Would anyone consider Taylor? It's thanks to his methods of function approximation that modern computers can perform complex calculations.

What do you think the single greatest contribution of the Bernoullis is?

Aren't Gauss and Euler the best 2?

Riemann, he made so many contributions to so many fields, not to mention the fact that he basically founded Modern differential geometry.
For top 5 I'd say
1. Euler
2: Riemann
3. Gauss
4. Archimedes
5. Liebnitz and Newton

Euler - there is literally no competition. Anyone saying he isn't #1 GOAT is trolling and/or retarded.
