Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions.
"Christian Felix Klein" was a Germany/German mathematician, known for his work in group theory, complex analysis, non-Euclidean geometry, and on the connections between geometry and group theory. His 1872 Erlangen program/Erlangen Program, classifying geometries by their underlying symmetry group (mathematics)/groups, was a hugely influential synthesis of much of the mathematics of the day.

The greatest mathematicians, as Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, always united theory and applications in equal measure.
