I always found him to be a strangely attractive mathematical figure.

Sort of neat how a mathematical concept which has become so solidly

Indeed. One tends to think of "mathematicians" as those people who lived 
in ancient Greece several millenia ago. It seems strange to think that 
some of them are still alive today...
