How is it humanly possible to be this fucking smug?
When I was first learning about the fourier series, his smug face was haunting me.

JJ Fourier is a cool guy though. Mathematics and science today is much different than it used to be. The smug assholes you see today are nothing compared to men like Fourier

Poor guy. He honestly seemed like a good dude. He was well liked and popular in his day

I wish scientists today were like Fourier. Instead we have beggars clothed in purple robes.

Poor Legendre. All his work in number theory was essentially ripped off by Gauß.
