Word of the day: polymath.
Another word for the oft-heard "Renaissance man" is polymath.
A polymath (also known as a polyhistor) is a person who excels in multiple fields, particularly in both arts and sciences.Curiously, I found this applied to Melvin van Peebles at Metacritic, although I admit I don't know much about Melvin or his math skills. How can you pass up a movie review for "How to Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (and Enjoy It)"?

Is he related to Mario Van Peebles?
He is the father of Mario van Peebles. You should check out the pseudo-documentary Baadasssss! (aka How to Get the Man's Foot Outta Your Ass) about Melvin van Peebles making Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song.
