Lunar features named after mathematicians

About 300 mathematicians have lunar features (mostly craters) named after them.

You can see an account of how these features were named and links to files of whom they were called after.

The list of lunar crater names gives you the chance to download the full list in various formats.

If you go to the larger file (88K) you can see the features courtesy of the Lunar and Planetary Institute.
