I didn't read the whole paper yet so could be wrong, but the intro sections inferred this, so I'm taking a small leap. Thanks for confirming so Thomas. What a really, really interesting guy Kahan is (he's still alive, maybe in Toronto? update: nope, still at Berkeley). Obviously brilliant, he's also pragmatic and a creative idea guy and pretty good writer too (in general, not even just for a mathematician). I'd like to be able to sit and just chat with him, about so many topics. --Bob Prosperi |
