I don't think it's reasonable to say that he was the 20th century's greatest geometer. He may have been the greatest in his particular flavor of geometry, but certainly people like Grothendieck and Thurston can be called geometers - it's like saying that Conway was the 20th century's greatest algebraist.130.238.5.5 22:23, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of name?
