Math & Science Anagrams Here is a look at some messages found in the names of famous scientists and mathematicians. Unlike most of the other galleries which feature entertainers, athletes and other such celebrities, many of the names here have endured for centuries and will likely be known for a long time to come. At present, all of the names are presented together but they may be separated into categories as the number increases. |
