   Cantor proved that, for example, the set of all non-negative integers i.e {0,1,2,3,…} and the set of all even non-negative integers i.e. {0,2,4,6,…} are the same size. If anyone’s interested it’s called denumerability and can be found on Wikipedia somewhere I’m sure. Also, if you’re feeling sadistic, read up on Cantor’s diagonalization argument, aka the bane of my existence.

   Oliver Heaviside was actually so bonkers that he had negative age and lived from 1950 to 1925! Wow!

   A Beautiful Mind is about John Nash, who suffered from schizophrenia.

   Heaviside was also famous (and more noteable in Engineering circles) for the Heaviside step function. This is used in modelling current flow in circuits.
