    I am assuming these are mathematicians? I recognize about 1/4 of these names but it always good to learn some more.

    All this talk about maths is giving me flashbacks of my chem eng masters before I switched to medicine haha.

    Very interesting though, I like how you're talking about other things like the history of maths.
