05/14/02 - Two plus Two correction: Greetings list members,
In my haste to quickly dispense with Josh Narins, I gave the wrong first name for the famous mathematican Russell. It is funny that not one of the `Super Great' mathematicans on this list spotted this error. Where is the Demon Repro Man when we need him? Maybe the math junkies on this list are not that Super nor Great. Anyway, the man's correct name is Bertrand Albert Russell. 3d Earl 1872 - 1970 Math and Philos. He was the man that proved 2 + 2 = 4 or was it 1 + 1 = 2 ? Now, I am not sure which he proved, but fear not, one of our resident `Super Great' math junkies should be able to elighten us, if for a moment they would be willing to take their head out of the garbage dump of lower choices.
