There's a rule in math that every discovery shall be named after the first person who discovered it after Euler

So Euler is (somebody like) the Jesus Christ of Math(?) ;-)

No, that's kinda like einstein and newton honestly, there's a reason they're known by people who don't run in scientific circles as well

Einstein and Newton were physicists. If we're talking math, it's gotta be either Euler or Gauss methinks. Or, well, Euclid if we want to go really back.

(in fact, Einstein was supposedly not very good at math; he had amazing physical intuition but needed help to formalise it)
