Because my friends are also nerds*, when we got distracted while working on our security project today we started looking through the Mathematics Genealogy Project. This project is like a family tree, except the links are based on the "is the PhD advisor of" relation instead of "is ancestor of". It may interest you to know that most of the famous Cornell CS professors trace back to the likes of Poisson, Fourier, Lagrange and Gauss.
We decided to include the path from my security professor to Gauss at the end of our PowerPoint presentation. We are presenting tomorrow, so I'll keep you updated on the response.
*Only with respect to the general population - they're the cool kids in the CS department. ;)
