President Donald Trump is an American media personality, real estate developer, and
businessman with a net worth estimated at $3 billion to $10 billion, depending on who’s
making the calculations. The most recent list of global billionaires, released by Forbes in
September 2018, puts Trump in the 766th position with a net worth of $3.1 billion. That makes
him America's first billionaire president.
Trump began his career at his father's company, then called Elizabeth Trump & Son. He
worked there while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and
joined the business full-time after he graduated in 1968. With a flair for publicity and a series
of high-profile construction and renovation projects in New York City, Trump’s career
unfurled very much in the public eye.

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in the New York City borough of Queens,
the youngest of five children. His mother, Mary Anne, was born on the Isle of Lewis, off the west
coast of Scotland, later immigrating to the United States. His father, Fred Trump, was the son
of a Klondike Gold Rush restaurateur and home builder. At the time of Donald’s birth, his father
was developing housing complexes in New York City, especially Brooklyn, catering to middle-
income soldiers returning from World War II and their families. By the time Donald was born,
Fred Trump had been a successful New York real estate developer for almost 20 years.
But it was Donald’s mother who instilled in him something that would distinguish him
from equally successful real estate moguls — an appreciation for the power of spectacle. As a
six-year-old, he watched as his mother was swept away by the pageantry of the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth II. It made a big impression on the boy. "I realize now that I got some of my
sense of showmanship from my mother," he writes. "She always had a flair for the dramatic and
the grand.” His parents raised their large family in a two-story mock-Tudor home in Jamaica
Estates, Queens. As a child, Donald went to Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills, Queens. Fred was
on the Board of Trustees of the private school. At an early age, Donald began getting into trouble.
"In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye — I punched my music teacher
because I didn't think he knew anything about music, and I almost got expelled," Trump
would later recall. Worried about his son’s apparent lack of discipline, Fred moved Donald to
the New York Military Academy in upstate Cornwall, New York, to begin the eighth grade.
Donald would remain there throughout high school. He graduated with the rank of cadet
captain, and later credited the school as the place where he learned to channel "aggression
into achievement."

Angela Merkel was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany on November 22, 2005. The first
woman to hold the position, Merkel emerged as one of the strongest forces in European
politics over the subsequent decade. She has frequently been called the most powerful woman
in the world and the de facto leader of the European Union.
Merkel was raised and educated in East Germany. She earned a doctorate in quantum
chemistry and worked as a research scientist, only entering politics after the fall of the Berlin
Wall. After serving as a spokesperson for the caretaker East German government, she was
elected to the Bundestag in the first election after unification in 1990. Helmut Kohl, the first
chancellor of the reunified state, appointed her to successive cabinet positions and championed
her career. When Kohl’s Christian Democratic Union was voted out in 1998, Merkel became
the party’s Secretary-General and then its Leader. After a tight election and two weeks of
negotiations with the CDU’s coalition partners, Merkel became Chancellor in 2005.
Merkel’s tenure has been characterized by her desire for a strong EU and by the crises it
has faced. Governing from the center-right, by European standards, she drew criticism from
the left after the 2008 financial crisis due to the perception that Germany was imposing severe
austerity measures on Greece. In 2015, she made the controversial announcement that
Germany would process asylum applications for Syrian refugees who had arrived elsewhere
in Europe, including those being forced out of Hungary by far-right prime minister Viktor
Orban. Merkel was close with American presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, but
questioned the United States’ commitment to Europe after meeting with Donald Trump. She
is also an outspoken critic of Britain’s decision to leave the EU and of Vladimir Putin.
Though her popularity in Germany has vacillated considerably, Merkel is currently the
longest-tenured head of government in Europe. She stepped down as leader of her party in
2018 and has announced that she does not plan to run for re-election as Chancellor in 2021.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson is perhaps not a name that is universally recognized, but
Dodgson did achieve enormous success under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. He created this
pseudonym from the Latinization, Carolus Ludovicus, of his real given name. It was under the
name Lewis Carroll that Dodgson published the children’s books Alice’s Adventures in

Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking Glass (1872). Though Dodgson
achieved this success in children’s literature, he was not an author of children’s books by
training or profession. His education and chosen field of pursuit were far removed from the
field of children’s literature and were instead focused on theoretical mathematics.
Dodson graduated with honors from Christ Church, Oxford, in 1854 and then embarked
on a career in the world of academia. He worked as a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford and,
later in his career, published a number of theoretical works on mathematics under his own
name rather than under the pseudonym that he used for his children’s stories. He produced a
number of texts for students, such as A Syllabus of Plane Algebraical Geometry (1860),
Formulae of Plane Trigonometry (1861), which were notable for the creativity of the symbols
that he used to express trigonometric functions such as sine and cosine, and A Guide for the
Mathematical Student (1866). In a number of more esoteric works, he championed the
principles of Euclid; in Euclid and his Modern Rivals (1879), he presented his ideas on the
superiority of Euclid over rival mathematicians in a highly imaginative fashion, by devising a
courtroom trial of anti-Euclid mathematicians that he named “Euclid-wreakers” and
ultimately finding the defendants guilty as charged. Curiosa Mathematica (1888-1893) made
a further defense of Euclid’s work, focusing on Euclid’s definition of parallel lines. These
academic works never had the universal impact of Dogson’s works for children using the
name Lewis Carroll, but they demonstrate a solid body of well-regarded academic material.
