  Pretty sure you mean "contracted" TB, but the typo did provide a humourous mental image.

      Your first clause is complex and correct so you're doing just fine. :)

  ...so even at the end of their lives they would have still easily qualified for the Fields Medal. Maybe they should receive a posthumous honorary one. Or maybe they already did?

    Yes I think Galois deserves a Fields in his name

      Well, not the same, but Galois did get fields in his name, actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_field https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_field . Is that what you intended?

        Yes, that's the joke ;)
