Is this a trivia-based puzzle? Or will I be able to solve this without knowing anything about any of the famous mathematicians/literary figures in the first list?
 
It's a bit of both I've found. I've determined 7 of 11...some require solving some are twists of terms and some refer to literary figures.
 
That's reassuring. I have answers for 80% of them, but I've had to make some shaky semantic leaps for a few of them. Anyway, I think I'm on the right track...
