    Bien 113 years ago today.

    Did not have any idea about the marathon.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      When I was studying maths in Manchester in the 80's, I don't he was ever mentioned, which is really very sad. Now there's statues, and they named the new math department building after him in 2007.

      I was only joking

          From my point of view, his most important contribution is that he was the first (together with Alonzo Church) to define what computability means. The hard boundaries on what we can and cannot compute.

              And just how many maths did you study?

                Quite a lot - I studied polymaths.

                  I studied one math, I did it quite well, and then I moved on.

                    See, that's your American math. English maths is much more complete.

                    Similarly, I believe you colonial chaps take meth, whereas a British derelict will drink meths.
