Probably a huge amount given that ~50% of the mathematicians* who have ever been alive are alive today.
Source: Pure Mathematics Hons BSc, St Andrews - I took the St Andrews "History of Mathematics" course this site's information is used in.
*For a given value of 'mathematician'. And 'alive', I guess.
- mbrd 9y agoNice to see another St Andrews person on HN - I took that course too! I only wrote two essays during my four year degree, one for this class! (I wrote about Alexander Aitken, a gifted mental arithmetician)
