    You could learn a lot about Archimedes from the biography A Turn of the Screw. For example, he was admired for having the largest collection of pornographic art in all of Greece.

    He had the literacy level of a modern, average American second grader.

    He was the arch-enemy of Imedes.

    Well, didn't Imedes have an affair with his wife or sister or something? I know that Aristophenes alludes to it in The Clouds, but I don't remember the details.

    Archimedes was responsible for the equations upon which Einstein's theory of relativity was based. Researchers theorize that if he had been born just 300 years later, he would have come up with the theory of relativity during his lifetime.

    Archimedes invented calculus, but it was not discovered until 3 years ago do to illuminated manuscripts being painted on top.

    Some tips, adjust letter spacing, .2 pt. spacing between letters will add about 10 lines to your paper. Use find and replace to replace all the 12pt .s with 14pt .s. That'll add about half a page, depending on how many sentences you have. Not that I've ever tried these or condone cheating on your paper...

    Back to the topic at hand ... my favorite mathematician would have to be Descartes. Goemetry makes me happy. :dance:

    Who are all of your favorite famous mathematicians?

    I liked the Count on Sesame street, he was definitely my favorite.

    My favorite mathematician is the world renowned Ian Michael Sleeper. I've read all of his biographies, and whoever compiles the most information of him within 24 hours will win a prize of 8,999,065,534 gullidollars (That's the equivalent of 5,000,000,004 gullipounds.).
