David Jones. (Yes, that was his name.) Today we'd probably all call him 
Davy Jones. Which would probably puzzle the hell out of him.

He was one of the lecturers at college. If you want to know about the 
binomial theorum, or Dikjstra's shunting algorithm, or DeMorgan's 
theorum, or the vector cross product, this guy can tell you everything 
it is humanly possible to know, and how to apply it to any imaginable 
mathematical problem. Try to explain to him that you're taking down the 
B/W posters to replace them with colour versions of the same posters, 
and he looks at you like "wait... what?" Very strange.

Possibly not. Unless - like me - you build expression parsers just for 
giggles...
