isn't that the guy who died when he was 20 or something from a duel?
Correct! (but since he had his life cut short we don't know if he'd not otherwise have become an even greater mathematician.)

but then again, applied maths = fail.
really????

mine's a tossup, between gauss and euler. Gauss was my maths teacher's favourite, though I think mine is Euler. I more focus on the science-y side of things though, so he isn't my overall favourite.

the very maths we know would be nothing without Pythagoras "the father of numbers"

The answer to that is simply pushing him into the ground. Given his build, it's very easy to do. Or remind him that in an arm wrestle, he will be beaten by almost everyone. Both has worked well.
