Why are so many brilliant mathematicians so underrated by history
We seem to celebrate the sciences far more… create these celebrities and legends but mathematicians seem to be largely ignored…Leonard Euler, Bernard Riemann, Gottfried Leibniz, Lagrange, laplace even modern day wonders like Gregory Perelman aren’t in the public consciousness! Why are these peoples achievements not celebrated far more by the wider public?

I think it’s because people like making a show of “supporting” science without making any effort to learn anything. If you pay any real attention to most sciences, you’ll encounter these names as celebrated figures regularly. Especially by those who do the science. At least in the realms of physics and astrophysics. But most “fans” of science just like the idea of it. They don’t want to know the history or the processes.
