You guys are really good, I was just unable to think of anybody else. At least I was sure there got to be more.

Oh, and once in number theory I was giving a presentation on some finite cyclic groups, and I was determining generators by referring to Lagrange, but also determining quadratic residues by referring to Legendre. I kept accidentally using the wrong name for the wrong theorem in my talk though. Dangerous to refer to both of them in the same discussion.
By the way, that sounds almost like a pun, "... I was giving a presentation on finite groups ... " . But yes, I really like Lagrange and Legendre. I should have thought of that. I remember when I was younger I get confused by who of these were.

You give math presentations in class? That sounds really fun.
