I believe this is the mathematician mentioned in class on Tuesday the 17th who died in a duel. This a short BBC podcast about his life and contributions to mathematics. The whole series is an interesting listen on the history of selected mathematicians.

If this wasn't the mathematician mentioned, oops, guess mathematicians were big into dueling.
