04/08/2005: "Famous Mathematicians"

There is a site where you can find a biography of nearly every important mathematician in history. They are cross-linked by what they've worked on as well as being listed by Name and Year. There are a few that I know and a boat-load that I don't and they even give you enough info about the math they were working on to play Jeopardy!, too! These are pretty fast and facinating little reads that kinda make you feel like you feel good about wasting hours surfing around the site - kinda like the Discovery Channel

For the ultra-geeks like me, there is the famous curves section, w00+!
