"his mathematics is largely self-taught" -> "Gosper enrolled in MIT in 1961, and received his bachelor's degree in mathematics from MIT in 1965." hmm, someone who knows should clear up what is meant by "largely self-taught". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.93.51.158 (talk) 04:32, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Hackmem and revolving his linked hands over his head and under his feet, both worth mentioning.

Bignum arithmetic
IIRC, Gosper discovered an error in the Maclisp bignum routines and then fixed them. Glrx (talk) 02:57, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * To say that someone discovered an error in Maclisp is a bit like saying someone fell off a log. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/easy_as_falling_off_a_log if necessary. 31.49.9.211 (talk) 18:16, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
