Hello

I am still translating Iverson's paper. It really takes time. One more
question:

<quote>
+/⍳n+/⌽⍳n+ is associative and commutative((+/⍳n)+(+/⌽⍳n))÷2(x+x)÷2←→x
(+/(⍳n)+(⌽⍳n))÷2+ is associative and commutative(+/((n+1)⍴n))÷2Lemma
((n+1)×n)÷2Definition of ×

The fourth annotation above concerns an identity which, after observation
of the pattern in the special case (⍳5)+(⌽⍳5) , might be considered obvious
or might be considered worthy of formal proof in a separate lemma.

In the above, I think more natural way of thinking is, the fifth line
should've been instead (+/(n⍴n+1))÷2,since (⍳n)+(⌽⍳n) is identical to n⍴n+1.

Do you also think this was a typo? Or is there any other thing that I am
missing?

June
