    No one means Laplace the person if they say Laplace. And the same for Lagrange though that’s usually only Lagrange points and Laplace is mostly the distribution but also other stuff. Very little of mathematics is named for women because of misogyny. The only thing that comes to mind is Noether’s theorem and that’s not something you come across often. We have Pythagoras but not Hypathia. Einstein but not Maric. At least Lovelace is as famous as Babbage.

    Cool thanks. Skimming the article it seems they find a relationship between IQ and income but not wealth. The explanatory variables seem odd - in the literature section they mention research on gender and income but it is not mentioned in their analysis at all. Their analysis of financial difficulty seems wobbly and they have conclusions and hypotheses but personally I don’t find the results very convincing. Apart from a protective effect of a very low IQ score. I am going to guess that financially savvy people would blaze through the test, collect their $50 and spend the rest of their day on some better.
