[Blindmath] blind mathematician/computer scientist

Wed Apr 9 12:46:54 UTC 2014

I think some one else inverted the sphere but he is on a short list with Euler and Nemeth.   Chatters i did not know.  I had hoped collectively we could make a larger list.  I had actually hoped to find some who had done cryptography or computational complexity.  Thanks everyone.
