exploring the field of medicine. He received his Medicinae Doctor in 1770. He did not practice medicine but it was believed that he carried out dissections on his own discretion. Losing interest, Waring switched back to mathematics. It was during this rediscovery for mathematics, he created the problem know as Waring’s Problem in 1770. As Waring grew older he began to fall ill until he died in 1798. Waring incapability to communicate well hindered him from being revered as one being one of the most influential and or impact mathematicians of that era. Waring’s Problem would later on be solved by German mathematician David Hilbert in
