Ever heard of the Italian genius called Fibonacci (real name is Leonardo Pisano Bigollo)? Thanks to a criminal lack of coverage in schools and universities, Fibonacci is often ignored except among math circles. After studying in Algiers during the 13th century, Fibonacci decamped to Europe and brought with him Hindu-Arabic numerals, which changed, of course.
