words describing someone who is expert in many things  I just
wondered, what could we call a person with deep knowledge in
various fields? For example, computers, music, sports, etc.  I
think I could use sage, but it wouldn't be appropriate if
someone is experienced in multiple fields.  share|improve this

answer There were serious reservations to renaissance man, in a
reply to another question earlier. –  Kris Feb 15 '12 at 8:41
polymath is the word used usually, +1 for that. For those

knowledge in general, which perfectly fits. Renaissance man may
have many artistic skills also, which I am not sure whether goes
along. –  karthik Feb 15 '12 at 9:35 @
