Who Could be Called Polymath

Generaly polymath must have notable achievements within several DIFFERENT and NON-RELATED subject areas, typically in both arts and sciences. For instance, achievements in biology, chemistry and physics are considered to be related, since all three belong to Natural Sciences.
