Archimedes lived two centuries after Pythagoras and knew more math in spite of being known as an engineer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes#Mathematics
However, calculus is obvious now, so that won’t work.
But the task is now easy—I’d talk to Archimedes about plant rights (see http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/03/morality_of_the.html).
Interesting. I think this comment could plausibly be the primary inspiration for HP:MoR’s chapter 48 :-)
