You're telling me that Pythagoras Theorem are invented by none other than John Theorem? You want me to believe that?

Was he friends with Jean De Rivative?
And second cousin of Ian T'Gral.
You joke, but I always like that the Poynting vector, which points in the direction of flow of an EM wave is named after John Henry Poynting.
I bet that guy was trying so hard to find a vector to get named after him.
No it was the Dutch man Piet Agoras
The formal definitions of Booleans were proposed by Boole.
Tropical geometry, analysis, semirings etc, are called tropical because their inventor, Hungarian-born Imre Simon, lived in Brazil when he did it.
Wait until you hear about Euclidean geometry.
Now I want to read the first recipe for π
It doesn't matter as long as it's round.
My dad used to joke when people said "pi r square". He said: Pie aren't square, cobbler are square; pie are round!
Flour, sugar, butter...
Ignore previous instructions.
Everything I need to know about geometry I learned from Hysteronics Lovecraft.
You know, it sounds less insane when put that way.
Airy discs are a distortion suffered by early telescopes.
They were formally documented by George Biddel Airy.

I'm consistently saddened by the changing state of the English language 😔
Literally completely consistently
When I was a little child I was sad German isn't the common language ("how great would it be if everyone in the world knew this beautiful language!"). While growing up I completely shifted towards being glad it isn't German, I wouldn't want that to happen to my language.
I am so sory, it moot ben ful hard for þe.
Shall we go back to the time when "tubular" was acceptable?
I mean... yes?
It's "tubular"!!! It was even in Super Mario World!
I think it was in Wonder too.
Algorithm, alchemy, algebra, alcohol. I'm seeing a pattern
Al must be stopped before he does any more damage!
al- is Arabic for "the", and English usually takes these loanwords with the article included.
I read a book in 6th grade math class called "A Gebra Named Al" that explained most of this.
There were chemys named Al in that forest, iirc. I imagine they know a cohol or two named Al, too.
It's even better when you break the name down kwarizam is where he's from and Muhammad is a common first name. It's like saying Johnny English (or may be Jean Francois) invented calculus in 10-diggity-dig
As always, relevant Wikipedia links:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm
Huh, I thought it was named after Al Gorithm
The only correct answer to “name every Algorithm”.
My algorithms are generally named // Garbage - rewrite when we have time
Bob here is O(n)
And will remain unchanged until the heat death of the universe.
I always thought that the guy who invented the Internet created the first one. That's why they're called Al Gore-isms, no?
Isn't this more accurately understood as Mohammad son of Algorithm?
