And yet...I did. Calc 1-2-3 and Diff EQ.

Not saying I've never heard of him...I'm sure I have.

Just saying that he's not well known...especially not compared to the list on B2.

This would be like learning about quantum mechanics without hearing the name Schroedinger. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 10:09 6
- We were too busy learning how the math worked and not who did the math in the first place; in my experience. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 10:12
- Leibniz doesn't have a cat named after him. - musubi Oct 21, 10:11
- Again...not saying I didn't hear it. Just saying I don't remember it and that he's not well known. -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 10:10 3
  - and if *Jim* doesn't remember it it must not be at all culturally significant. - znufrii Oct 21, 10:11 2
    - Jim's not saying he's not culturally significant though. - musubi Oct 21, 10:14 1
      - whatever Jim says is right, obvie. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 10:19
