As a statistician, Lowe was one of an early group who collected economic data, and applied it in pamphlets and polemics. In fact the term current then was "political arithmetician". The larger significance of the statistical work of Lowe and Thomas Tooke is that they collected figures from the period of the Continental System, of the latter part of the Napoleonic Wars. These data were then deployed in the theoretical arguments of the 1820s, dominated by David Ricardo and his doctrine on convertibility.

Image of Cheng Dewei Cheng Dawei (1533–1606), also known as Da Wei Cheng or Ch'eng Ta-wei, is a Chinese mathematician known mainly as the author of Suanfa Tongzong (General Source of Computational Methods). He has been described as "the most illustrious Chinese arithmetician." Almost all that is known about his life is contained in a passage written in the Preface of the book by one of his descendants when the book was being reprinted: :In his youth my ancestor Cheng Da Wei was academically gifted, but although he was well versed in scholarly matters, he continued to carry out his profession as a sincere Local Agent, without becoming a scholar.

Text from a manuscript of his Trattato d'Abbaco in Paolo's own handwriting Paolo Dagomari da Prato (1282-1374), known in Latin as Paulus Geometrus (Paolo il Geometra, "Paul the Geometer"), was a noted Florentine mathematician and astronomer, such a maestro dell'abbaco (master/teacher of the abacus) that he gained the epithet Paolo dell'Abbaco. Franco Sacchetti called him Paolo Arismetra e Astrologo (arithmetician and astronomer) and Giorgio Vasari Paulo Strolago or Paolo Astrologo (astronomer). He reputedly had 6,000-10,000 pupils over the course of his life, being praised by contemporaries like Giovanni Gherardi da Prato,Il Dagomari a moltissimi, anzi a infiniti nella nostra Firenze fu in aritmetica diligentissimo maestro, rinovellatore di buone e utilissime regole, e principiò a scorgere la nostra città alle utili e leggiadre regole dell'algoritmo inaudito e morto per moltissimi secoli (Paradiso degli Alberti, Vol. II, p.

By July 2008, both O'Connor and Vorderman announced that they would be leaving by the end of that year, after the conclusion the 59th series. While O'Connor was forced to leave in order to concentrate on other projects, Vorderman left after her offer to take a 33% salary decrease was rejected and production staff asked her to take a 90% pay cut; her agent stated that staff had told him that the show had survived the death of host Richard Whiteley in 2005 and could "easily survive without you." The search for a replacement for both saw some media reports suggesting it be either Rory Bremner, the early favourite, or Alexander Armstrong as the new presenter, but both ruled themselves out of the job. At the same time, speculation was made that several prominent women, including Anthea Turner, Ulrika Jonsson and Myleene Klass, were up for Vorderman's job, but Channel 4 revealed that the role was to be assigned to a previously unknown male or female arithmetician with "charm and charisma".
