Re: Life of famous mathematicians..

that is your opinion........I give sarcastic answers and you give better
answers for the simple reason that my name is mahfoud and not Peter. The day
your name and mine fuse into one, I will start giving better answers.
you seem to dislike my answer but I am always shocked when we try to start
history in the 15th century and reduce it to western history. What's next?
That Europe invented the potato and corn and the first human came from
Europe?

sarcasm is the only answer to ideologic ignorance.

No, providing specific exceptions is another response, and indeed a much
better one.


The Babylonians gave us writing, math and a lot more but they never
thought that one day someone would use their Writing to deny them their
contributions to world culture...


Of course, we weren't discussing writing; we were discussing maths.

If you think the list is missing some important mathematicians, then add
them in. Just saying it is missing some people but not saying who they are
is pointless, and tends to undermine your argument that the list is
unrepresentative.
