In which case it has to be Euclid or Pythagoras (early) or Paul Erdős - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number and everyone has heard of John Nash (Beautiful Mind) etc. In the spirit of recent discussions, how about a RNG to pick the mathematician's name for each next incarnation? ;-) >> If it has to be some thing more descriptive: Apache Commons HttpClient >> went >> to Apache HttpComponents. How about Apache Math Components as TLP name? I quite like Apache Epsilon as a non-descriptive but related name.
