| May 31, 2013 at 13:14 | comment | added | user9072 | Could we limit the discussion to somewhat recent (say 20th century and later)? If not there are many "half-way" examples. | |
| May 31, 2013 at 13:13 | comment | added | Barry Cipra | I assume the OP means famous math papers/results by amateurs.... | |
